How we began this amazing journey....
Our founder has always loved all animals, but pigs held a very special place in her heart. Once her children were teenagers, the family decided to add a pig to their family. Since there was only one rescue in Texas at the time, and it was 4 hours away, they went to Craigslist. They found their first piggy princess, Lulu.
At only 4 months old, Lulu had already ben in 4 different homes and had been abused at one point. She had several severe issues with aggression towards human males and was terrified of anything with a stick. Having researched for 2 years, mom knew that they could work through this together. After many hours scouring the pig groups on Facebook and talking to so many knowledgeable pig parents, mom learned how to work with traumatized pigs and rehab their spirit.
After being on all of those pages, it became exceedingly clear that there was an overwhelming need for a pig rescue in the Houston area. From that, everything that we are today, has come to be. It's a constant dedication of heart, body and soul from a handful of dedicated people, as well as an amazing group of supporters, that make the lives of our residents so comfortable and happy.
