From the president
May 2024
Dear Supporter,
This May issue marks our 23rd year rescuing and caring for hundreds and hundreds of pigs who have come through our gates. Old, young, pregnant, injured, sick; they have all found refuge here. We offer a safe place for the pigs to live out their lives within a nurturing environment with food, water, shelter, medical care and love. We see them through their young years and often well into their late teens as you see by the pigs we have featured on the front and back covers of this issue. When their quality of life is no longer possible, we help them complete their journey on earth peacefully. This is the final gift we can give them.
Many of you have been with us for many anniversaries and for some it is your first. Some have lost their favorite sponsored pig along the way then found a new one in need of support. Many others of you offer your support however it is needed at the sanctuary. However, no matter how you have decided to support our pigs, we are so grateful you have chosen to do so. We are not an Island and no matter how dedicated we may be, we would not exist without you.
There have been so many pigs that have come through our doors this past year who we are so glad to have been able to save. They are now healthy and thriving.
The Berry Family, who stands out among so many because of the circumstances involved in their rescue, truly celebrates our 23rd Anniversary. As we head into our 24th year, this family is one example of how we continue to live out our mission.
Sincerely,
Mary Schanz, President & CoFounder
