Agnes Swinehoffer

Rescued pregnant pig at Fabled Farm Rescue and Sanctuary

Intake Date: 10/6/24

Age: 2 years

Breed: Meishan Pig

She was just a baby…injured, starving, and pregnant!

Agnes was injured, only 9 months old, and pregnant, so we drove 9 hours to get her to safety. She was started on a refeeding program and closely monitored by our vet through the remainder of her pregnancy. 

On the coldest night of the year, she gave birth to 10 piglets (sadly two were stillborn). The piglets grew quickly and thrived! After receiving their spay/neuters, deworming, and vaccines they were adopted in pairs to wonderful forever homes where they have continued to be spoiled and loved by their families.

Needing more time to recover, Agnes remained at Fabled Farm to get stronger and have her spay. She is now living her best life receiving extra treats and lots of love!

Favorite Things: Belly rubs, pears right from the tree, and a good mud wallow in the rain

Peebles Piggles

Rescued special needs pig at Fabled Farm Rescue & Sanctuary

Intake Date: 1/30/25

Age: 1 year

Breed: Farm Pig Mix

Peebles intake was a true emergency!

We learned about Peebles being abused in a domestic violence situation. His tail had been cut off and part of his back hoof. He was having seizures from malnutrition, barely conscious, and was in grave danger.

We provided immediate medical care and months of physical therapy to help Peebles heal. Now at over 300lbs, Peebles is a happy, playful piggie who just wants all the kisses, belly rubs, and pets! He is a pig ambassador to farm visitors and new piglet arrivals.

Due to the potential for long term issues as he continues to grow (farm pigs grow to 700lbs or more) Peebles will remain in the Fabled Farm Sanctuary Program.

Favorite Things: Belly rubs, playing in the mud, and getting all of the snacks possible

You haven't truly lived until you have given a piggy a belly rub!

Meet Albert Pigglesnort and Archie Oinkerton! Yes, pigs do need two names, because they are very dignified animals!

Albert and Archie arrived at Fabled Farm within weeks of each other and immediately became best buds! They eat together, sleep together, and play together.

Albert and Archie love being the first pigs that many people have ever met! They truly enjoy all of the attention, belly rubs, and treats.

These boys travel to events and help spread the word that pigs are amazing, intelligent creatures that deserve love.

Orville & Otis

Intake Date: 8/8/21 & 11/23/21

Age: 4 year

Breed: Juliana Pig

Orville Pignbacher and Otis Piggerington are distinguished gentlemen!

Orville arrived at Fabled Farm first as a tiny 2 pound piglet that was barely alive from a lack of proper nutrition. He lived in our house for weeks receiving round the clock monitoring and feeding. 

Otis arrived in the same condition. It was touch and go for both piglets for several weeks. Finally, they were strong enough to survive! 

They were best friends within minutes! Orville and Otis can always be found together lounging in the sunshine, hoping for belly rubs, or curled up sleeping. Both boys have helped teach people the joy of and intelligence of pigs!

Favorite Things: Belly rubs, snacks, and playing in a kitty pool on a hot summer day

Bitty Boo

Rescued Pig Bitty Boo at Fabled Farm Rescue and Sanctuary

Intake Date: 11/17/23

Age: 10 years

Breed: Pot Belly Pig

Bitty broke our hearts!

Bitty's hooves were overgrown and twisted under her feet. She was so overweight she could hardly see and could only stand for a minute.

We worked with our vets on a diet to help her lose enough weight to sedate her for her spay, tusk trim, and a more thorough hoof trim. By examining her teeth, our vet learned she was 9 years old instead of 4 as we were told.

Bitty was so sad when she arrived and missed her home. Pigs are very emotional creatures and don't handle moves well. Once she was well enough, we introduced her to Percy Piggles, and they helped each other heal. Due to her age and health concerns, Bitty Boo will remain in the Fabled Farm Sanctuary Program.

Favorite Things: Exploring, snacks, and dinner time
