Story
Can you help please?
We were told about a beautiful girl, Flora, and her five piglets that urgently needed to go to rescue. Dad had already been sent to the slaughterhouse, and one piglet had died. We hired a horsebox with a large ramp as Flora is a large girl with weak back legs, although she is only two. This is probably due to the hard ground she is living on and diet she has. We filled it with straw and good food.After some time her current "owner" could not load her onto the horsebox. He asked us to take the piglets or nothing. We are still in talks regarding Flora.
Heartbroken, we took the babies to a temporary safe home. They are thriving. Their new home awaits, but needs fencing. Time is against us as soon all of the animals at their current home will need to come in for the winter, so we need to settle them in their forever home as soon as we can. We need to raise £1,000 - £200 per piglet. This would help to cover the £125 horsebox hire, £50 fuel, £20 straw, £20 food plus the secure fencing and their ongoing care. Any surplus will go straight to the sanctuaries.
These are rescued piglets, their fate was certain death, but now their fate is safety, love and security. Please meet Jazzy-Julie, Oli, Lucy, Joe and Violet.

6 years agoWe recently went to visit our five piglets at their foster accommodation, and how they have grown! They are now steadily growing up into healthy, happy and very, very loved pigs. They live with three adult pigs who are caring for them and teaching them natural behaviours, as well as keeping them in check! We are now just £200 from our target. If you can spare a bit of change, or are able to share our fundraiser, please do. For the animals 🌻🐖

6 years agoWe are overjoyed to say that the piglets have been offered a forever home at the new New Hope Rescue. They will need fencing and a house which we hope we can provide. We will also provide funds to their current foster home to cover their stay. Enormous thanks to Niall Lester who has so generously offered to take the piglets once the gigantic task of moving their rescue is complete... Our never ending thanks to The Retreat for offering sanctuary and love when they (and we) needed it. Please help if you can x
