Two rescued baby pigs, Arnie and Frances need your help today. They escaped the horrors of abuse and now they need your support. Their unbelievable journey of perseverance and courage will melt your heart.

The day started off quiet, until Jale and Niblet started running up and down the track, notifying the team that something was the matter. We looked to see what all the commotion was and couldnt believe our eyes. Running towards Luvin Arms from the vast open fields were two baby pigs, literally running for their lives. They were shivering and cold. Their little ears were burned from the sun. We have never seen two babies so hungry and so incredibly thirsty.

At first, we had no indication of where they came from, or how they had made their way here. It was an absolute miracle. We believe they must have fallen off a transport truck on the nearby highway and journeyed together all the way to Luvin Arms.

Their arrival precisely to Luvin Arms is especially miraculous, because all the surrounding properties are farm operations that use animals for profit. Out of all the neighboring land, somehow, these two babies knew exactly which property was safe. Somehow, they knew that Luvin Arms would welcome them with outstretched, truly loving arms.

Born to die young. Frances (nicknamed Frankie) and Arnie have notches cut in their ears, indicating that they came from a factory farm operation, in which it is common practice to mutilate the ears to identify from which mother they came, and how many siblings they have.

They arrived starving, and with a cough, fever, and sunburnt ears. They are now under strict quarantine, because Frankie has treatment-resistant roundworm, which is incredibly contagious. Arnie is suffering from a painful pee pocket, preventing him from completely dispelling his urine. It requires daily draining and cleaning from the care staff and may even necessitate surgery to permanently correct.

These precious babies have endured the horrors of factory farming. They were prohibited from participating in natural pig behaviors such as making their beds in straw, mud bathing, and cuddling with their friends.

Frankie and Arnie now have a loving home at Luvin Arms. When they first arrived, Frankie was quite shy and fearful of humans; but as her needs for regular food, water, safety, and love have been met, her confidence has grown immensely. She now greets everyone who comes into their home with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Arnie is courageous and brave. He led them to safety. Arnie has always loved and craved connection, and he has a naturally adventurous spirit. He loves belly rubs and will patiently wait while he receives medical attention for his health issues. His eagerness to explore and play are so strong, we must distract him every time we open the door to their home!

Urgent Request: Frankie and Arnie found their way to Luvin Arms against all the odds. It was a miracle that they escaped the transport truck. It was a miracle that they walked onto the property of a Sanctuary instead of a farm. Now they need our help. Frankie and Arnies story is still unfolding help give them the life-saving medical care they need.

For the Betty White Challenge, donate to the miraculous rescued pigs, Frankie, and Arnie. They survived unspeakable violence and carried themselves to a place of Sanctuary in search of a better life. Please, give today to provide Frankie and Arnie with the life they deserve.
