Mr. Buttons is showing on his manly prowess! While it can take a few weeks for the hormones to dissipate, he is certainly a lot calmer than when he arrived 🤣 #toohornytofunction #piggy #oink #pigsofinstagram #animalsanctuary #animalrescue

Mr. Buttons was born to be a model! He got his adoption photoshoot yesterday 🎉 This is such a special moment for our fosters because it is one huge step in the process to help them find their forever home.

Mr. Buttons was so excited to strut about, letting everyone know that he is the manliest piggy at the rescue.

Want to adopt Mr. Buttons? You can fill out and adoption application on our website below. He is neutered and 4.5yo. He is super friendly and good with other non-bossy pigs, though he can be adopted solo. We transport up to 6hr from our rescue (with health certificates) and support our adopters for the lifetime of the pig.

Welcome Marzipan! This sweet lady was found on the side of a logging route alone in a very rural part of the state. She looked lost and so worried!

A local reached out to a rescue friend of ours who then asked us to help. We do our best to help out stray pigs in our region because we know they have nowhere else to go, so we agreed to take her in.

Our friends were able to capture her (in the middle of nowhere, very impressive!) and transport her to safety. Marzi arrived here with Mr. Buttons last weekend. She has the most gorgeous eyes, is quite shy but loves belly rubs. At around 250lb, she is a large girl and likely has some big pig mixed in with her. We think she'll be happy here once she learns to trust us 🐷💕

Romeo is dreaming about one day finding his forever home 🐷💤 Our rescue currently has 9 piggies looking for their forever home, including Romeo, with more becoming available after their spay and neuter surgeries. Some of our piggies have been waiting almost 2 years!

All of our adoptable piggies are fixed. We have younger piggies, older piggies, solo pigs, and bonded pairs. We transport (within reason) and help our adopters bond a new piggy with their own. And best yet, we offer a lifetime of support.

Check out our adoptables and apply today: bit.ly/pigsatPSR

Mr. Buttons did very well for his neuter. My vet recovered him from anesthesia in the sunshine 🥺 Vets really are the best folk.

Thank you all who donated towards his neuter! As of 2pm, we have $250 covered of his $290 bill. We are so lucky to have such great supporters 💕 Want to send Mr. Buttons a few bucks? You can still donate here: bit.ly/supportPSR

🐷 New rescue alert! 🐷 Please help us neuter Mr. Buttons 🥜🚫 Donation link below ⬇️

We have been trying to save Mr. Buttons from harm for almost a month. Stud Buttons (as he is now known) was posted for free by his owner on Facebook. He was clearly in bad shape: his tusks were grown into his face and his ears had been ripped off... and of course, he isn't fixed. Many folks reached out to the owner to try to get this poor pig to safety, but the owner would often stop responding or block people offering help. After weeks of failed transport arrangements and 3 legs later, he is now safe!

The owner transported him in the back of her truck with bags of trash. After posting him for free and promising to eat him if no home was found, she cried over losing him the day of pick-up. We learned that she hunts potbellies and big pigs on a local hunting lot and that it was her own dog that ripped off his ears years ago. How someone could let their pet suffer, threaten to eat them, kill other pigs for fun, stonewall efforts to help with rehoming, but cry over giving their "beloved" pet away? Disgusting.

We trimmed Mr. Buttons's ingrown tusks asap to give him some relief. His tusks had grown at least 1 inch into his face! Our wonderful vet was able to fit him into her surgery schedule today! He'll have his damaged ears and tusk wounds assessed plus get the good-ole "snip snip."

His neuter today is estimated to cost $290. Pigsburgh Squealers Rescue runs 100% on small donations from folks that enjoy our daily photos of pigs. We are also a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, meaning every dollar donated is tax deductible. Please consider sending Mr. Buttons $5 to help out with today's vet bill. Neutering will give him a new chance at life as a happy, healthy, beloved member of our family and, eventually, his own forever family.

You can donate via this post or PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, or send a check: bit.ly/supportPSR

Happy Snout Sunday from Rumpelstiltskin! He is our newest resident at Pigsburgh Squealers Rescue. He is a retired research piggy who, thankfully, was given a second chance by Kansas City Pig Rescue Network. His breed is Gottingen which is a small, pink type of piggy bred exclusively by bioscience facilities for use in medical research.

Our rescue helped place over a dozen of these retired cuties from Cornell back in 2020-21, but now it's just seemed right to adopt one of our own. Blue made the trip out to Kansas City in March to bring this boy (and Daisy) home. Rumpel has been the absolute sweetest boy since his arrival. Everything is a bit of learning curve for him since he lived his first 6 months in a sterile lab environment, but he is a steadfast gentleman every single day.

At a year old, he is a petite boy but will still grow to be a pretty typical "mini pig" size of 100-150lb once he is full grown at 3-5 years old.

Happy Saturday from "The Family," as we call them here. This adorable trio has been doing well since they arrived. All three are super sweet! Momma Sage is a powerful force at mealtime (typical kunekune!), step-dad Rudy is a bit shy but very gentle, and baby Roxy is starting to accept belly rubs.

We are going to get momma Sage and baby Roxy in the books for their spays so they can all start finding their forever homes. #spayandneuter #animalsanctuary #animalrescue #piggy #piggie #oink #minipig #kunekune

Excuse this brief break from social media... Blue and Zack are in Hawai'i! We are visiting friends, pig parents, and pig sanctuaries on Big Island and Maui over a week. We rarely leave the rescue for any amount of time so this trip is very special.

We visited Magical Creatures Sanctuary, Selah's Pig Sanctuary, are staying at Maui Pig Sanctuary, and are visiting Leilani's and Ohana Sanctuaries tomorrow. We trimmed a few piggies, too, plus shared a ton of medical info with pig parents. The native pigs are here the absolute cutest. AND we got to see a Kīlauea eruption! We're having a great time but look forward to coming home later this week.

Blanche got adopted! We boarded our friend's pig named Piggy for a few weeks and bonded her with Blanche. This redhead caught our friend's eye when she came to visit and pick a new piggy.

The bonding process went super well! It seems that Piggy was very ready for a porcine friend. Both headed to their forever home this week. Congrats to Blanche and her new family!

Help us welcome our three newest intakes Sage, Rudy, and Roxy! These three kunekune mixes arrived last week and have settled in marvelously.

Their former owner reached out to a pig rehoming network after she got way over her head. She had adopted a "fixed" pair of pigs named Rudy and Sage to be friends with her intact male pig. Well, the girl was not fixed, and a few months later, there were suddenly 13 piglets. The former owner was able to place 10 of the babies, but had made no effort to fix her boar or separate the sexes. So, 5 months later, momma looked to be pregnant again, and so was her little 5mo daughter.

Momma Sage is already underweight from having to raise 13 babies. And, of course, it was super dangerous for baby Roxy to give birth at such young age. Plus, mom and baby had likely been impregnated by one of the young boys related to them. There are significant risks with any animal giving birth, and we will always prioritize the health and safety of our pigs above all else. We agreed to help, so the three were surrendered to us. For the two girls' medical safety and health, we medically terminated their pregnancies. They are doing very well now and out of harms way.

Rudy is so happy to still have his girlfriend and adopted daughter. We will schedule Sage and Roxy's spays next month. Spaying is an essential step to prevent uterine cancers, infections, and pregnancies. These surgeries, for all of our fosters and residents, are one of our core values at our rescue. Once fixed, this trio will start their journey to find their very own forever home.

After 713 days, Chili Bean and Pita finally got adopted!

These two arrived to us months after their mom suddenly passed away. They were longtime hoof trim clients of ours, so this news came as a big surprise. Their dad couldn't care for them, so asked for our help. We agreed, but we were very hesitant to take them in. Chili and Pita were morbidly obese, so much so that they were completely fat blind and could barely walk.

We knew it would take years to get them healthy... and it did. After a year of exercise, good diet, and love, they were able to get brow lift surgeries (and a much needed spay for Chili). They were so happy! They could finally see again after years in darkness.

It is very difficult to find loving families that want to adopt older pairs of pigs. Well, these two finally found their family yesterday 🥺 They have a new brother Wilbur who they will meet soon. And so much grass! This isn't goodbye... we'll see them in a few months for hoof trims 😉

"Hello," from Doc. He hopes his cute face injects some sunshine into this rainy day.

Doc arrived at our rescue in the Fall after his momma, and longtime friend of the rescue, passed from cancer. He has been doing quite well at our rescue and now lives with 10 other pigs in our general population "Thunderdome" pen.

He is such a sweet boy. We love you too, Doc 🐷 Want to sponsor Doc and help us with his care? For $30, we'll mail you a personal note and photo of Doc. Head over to our website and write "Doc" in the sponsorship box: bit.ly/supportPSR

Romeo, O Romeo 🥲 This boy is back at our rescue, though it is kinda his fault 😅

He was adopted as a friend for a family's solo pig back in late Fall. Even after months of living together, Romeo bullied his new brother continuously so we all agreed it would be best for him to come back to us. We always welcome our piggies back if things don't work out (it's part of our mission and our contract) but it's bittersweet to see Romeo's cute face again. We have hundreds of successful adoptions and amazing adopters across the country, so we are very proud of our adoption process nonetheless.

Romeo is available for adoption again. He would make a lovely solo family piggy or as a roommate for a bossier pig. He is about 5yo, sweet, and neutered. Reach out to us if you're interested in adding him to your family.

Happy Saturday from Beans 🐷 Pigs often start losing their hair this time of year as the weather warms. Not just a little shedding... but a full-on BLOW. Every pig will look like micro-hippos very soon!

Beans has started losing his hair in a very unique way already 🦲 And by the way, Beans is one of many pigs at our rescue looking for a monthly sponsor. For $30, we send a photo of your piggy along with a personal note. Sign up today: bit.ly/supportPSR

Yesterday was a photoshoot day, due to our power outage at home and Blue's job. Today's feature is ROSE 🌹

We try to take photos of our adoptable and resident piggies whenever possible for sponsorships and to help increase the chance of our fosters finding their forever homes.

Rose is bursting with personality. She is social with pigs and people, sweet, and oh-so pretty. She was saved from being shot along with her 4 relatives back in January. Rose is about 1.5yo, spayed, and a stout kunekune mix. You can apply to adopt Rose here: bit.ly/PSRadopt

You're the best, Rox! 🥳🐷

Sugar went to her forever yesterday with our very good friends at The Bitch Barn. After spending her early years hidden inside from a landlord and in our barn through winter, Sugar is so happy to be in sunshine, grass, and mud!

Brutus went to his new family! He has been waiting months for the warm weather so that he could meet his new sisters. His momma adopted her second pig from us 6 years ago and now has 4 pigs. His new mom and dad have been visiting him at our rescue many times and showering him with love.

The girls weren't very happy to have a boy in their pen (i.e. clashes over hierarchy thus the slippery vaseline ears), but things are working out. Initial introductions are often stressful, but so worth it once they are all one pig happy family. Congrats to Brutus and his new family!

Our baby Chris got spayed today 💓 She is 81lb at about 10 months old... smaller than other "show piggies" her age but very healthy nonetheless. She has come such a long way from the sickly, mangey, emaciated piglet that arrived in January. And guess what!? Chris has a potential adopter! Wish her luck 🐷

Sugar wishes yinz a happy $5 Friday! Can you help us pay her vet bill? ➡️ bit.ly/supportPSR

Yesterday, Sugar and Daisy went to the vet to get spayed. While loading, unloading, and prepping a 340lb pig for surgery was a much bigger ordeal... Sugar's spay was routine 😅 Sugar, formerly Inosuke, arrived here just before Halloween after her owners dumped her on our friend. The owners had been hiding her from their landlord and was discovered after a minor house fire. Sugar was morbidly obese, intact, and had severe mobility issues from an old untreated injury. 6 months of diet and love, she was finally ready for her spay.

Our friends at The Bitch Barn (momma to former Squealers Helen and Piggly Puff) fell in love with Sugar after meeting months ago. Now, this sweet babe will be heading to her forever home next weekend!

Sugar's vet bill is $414. Spaying and neutering in our single biggest expense at the rescue, followed by feed, medicine, and transport costs. Please consider sending us some "sugar" to help us cover this big bill.

You can donate through this post or via PayPal, CashApp, Zelle, Venmo, or by mailing a check: bit.ly/supportPSR. As always, we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization that is totally funded by supporters like you. Thoinks!

We love them so much and look forward to the day their fins their very own forever home. Apply to adopt this adorable pair today: bit.ly/PSRadopt #adoptus #adoptable #piggy #piggie #oink #minipig #animalrescue #animalsanctuary
