Sponser a sanctuary animal

Hammy was found roaming the streets in a nearby city in December 2016.  He went to the humane society. They contacted Serenity Woods Farm for foster. After the 7 day hold, he officially became the first rescue at the sanctuary. Hammy had indentions all around his belly like something had been wrapped around him his whole little life. He was about 6 months old when he came to the sanctuary. He and Bacon had a fence between them for a few months so that they could get to know each other. One day, we had someone working in the yard and he left the gate open! You've heard the saying "live like someone left the gate open"? Well Hammy did. He went out exploring and it wasn't long until Bacon and Hammy became the best of friends. Hammy came to the sanctuary on December 9, 2016. 

Bacon was the first pig I owned. I bought him from a flea market. I fell in love with him at first site. I picked him up from the pack and play that he was in, held him up close to me, and he went to sleep. I couldn't put him down after that! I had been reading a lot about taking care of pigs but when we got home that day, Bacon and I snuggled up on the bed and I spent a few hours reading more about them. That is when I learned that 4 weeks old was too young for a piglet to be separated from its mommy. I became his new mommy that day. He slept in the bed with me and never even had a accident.  I brought Bacon home on August 27, 2016. 

Valentine came from the county animal shelter. He was one day old when I picked him up. I was in Walmart when I got the call about him. I went ahead a grabbed some milk replacer and rice cereal. We believe that the rest of his litter mates was accidentally killed by mommy rolling over onto them, which isn't uncommon. Valentine lived in the house for the first few months. I fed him with a syringe around the clock. It's not good to let a baby pig drink from a bottle as they are more prone to aspiration. When he was a little older, I moved him outside to the barn. He had goat roommates and he's also had a piggy roommate but Valentine does not like any roommates except for chickens. Which is uncommon for pigs as they usually like to sleep with and be around other pigs. Valentine also doesn't like to be wet, mud holes, or wallowing. He came home on February 13, 2017, hence his name. 

Chomper came to Serenity Woods Farm on March 6, 2020 from Defuniak Springs, FL. He had been left at a residence with hardly no shelter or food. He was not neutered and was aggressive. Hence, the name Chomper! Everytime I went out to feed him, I would have to use a sorting board to keep between me and him. I quickly had him neutered and his personality changed very soon after that. Today, he is a big teddy bear who loves to be loved on. 

Wilbur Bacon Lynn had escaped his owners fence and was roaming the streets in a nearby city. He was brought to the vet clinic by another rescue on January 30, 2024. He was not neutered yet. Upon finding and contacting his owner, his owner decided that she was not able to care for him anymore due to health issues. His previous owner named him Wilbur Bacon Lynn and Lynn was a family name. He kept his name since it was special to his previous owner. He officially came to the sanctuary on February 13, 2024.
