Longmeadow Rescue Ranch Update
Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is going to the pigs. You hear all kinds of noises when you’re at the Ranch in Union, Missouri. Horses whinny, cows moo, and roosters crow. The one sound you can’t miss is the oinking of more than 100 potbellied pigs. Where did all those pigs come from? In July, the Humane Society of Missouri rescued 35 little oinkers and 32 other farm animals from a property in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri. They were living in unsanitary conditions without adequate shelter and very little food.

Several of the rescued pigs were pregnant. A month later, 74 piglets were born at the ranch.

Today, the potbellied pigs and piglets are ready for new homes. “They are becoming friendlier, but it is hard to give individual attention to so many,” says Earlene Cole, Director of Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. “They really deserve a home after all they’ve been through.”

The Ranch staff and volunteers are working hard to socialize all the animals in their care. A lot of these little pigs are ready and waiting for a new forever family to adopt them. Click here to learn more about the animals available for adoption at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch.
