Windy's is an all volunteer 501.c.3 established in 2009, focused on creating a better {rest of} life, in a safe place for pot belly pigs and a few other species too. With the help of our volunteers, we try and educate everyone we can about the MINI PIG LIE.
We are a pig sanctuary, however, we cannot take in every pig someone has purchased

We are a pig sanctuary, however, we cannot take in every pig someone has purchased but no longer fits in their life... PLEASE, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Is a pig right for your life? The answer is: probably not. Pigs live into their twenties, they require regular vet visits, hoof trims, and annual shots, lots of feed and lots of room... they naturally get BIG! If you do not have the ability to transport the pig safely and comfortably, you should not get a pig! Try fostering a pig first, see if it can work, PLEASE do not purchase a piglet!!!!

Did you believe the breeder? Did you buy a piglet during an impulse move? Did you think you were saving a precious baby pig? Did you have a pig "dumped" on you?
DO YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE????
Just ask Siri or Google or your Aunt Mable:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TINY MINI PIXIE FULL GROWN PIG.
If you feed it.... IT WILL GROW
And you MUST feed

Starting January 2021 Windy's must impose a $500 relinquishment fee, NO MATTER the reason that you can no longer keep your pig, and please, feel free to give more if you are able. A lot of pigs are dumped young, and they live into their twenties, so between feed and vet care it could thousands of dollars to keep your pig for its lifetime.

Donate Now
It is most important to us that you know that 100% of your donation goes directly to the fund for the rescued critters, for their feed, many different forms of shelter, and basic and advanced vet care.
The calls and emails for help, for animals left in backyards, found in the streets or left at a park, and those who are looking to "rehome" their unknowing pets, can be financially overwhelming to any small local rescue.
Each animal requires an initial health wellness check up, most of the time, the pet requires sterilization, shots, and minor additional care such as hoof trims, tusk trims, treating skin conditions, and starting proper feeding regiments.
We ask pig parents wanting to rehome their pet pig, to find ways to make it work, pigs are sentient beings who become very attached to their family. Those who cannot afford medical care, or need assistance with vet bills, as long that help allows the pet to stay in their home, we will gladly help however we can.
So, please rest assured, in the case of Windy's Ranch & Rescue... ANY help from you really does help a pet directly.
We do not sensationalize sad stories and will never use an animal to get you to donate; what we do, every day and every night of the year tells you all need to know about the care and needs of these very special rescued animals.
Thank you sincerely, for considering Windy's Ranch & Rescue as a nonprofit you can donate to.
