Ziggy’s Refuge

We could really use your prayers tonight. ❤️‍🩹 We don’t say this lightly… but we’re overwhelmed. This year has pushed Kristin and I further than we ever thought possible. Between the largest pig hoarding case in NC history, months of nonstop emergency medical care, over 110 surgeries in the past year, countless sleepless nights, and trying to save as many lives as we can… we’re exhausted. Emotionally. Physically. Financially. And tonight, our hearts are heavy. Buttercup is 13 years old. That’s a

4 months ago, when we first met Penny Lane, we truly didn’t think she would make it to the next day. We were terrified she wouldn’t survive the quarantine period, and we didn’t know if her fragile little body could even handle the short drive to our sanctuary. She was in such horrific condition that some people didn’t even recognize her as a pig. What we didn’t know then made it even more heartbreaking. The video clips we had of Penny Lane lying against the wall, looking completely defeated, wer

Hi frens… it’s Javy. 🥹🐾 Can you do me one teeny tiny favor? Would you make this little boy so, so happy by following my family’s Facebook page? We’re sooo close to 700,000 followers, and that would put us at 1 million friends across all our platforms! 🥹 If you could follow us and maybe even share this post… I’d be waggin’ my little tail so fast. 🥹❤️ Pwetty pwetty pwease? Love, Javy 🐾

There are bath days… and then there are family bath days. 🥹❤️ Every day, we give sweet Moko a bath to help keep him clean and comfortable. Today, while I was bathing Moko, our little rescue pugs decided they wanted to help too. Sploot immediately climbed up and started relentlessly licking Jay’s head and hair. 😂 Then Javy joined in, making sure his daddy’s face got a good cleaning too! So in this video, there are three bath givers… and two very loved bath receivers. 🛁🐑🐶 It’s moments like these t

We had to say goodbye to 5 more precious souls on their way to their forever homes. 5 pigs we have cried over. 5 pigs we have fought for. 5 pigs we have loved with our whole hearts for the last 4 months. When these babies came into our lives, they needed so much more than food and shelter. They needed medical care, patience, safety, and someone who refused to give up on them. We promised every single one of them that we would do everything in our power to help them not just survive, but truly th

Four months ago, Penny Lane was fighting for her life. She was nothing but skin and bones, too weak to stand, lying on the ground with little hope of surviving. She was one of the many innocent pigs rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding case, and seeing her that day was something we’ll never forget. Today… she’s unrecognizable. Penny Lane is healthy, strong, spayed, full of life, and somehow, despite everything she’s endured, she’s one of the sweetest souls we’ve ever had the privilege of knowin

Excuse me… the guest of honor has arrived. With my two bodyguards 😉 #AnimalLover #ZiggysRefuge #17thbirthday

Happy 17th Birthday, our sweet boy. Dear Ziggy, How do you even begin to thank someone who completely changed your life? Today we celebrated you the only way that felt right… with your royal birthday cape, your crown fit for a king, a watermelon birthday cake, and your very own red carpet leading to your royal swim. Because if anyone deserves to be treated like royalty, it’s you. But today isn’t just about another birthday. It’s about celebrating that you’re still here. Just over two years ago,

The moment we saw @Plumes serenading the hippos, we knew we had to make our own little version. 💚 If you haven’t seen his videos yet, you’re in for a treat. He travels the world sharing his incredible voice with animals, and watching their reactions is pure magic. There’s just something so peaceful and beautiful about the connection he creates through music. So we borrowed the inspiration and paired his beautiful music with some of our favorite moments of our rescued pigs enjoying the lazy river

Moko hasn’t been mobile in years. And now everything has changed😭🙏👏 Moko is a 7 year old disabled sheep and he is DRIVING an electric wheelchair and he’s steering with a joystick!!! 🤯 Our God daughter, Kiki who is also an immobile sheep at @dontforgetuspetus is a beautiful trailblazer that mapped the way for our precious little boy. Today there are 2 sheep on earth that drive a motorized vehicle better than I do. And I really can’t handle it. Who thinks we need to have a Kiki and Moko play dat

**A Night Dedicated to Journey’s Happiness** We really wanted to go live tonight and connect with all of you, but our baby boy Journey didn’t get his swim in earlier, and we knew we couldn’t let him miss out. Fulfilling our promises to our babies is the most important thing, so tonight, the pool took priority. We have so much to share with you all, and we hope to go live tomorrow night instead. For us, every day is about 16 hours of hard work, but when it comes to making sure Journey is happy, w

Happy New Year AND Happy Birthday to the cutest 5 year old twins in the entire world!! #facts #ziggysrefuge #rescueanimals #viraltiktok #animalsoftiktok #KAYKissCountdown #farmanimalsanctuary #viralvideo #fyp #housesheep
