My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sarge came to us with his momma Juliet, sisters Charlie and Delta, and brothers Rambo, Tango, and Romeo, as owner surrenders when their family’s fencing could not properly contain them. However with proper fencing and adequate space, they are quite happy staying where they're supposed to be on the farm!

Sarge is an incredibly sweet and bold little boy! He is a little momma’s boy and so followed closely behind as she got more comfortable with humans. Now he comes right on up to any visiting humans or dogs and says hello through the fence. If people come to hang out with him he is the happiest boy ever and enjoys showing off that he knows how to sit on command (especially if you have a treat)!

This whole litter is litter box trained, so they would have an easy transition to a new home as indoor or outdoor pigs!

If you are interested in adopting Sarge or any of his siblings, the first step would be to fill out an adoption application on our website, waywardranch.org or reach out if you have any questions!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
