My story

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

This pig is the biggest mush in the entire world. All pigs love bellyrubs, but Tango has taken it a step further and figured out that basically no one can resist him if he just flops in front of them, demanding the bellyrub before you even have a chance to ask if he wants one.

He also does great with kids - not caring if they make loud and scary noises as long as he gets a belly rub in return for not caring.

He’s not particularly bonded to any of his siblings, but he and Sarge would make a perfect pair of pigs for a first time pig owner! They’re both absolute sweethearts who just love being with people.

Tango is litter box trained, so he would do well as an indoor or outdoor pig and so would any of the rest of his family!

If you want to learn more about this family of piggies, or are interested in giving some of them a home, you can find all that on our website, waywardranch.org, or let us know if you have any questions! Tango is up to date on his vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.

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.
