Welcome to Piggy Paradise at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

The pigs at Marshall's Piggy Paradise take character to a whole new level. Their grunting, snorting and wallowing, signs that they are happy and content, combine with their wonderful personalities to make them truly lovable. Meet some of our residents and see for yourself.
To adopt a pig from the Sanctuary, check out a list of our adoptable pigs here: bestfriends.org/adopt/adopt-o...

What a wonderful place! I love pigs. I do not eat pork. Keep it up Best Friends. You are doing a great job--God's work.

Recently I had a chance to snuggle a tiny potbellied pig, four days old. She absolutely loved being held and snuck under my jacket for the warmth and I assume my heart beat. I wish I could have taken her home.

[@BestFriendsVideos]

Aw, so sweet!

[@mckennarossi]

These pigs are God's gift to the World. God Bless all animals!

Best Friends rocks!!! Thank you for taking such excellent care of these loving animals!

[@amyralls6218]

I wish I lived closer to any of the Best Friends locations! Everything you folks do is so wonderful to all these animals in need! I first learned about this sanctuary was back when Best Friends took in all those Michael Vick fighting dogs. From that moment, I have done my best to make a donation, make a purchase from your "store", and or encourage others to do so at the very least once a year...more if I can!! Thank you for everything you have been and continue to do for all the animals in need!

[@BestFriendsVideos]

Amy, thank you for your kind words, compassion and generosity 🧡 Together we will Save Them All!

[@karenzorn773]

Animals are wonderful! Thank you Best Friends for all you do!

[@lynnhunovice1085]

Best friends is always so uplifting I love that you focus on the “good news” rather than showing horrors and cruelty. I’m already acutely aware of those things but want to focus on creating new possibilities of love and kindness

[@BestFriendsVideos]

You are so kind, thank you for supporting us!

[@emailaccount7628]

Wonderful!! Now if only people would stop eating them.

[@BestFriendsVideos]

[@lindasarli3029]

Wonderful wonderful. Heartfelt thank you for all you do. Happy snorting !

[@BestFriendsVideos]

Thank you!

[@sandyspringer2903]

This is so cute. Thank you for sharing. I love any animal and love what you are doing to help them all, one animal at a time.😊😊😊 I have been doing animal rescue for over 30 years and have wanted with my best friend, come visit and work with all of you to care for all the animals you have rescued and found loving homes for. And the ones that are still waiting for one, you care for them with so much love and compassion. I live in CT and know a few people that have come to work with you and have come back home with a “new” member of the family. Sorry to say the trip my friend had planned isn’t going to happen. My friend passed from a long battle with cancer and I’m not able to get around very well because of Parkinson’s, but I’m trying to support you with donations. I wish we didn’t procrastinate, but just so you know, we both have only adopted animals and if it wasn’t for our husbands we would have adopted many more at the same time. My husband tells everyone if something happened to him, I would have my own shelter right on our property which also be a “no kill”. Keep up the good work and I’m going to keep up the donations. I still hope to make my Bucket List dream to visit you and with my husband; I’m an optimist and refuse to stop trying to help all the animals in need. We have to be their voice and fight for all of them. Keep up your great work with doing just that.🐶🐱🐷🐴🫏🐇🐑 If I missed any of your rescues I’m sorry, I know you help them all. Like James Harriot said “ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL 👍👍👍👍

[@philtoro9199]

I am so worried about the maltreatment and inhumane farming practices in our country. Learning about this sanctuary was a much needed positive reminder that there are wonderful people in the world who do care and want to effectuate change. Lisa C. from your first Best Friends Insight Panel 💕🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕

[@BestFriendsVideos]

A long-time dream was to visit Best Friends--I had reserved some time with you several years ago, but broke my foot just before the trip and had to cancel. I truly love and admire all you do for all of the animals in your care as well as your outreach for animals in general!
