Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (3)
- $66,040 spent. Intake and care of over 50 rescued pigs and other animals including facilities and housing, care and feeding, and increasing medical needs. This is our primary purpose.
- $2,138 spent. Hosted and partnered with others to host 10 volunteer, education, and fundraising events for the public to raise awareness of pig and farm animal rescue and the numbers of surrendered, abandoned, and abused pigs that need help. 2025 was the first year of our Suds for Snouts benefit which brought our rescue front and center in the community and allowed us to reach an entirely new audience while raising much needed program funding. This will be our annual signature event.
- $972 spent. Provide transport services to other rescues and individuals that need to move pigs from rescue situations or just need help moving to a new location or for needed vet care. This program launched in 2023 and will continue to grow as we define needs and identify solutions. In 2025 we launched training and care consulting to help owners that think they need to rehome realize that keeping their pig may be possible which is our ultimate goal. We want to keep pigs in their homes!
