Sanctuary Expansion

Building Pig City in 2026

Pig City is an important expansion of Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary designed to help us safely care for rescued pigs at every stage of their journey.

These dedicated spaces will support pigs needing quarantine, medical recovery, senior care, safe introductions, and permanent sanctuary placement. They will help us provide individualized care while continuing to meet the daily needs of the 44 pet pigs who already call our sanctuary home.

Pig City Sponsor Benches

Custom park-style benches will be featured in the Pig City pasture. Our highest-level sponsors can personalize a bench with wording, memorial text, designs, or a theme of their choice.

Each bench will be finished in a stained color and will create a lasting place of comfort, remembrance, and community within Pig City.
