Its Pig Christmas ; the piggy angels are gathering their gifts

*****************************************

Our Piggy Angel Tree

Engelschwein, our original name,  means Angel Pig. So its only right that we have an Angel Tree for them at Christmas time.

Be an angel to one of our pigs this year and each one will have a feast at Pig Christmas.

Every year at noon on the 26th of December, our pigs get an all they can eat catered buffet by friends from all over.. We dice and slice and cook and chop and haul the foods to them by the 5 gallon container and they eat until they cannot eat another bite,  Its their favorite day of the year.. and ours!!

Join us this year ; in person or in spirit .. and share the joy of giving

 

Just choose a name off the Angel tree list below and click on the PayPal button to make your gift of any amount..  Just $5 gives him all he can eat of everything we can think of !       Enter the name of the piggy when you get to the PayPal screen

  As I see this  list of the abandoned, abused and unwanted scroll before me , recalling each of their sad stories, it makes me sad to know how little the world cares for its wee pigs, but then I recall that every year you sponsors bring a day of unrivaled joy to their lives, and I know they have not been forgotten. Some of these pigs have been here in the sanctuary for 14 to 15 years.. others, only a few weeks.. Bless you all for your help to bring them all a day of joy on Dec 26th..

 

Our 2004 Piggy List

Just pick one (or more!)  to sponsor  by PayPal or by check and we will remove him/her from the "hopeful list" and add him to the "chosen" list.. We hope to see all piggies picked by Dec 25th!!

The Feed Bank

 

Nothing Makes a Merrier Christmas for the Sanctuary than to know we have ample feed reserved in our Feed Bank to last the long winter.. If prices go up or calamity occurs, they are protected.

Please support our Feed bank

During the winter months we use 3 tons per month of regular piggy feed and lots of Mazuri for the elders and rehabbing and babies, so every year we have a feed bank drive to help us raise that extra feed money.

The Feed Bank Drive  will run through the month  of January

To date (12/18/04) we have had 2 tons donated.. thanks so much

Please help with our feed drive..  its our most important event of the year ..

To add some feed to our bank simply  call Mike at  Putnam Farm Supply at  931-526-6666

He will be glad to take your credit card over the phone and put feed into our bank.  Your generosity this year will help us through another long winter.  

 a ton of pig feed   $ 270     (we will use 13 tons from Dec - March)   ****   a bag of pig feed  $ 6.75 (that's 480 bags!)

a bag of Mazuri feed $9  ( babies, elders, rehabs  and special care) ( 39 bags)
