🌼 Calling all Dandelions! 🐷💛

We are beyond excited and incredibly honoured to share that Hope Swinimer has invited us to be an exhibitor at Hope for Wildlife’s Annual Open House!

We’ll be bringing some of our amazing pigs, and we would absolutely love to see as many of our Dandelions there as possible. If you’ve ever wanted to meet us, learn more about our rescue, or simply spend a fun afternoon surrounded by incredible animals and wildlife supporters, this is the perfect opportunity!

A huge thank you to Hope and the entire Hope for Wildlife team for including us in such a wonderful event. We can’t wait to see familiar faces and meet new friends!

A very important reminder for all pig owners… ❤️

Please, if you have a female pig, consider having her spayed.

Female pigs are unfortunately at a very high risk of developing serious reproductive diseases, including uterine infections and uterine cancer. These conditions often show very few signs until they become life-threatening, and by then, it can progress incredibly fast.

We recently lost one of our beloved pigs, Odin, to a severe uterine infection. Within just a matter of days, the infection spread beyond her uterus, causing sepsis and infecting her bloodstream. Despite everything we could do and all the love we gave her, her little body simply couldn’t overcome it.

Our hearts are broken.

We share this not to scare anyone, but because if Odin’s story can save even one pig’s life, then her legacy will live on in a meaningful way.

Spaying isn’t just about preventing unwanted litters. it’s about protecting their health and giving them the best chance at a long, happy life.

Please speak with your veterinarian about the best time to have your pig spayed. It could be one of the most important decisions you ever make for them.

Run free, sweet Odin. You will always be loved, and we hope your story helps protect so many others. ❤️🐷

To our dear family, friends, and supporters of Dandelion Acres 💛

We’re reaching out with during a really difficult time. Caring for our animals is always our top priority, but right now we’re facing a past-due veterinary bill that we’re struggling to catch up on, and until we are fully paid, we are unable to get new care for our animals.

Anyone who knows us, knows that we never like asking for financial support, but this is about the animals and not human pride.
If you’re in a position to help—whether through a donation, sharing this post, or simply sending kind thoughts—we would be so deeply grateful. There is absolutely no pressure; your support in any form means the world to us and to the animals in our care.

Thank you for always standing beside us and believing in what we do. 🐾🌼
