We’ve been busy since the moment our October 17 Love Unmasked Gala ended! Please stay tuned for highlights, thank-yous, and updates from this year’s celebration. ❤️

Melissa is also home after a three-day “hospital vacation” just kidding about the vacation part! She’s supposed to be resting and healing, so thank you for your patience as we catch up. 💕

📸 Gala pictures are arriving this weekend, and we’ll begin posting them as they come in!

Did you take a couples, group, friends, or solo photo on our special red carpet? If you’d like yours sent directly to you, please text Melissa at 810-751-0201 with your name and who was in the picture.

We can’t wait to share these memories with you. Thank you for being part of our story and supporting Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary! 🐷❤️

🐷 URGENT NEED: CAN YOU HELP US WITH A KENNEL? 🐷

We have a handful of pigs needing our help right now, and we’re doing everything we can to make things work for everyon especially the pigs waiting on us. ❤️

Pig City is almost finished, but their needs cannot wait. We need additional safe, separate space now, and we exhausted our kennel funds earlier this month.

We need TWO Retriever 10′ × 5′ kennels, but even ONE would make a big difference right now.

Could you donate one, or contribute toward purchasing one ASAP? A usable kennel you already own could help, too!

🛒 The kennel we need:

🐷❤️ ORRISON NEEDS A NEW BEGINNING AND SOMEONE IN HIS CORNER. THIS SITUATION IS URGENT & HEARTBREAKING....

This handsome big boy lost his human dad just this past weekend. His human mom is grieving and must move in with family, but sadly, Orrison cannot go with her.

He is currently an indoor pet pig, and his family’s world has changed so quickly. His mom is facing heartbreaking decisions while trying to find him a safe place to call home.

We hope to welcome Orrison to Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary, but we need support to make that possible. Because of these circumstances, we don’t yet know exactly when he will need to move, so we’re reaching out now to prepare.

❤️ Would you consider sponsoring Orrison? A monthly sponsorship or a one-time gift toward his feed, shelter, and care would help us provide the new beginning he deserves.

📍 To protect his family’s privacy, we are keeping his current location private.

💚 Help support Orrison here: https://rootedinloverescue.org/donate/

Please message us if you would like to become his sponsor, and share his story to help us reach someone willing to stand beside him.

His family is facing a painful goodbye. Together, we can give Orrison a safe place to land. 🐷❤️

🐷❤️ FIVE PIGS. ONE FAMILY. HELP US KEEP THEM TOGETHER.

Prudence, Phoebe, Luceille, Pierre, and Piper need a sanctuary home because severe life changes are displacing them from their family.

They can remain at their current home until it sells, but once it does, they must leave—and that time may be coming soon. We need your help preparing a place for all five at Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary.

They’re already facing the loss of the home they know. Our hope is to make sure they don’t lose one another, too. ❤️

We’re looking for helping hands and sponsors to provide:

🏡 A shelter large enough for all five to rest comfortably together.
🌾 Feed and ongoing daily care.
🐾 Farrier care to keep their hooves healthy and comfortable.
🛠️ Volunteers, materials, and practical help getting their space ready.

Could you sponsor one of these pigs, contribute toward their shelter or care, or lend a hand with preparations? Every bit of support helps us get ready before their moving day arrives.

💚 Donate here: https://rootedinloverescue.org/donate/

Please message us if you can help with supplies, sponsorship, or hands-on work. And please share this post—you may connect us with someone who can make a difference.

Their address has to change. With your help, their little family can stay together. 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

🐷🚨 HELP US BRING CALVIN & CLARA TO MICHIGAN! 🚨🐷

Several pigs need our help finding their way to Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary. Today, we’re asking you to help us make a plan for Calvin and Clara, two bonded senior pigs, ages 11 and 8, currently in Missouri.

Their family is originally from Michigan, and now these two sweet seniors need a safe place here where they can stay together and receive the care they need through their golden years. We’re ready to welcome them but we need help getting them here as soon as possible. ❤️

Here’s how you can help:

🚛 Help with the full trip: We’re looking for someone with suitable transportation for two pigs who could make the drive approximately 9 hours one way.

🤝 Help with a halfway pickup: Their human mom is exploring whether she can meet someone halfway. If that works out, we may need a volunteer willing to travel approximately 5 hours one way to meet them and bring Calvin and Clara to us.

❤️ Help fund their ride: Our favorite, wonderfully safe pig transporter can bring them here for $1,200. If we can raise that amount, we can secure their transportation with someone we trust.
https://rootedinloverescue.org/donate/

Can you drive, contribute toward their ride, or share this post to help us reach someone who can? Please message Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary with transport offers or to find out how to contribute toward Calvin and Clara’s trip.

Two bonded seniors. One safe destination. A community that can help close the distance. 🐷🐷❤️

Let’s bring Calvin and Clara home to the sanctuary together.

❤️ A LITTLE UPDATE

For those of you who have been following along, especially since our gala, I wanted to take a moment to share a little update and let everyone know what's happening behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, life has thrown me a bit of a curveball, and I will be spending the next several days in the hospital.

Some of you may have seen me mention my toe recently, but to explain what happened, I sustained a pretty significant burn to my toe / foot. What initially seemed like something I could manage has turned into a much more serious situation than I anticipated. Between the severity of the burn, concerns about healing, and the additional complications involved, I am now facing several days of hospital care and some additional care and recovery once I'm released.

As much as I would love to keep pushing through everything as I normally do, this is one of those times when I have to slow down and allow others to step in.
If there's one thing most of you know about me, it's that I am usually available almost instantaneously. Whether it's answering messages, returning calls, coordinating animal needs, arranging pickups, or working on one of our many ongoing projects, I do everything I can to make things happen as quickly as possible.
That's simply how I've always operated, and it's a huge part of how we've been able to do what we do.
For the next week or so, things may look a little different.

With me temporarily out of commission, the rest of my crew will be picking up the pieces and filling in wherever I'm unable to be. That means messages may take a little longer to answer, calls may not be returned as quickly, and some appointments, projects, pickups, and other arrangements may need to be scheduled a little further out than we're accustomed to.
I do have my computer and phone with me in the hospital, so who knows? Maybe I'll end up getting more work done than I expect! 😂❤️ But I also have to be realistic about the fact that I need to focus on getting better.

In the meantime, if you need to reach the rescue, you can text or call our rescue barn number at:
📱 810-751-0201

We appreciate your patience and understanding as everyone works together to keep things moving.

🎃🍂 IMPORTANT: PLEASE KEEP SHARING OUR POSTS! 🍂🎃
OUR NEEDS HAVE NOT CHANGED! EVERYTHING IS STILL GOING!
Please continue sharing our posts about pumpkins, donations, supplies, animal needs, and everything else!
We are still accepting calls, still working to help, and still moving forward with everything we have going on. The only difference right now is that I may not be able to respond, coordinate, or make arrangements as quickly as I normally would.
Please don't stop reaching out, and please don't stop sharing our needs! Every share, donation, and helping hand makes a difference for the animals who depend on us.

We wanted to share this update because transparency has always been important to us. We want our supporters and community to understand what's happening behind the scenes, why things may move a little slower temporarily, and why you might not see as many updates as usual.

🐷🏡 NOW, FOR A LITTLE PIG CITY UPDATE!
We are currently sitting at approximately 90% COMPLETION OF PIG CITY! 🎉❤️

We are SO close to getting those final details in place and beginning to move all of our pigs into their new home. This project has been moving at an incredible pace, and we have been working so hard to get everything ready for them.
The most recent photo I shared yesterday of the gates will likely be our last major progress update for about a week.
It's not the delay we wanted, especially when we were SO close to the finish line! We were roaring through this project and getting closer every day to seeing our pigs move into their new home.
But sometimes life has other plans, and we have to adjust.
We may be moving a little slower for the next week or so, but we're not stopping. ❤️🐷
Rooted In Love is a family, and just like any family, sometimes unexpected things happen.
We do our very best to be there whenever someone needs us, and we will continue to do that to the best of our ability. Right now, I just need a little time to get through this, receive the care I need, and get back on my feet.

Thank you for giving us a little grace while we navigate this unexpected bump in the road.

Melissa ❤️

🐷🏙️ ONE FINAL CALL FOR OUR PIG CITY SPONSORS! 🏙️🐷

❤️ WE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE, BUT WE STILL NEED YOU! ❤️

Here at Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary, our Pig City project is underway, and we are approximately THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WAY COMPLETED! We have been working hard to create this space for our beloved pig residents, and we are so excited to see this vision becoming a reality.

But now, we need to reach out one final time to our community, supporters, and animal lovers to ask for help bringing this project across the finish line!

🐷 HERE'S WHERE WE STAND:

🏙️ 25 individual pens in Pig City
❤️ Only 4 pen sponsors secured so far
🔨 Approximately 75% of the project completed
🙏 Still seeking several more sponsors to help us finish strong!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PIG CITY SPONSORS!

We're looking for individuals, families, and businesses who would like to sponsor an individual pig pen or contribute toward a portion of our Pig City build.

Whether you'd like to sponsor an entire pen or participate at one of the other sponsorship levels, there is an opportunity to be part of this project. The available sponsorship levels are listed in the photo attached to this post.

Every sponsorship helps us move closer to completing Pig City and providing our pigs with the space and setup we are working so hard to create for them. These projects take an incredible amount of time, labor, materials, and financial support, and we cannot do it alone.

❤️ WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO STOP NOW!

We are reaching out one final time because we know there are people out there who care deeply about animals and may want to leave a lasting mark on something meaningful.

Imagine being able to say you helped build Pig City! 🐷🏙️ Your sponsorship will be part of a project that directly supports the animals who call our sanctuary home.

If you've been thinking about getting involved, THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO JUMP IN AND HELP US FINISH WHAT WE STARTED!

📲 INTERESTED IN BECOMING A PIG CITY SPONSOR?

Text Melissa at 810-751-0201 or send us a private message right here through our page.

Please take a look at the sponsorship levels in the photo, and reach out if you'd like to claim a pen or participate in the build!

And even if sponsoring isn't possible for you right now, please SHARE this post. You never know who in your circle might be the person who helps us reach our goal!

🐷❤️ 25 PENS. A DREAM IN PROGRESS. A COMMUNITY THAT CAN HELP US FINISH IT.

Let's get Pig City across the finish line together!

With love and gratitude,

Rooted In Love Rescue & Sanctuary
Rescue. Compassion. A lifetime of love. 🐾
