Waffles We-Tweet Animal Sanctuary

Waffles We-Tweet Animal Sanctuary We are a disabled veteran and woman owned 501C3 non-profit animal sanctuary focused on helping pigs/ We were so stupid. We were heart broken.

Our journey with pigs started in 2018 with Wilber, Wendy, and Winifred, three managalitsa pigs, a dream of being homesteaders, and a desire to teach our kids how to reconnect to a life so disconnected from everything. Not long after came a whole herd of piglets, all having names that started with 'W' (you wouldn't believe how hard that was). We had no clue what we were actually doing. What we do k

now is that somewhere along the way, we absolutely fell in love with those fuzzy babies. How we ever could have thought we would go through with it is beyond me. Anyways, one piglet by the name of Waffles became sick. Jon took him to the vet where they treated him and sent him home. Please keep in mind, we didn't know then what we know now. We didn't realize that people took their pigs to hospitals or that there was this great wise Cat Drose out there and who the heck was Mo??? We cleaned out the heated tack room that Jon used as a wood working shop and kept him in there. He'd get better for a few days and reek absolute havoc on the shop only to crash to the brink of death. This went on for weeks, until weeks became a month with countless trips and communications with the vet. Nothing we did fixed our poor little Waffles. We sat with him for hours, feeling like we were neglecting everyone else. Then came the day we knew in our hearts was coming. Jon took Waffles to vet and his breathing was the worst it had been yet. Waffles didn't even make it half way through the trip. We'd be lying if we said this day didn't have a profound impact on either of us. Neither of us can talk about it without getting emotional. What lead us to start our sanctuary is having to rehome that herd of pigs that we loved so much. We are forever grateful for the homes and love that they have. We tried so hard to keep them, but were just not able. Two of Wilber and Wendy's piglets went to Barn Sanctuary, Johnny and CJ, and it is our experience with them and Bruno's Barn that helped us make our decision to one day have a sanctuary. We knew in our hearts that we needed to honor the special boy that impacted us so much. Waffles' food bowl hangs in our bathroom, his hoof print hangs on the pig room wall, and his ashes are on Jon's desk. He's with us every day. That is why we call our Sanctuary, Waffle We-Tweet (retreat, Elmer Fudd voice)

Wittles wore himself out last night 🌙

Getting Wittles moved proved to be harder than expected for Donna and I. Our final method included half a plastic crate and the tractor pulling a dump trailer. Donna drove and I walked along side the wagon to ensure Wittles stayed put. I wish one of us had had our camera because this boy acted like he was in a parade. He actively took in all the scenery and seemed to enjoy the ride....it was absolutely adorable 😍 The other parts of his move weren't quite as comfortable 🥺 so Wittles got some pain meds before bed and slept like a Champ.

Wittles will get a couple days to recuperate before starting in the wheelchair ♿️ Then we roll!!

✨️We're at $55 dollars for our Wittles and Summer Prep Fund Raiser ✨️ Thank you Mark and Tina 💙 I could really use some help to make the Special Needs Yard perfect for Wittles to safely run around in his wheelchair 🙏 Would you like to be a part of Wittles getting back on his feet? 💙

Mr. Cletus was seriously displeased by his lack of grazing opportunities. He just stood there and kept looking at me like I could just clean it up. Trust me Cletus, I'm right there with you.
