Overview
Mission
Flying Pigs Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit microsanctuary located at Lemon Lane Farm dedicated to assisting all animals in need with a focus on pigs injured by "flying" out of trucks. (Yes, it happens!) The sanctuary started because we have 3 pigs that jumped out of a truck (flew). Apparently, this is quite common. We provide care for animals healing from abuse, neglect, and injuries. At Flying Pigs Sanctuary, we believe that every creature deserves a happily ever after. And that's just what we give them!
What it reported doing in 2025
Herbie is the guiding spirit that has saved 75+ (45 residents + 30 others we have aided in finding forever homes or rehabbed to get back to nature) animals and we are just getting started!
