GIVING LEVELS

Giving Levels

$2,400 Sponsor a month of feeding our residents

Good nutrition is essential for long lives. Over the last two years, we've been able to wok with a nutritionist at Purina to mill a balanced, custom recipe for our residents. Most commercially available pig food is designed for pigs to grow to be huge in size by just 6 months old - this is done with high protein content which degrades the renal system and inhibits longevity.

$1,700 Sponsor the average cost of a hospital stay

All of our residents are taken to Texas A&M's Veterinary Hospital where they receive care from some of the best pig doctors in the world. Care there is costly, but worth it. Hospital stays include imaging, bloodwork, overnight care and even holistic strategies like acupuncture.

$1,000 Hank-sized impact!

Contribute majorly to our needs with a general donation that will support the care of our residents.

$600 Sponsor a week of feeding our residents

$500 Rosie-sized impact!

Contribute majorly to our needs with a general donation that will support the care of our residents.

$400 Sponsor a hay restock

When the weather gets chilly, we fill our residents' cabins with hay so that they can stay cozy and snuggle with their friends. Pigs are homebodies and having a toasty home is essential to them. In the coldest months, we do a hay restock every week so the hay stays fluffy and lovely.

$200 Milo-sized impact!

Contribute majorly to our needs with a general donation that will support the care of our residents.

$100 Sponsor a week of supplements

With an aging population of residents, supplements are vital for managing signs of aging like arthritis and gastrointestinal sensitivity.

$50 Sponsor fencing materials

Assessing the needs of our residents sometimes requires pulling them out of their neighborhood for more focused surveillance. We are often building 'condos' for residents in need of temporary containment for medical needs. Materials like fence panels, t-posts, zip ties and crates are all essential to have at-the-ready!
