Ty was rescued from a transport trailer on its way to a growing facility in Iowa. He was a lucky piglet the night his rescuer took pity on him, brought him home and called then called Barn Sanctuary.
We found out quickly, after bringing him to his forever home at the sanctuary, that falling in love with Ty is inevitable. As a young piglet, Ty was a bundle of cuddles and affection. He loves being around people and would crawl into anyone’s lap for snuggles. From his first day at the sanctuary, Ty is a calm and kind-hearted pig. His first few weeks in Barns care he spent it at our Executive Director’s house with a baby goat Lola, getting bottle-fed every four hours until he was ready to relocate to the sanctuary where he met Elsa and Anna — his new best friends.
Ty eventually grew up to be an independent pig, who no longer seeks human affection. He spends his time with his pig besties, Elsa and Anna. The three of them have been caught snuggling one another. Ty still loves a belly rub and face massage from his humans and you can find him grazing, rooting and playing in the pasture.
