Hi, I’m Anna

During a harsh February winter in 2019, two tiny piglets were loaded onto a transport truck bound for a finishing farm to be fattened up for slaughter. When the truck arrived at its destination, the two piglets were frozen to the side of the truck and appeared immobile. They were assumed to be dead.

The man unloading the truck took pity on these two piglets and brought them into his home to try to warm them up. Thankfully, the two piglets became responsive, so the man continued to nurse them back to health and called us to provide them with a forever home.

The two sisters, Anna and Elsa, grew up in a loving and safe environment at the sanctuary, but Anna was much more shy as a piglet. She always stood behind her courageous sister Elsa and avoided human touch. However, as she grew, she became more trusting of the humans who had befriended her.

Anna is kind and independent. She is very affectionate toward her sister Elsa and best friend Ty and enjoys cuddle time with them both. She will come say hello and roll over for belly rubs, but she won’t spend too much time with a human when she could be playing or rooting with her pig friends instead.
