Good morning Okanagan friends!
Did you know that pumpkins are a superfood for pigs and this is their favourite time of year! We are gratefully accepting clean, unpainted pumpkins for the residents at Little Oink Bank Pig Sanctuary here in Oliver. If you would like to collect, I can accept them in town, or we can make arrangements for pick up. Thank you from all the residents!

Minerva has never done anything wrong in her life and is not in any way a little brat, if you even care.

1000lbs of straw. Brought to each sleeping area by hand. When you donât have volunteers itâs no small feat, and your âdays offâ arenât really days off. đ

SweetPea and Dobby are brother and sister. Can you see the family resemblance? They do share a love of treats.

Itâs that time of year again friends, when weâre looking to stock up on extra straw (and hay!). We are needing to keep everyone warm and well fed as the colder weather approaches. Since this adds an extra $400 to our expenses every two weeks, itâs just Ron and myself, we appreciate all the help we can get.
Please consider a tax deductible donation to [email protected] or via our CanadaHelps page.
Thank you for helping us get ready for winter!

Ronâs notorious for sending me terrible pictures. But this one made me instantly happy and Iâll tell you why.
The red arrow is Daphne. She has lost two of her very best friends when Ellie, and then Baker passed away. Now sheâs a cuddly frenemy with Frank, but the true love story is behind the blue arrow.
That weird little brown blob (this pic was taken from 100 feet away and through a screened window by the way) is a local stray kitty we have named âWillardâ, who is absolutely in love with Daphne and comes by every single day to cuddle with her and follow her around.
Species doesnât matter to them, and it shouldnât matter to us. Love is love is love is love. đ

Momo and Millie came to us together several years ago. They have other pals, but it still makes me happy to see them hang out.
Moving the cowboys to a different field. Theyâre big boys. They eat a LOT.Alonso was just two days old when we rescued him. Ron carried him out of the truck where he rode home with us. Can you imagine trying that now?

Pepper and Moo. I love their love story. Pepper had refused to join the âhouse herdâ (when we had one), and was all alone in her mind. Then Moo came along and said, âOh no, youâre with meâ. And theyâve been inseparable ever since.

Frank, once again, proving the undisputed fact that PIGS LOVE TARPS!
The Three Little Pigs
It all started with a piglet named Matilda. We loved her to the moon and back and we did what any good pig parent did: researched with others who knew potbelly pigs, read up, found a VeryGoodVet and took her in to get spayed. Unfortunately potbelly pigs sometimes have very bad reactions to anesthesia and despite the VeryGoodVetâs very best efforts, Tilly died. It was like the air and light left our world. We missed our Tilly every day. Then when the hole in our lives grew bigger than the hole in our hearts, we decided to adopt instead.
We found a mother and two daughters in need of a rehome and they came to us on March 25, 2018. We were so happy when we got Momma, Bear and SweetPea. They were terrified, but eventually we had them demanding treats and belly rubs. What we didn't know was they came from a breeder who decided to dump them and all three were pregnant! Three little pigs became 18 pigs in the course of a month and a half! We briefly considered selling the piglets, but through our research we learned that 90% of potbelly pigs are rehomed, abandoned or worse. We knew we had to keep them. It was then we decided to become a forever home to pigs in need. Since then we have become a non-profit society in the province of BC and are working toward federal charity status. We have also grown to 34 pigs and counting, four calves, three sheep, and several kitties and pups, who now have a loving and safe forever home.
We strive to provide transport to other sanctuaries around Western Canada for all animals in need and truly believe we are #strongertogether .
