Introducing the Silver Swine Nine

We are thrilled to introduce you to the Silver Swine Nine, a group of nine lovable, unique pigs who have captured our hearts. Each pig has their own story, a journey that has led them to Silver Swine Farm, where they found safety, love, and care. Soon, they will be joining us at Wildlings Forest Animal Sanctuary, and we can't wait to welcome them into our family. Get to know each of these amazing pigs below:

RUPERT: The gentle giant and everyone's favorite pig. He's the oldest and top pig, and shares a special bond with Pearl.
PEARL: A sweet and talented pig with a superpower – she can spin in circles on command!
BUZZY: The brave underdog (or underpig) with a limp, but a heart full of love and determination.
BELLE: Silver Swine Farm's most recent rescue, soon to join our family and start a new life at Wildlings Forest.
JACK: The house pig who outgrew his welcome. After five years, his original family realized a full-size pig indoors wasn't working.
LULU: A pig full of personality who always has a lot to say. She's the life of the party!
WALTER: The OG rescue, found starving in a pet store alongside a capybara. Now he's healthy and thriving!
BENTLEY: The not-so-teacup pig, whose unexpected growth spurt surprised a teenager who thought they were getting a tiny piglet.
HANK: The joyful jumper who leaps for joy at the first sign of treats. His enthusiasm is contagious!

A Barn to Call Home

The Silver Swine Nine will soon find their forever home at Wildlings Forest Animal Sanctuary, but they need your help. We must raise $50,000 to build a comfortable and safe barn for our new piggy family members. A new barn will not only provide shelter but will also create a space where they can grow, play, and live out their days in happiness and comfort.

Building a Future – The Costs of the Barn

Here is a breakdown of the estimated costs to build the new barn for the Silver Swine Nine:

Site preparation (clearing, leveling, and grading): $3,500
Concrete slab foundation: $7,000
Framing materials and labor: $15,000
Roofing materials and labor: $8,000
Siding materials and labor: $5,500
Insulation and interior finishing: $4,000
Electrical and plumbing installation: $3,000
Fencing and gates: $2,000
Contingency fund (unexpected expenses): $2,000

Total: $50,000
