🌸 Spring Into Hope: Our Biggest Rescue Mission Yet 🌸

At Layla's Rescue Ranch, every rescue begins with a promise — that no pig will go without safety, comfort, medical care, or love.

This spring, we are launching the most ambitious fundraiser in our history with one enormous goal:

🐽 Help Us Raise $60,000 for the Future of Our Sanctuary 🐽

Since we recently relocated to this new location, we are just getting our sanctuary set up in every way possible to allow us to maintain the best quality of care for our residents. We have the open acres but need to invest in infrastructure to get the animals set up properly.

This project is not about luxury.
It is about creating a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future for the pigs who call our sanctuary home — and the many more who will need us in the years ahead.

Every improvement we are planning directly impacts the daily care, safety, and quality of life of our residents.

🚰 Phase One: Running Water Throughout the Sanctuary

Right now, we are carrying water across 6-acres every single day.

In the heat of summer, freezing winter temperatures, storms, and mud — water still has to reach every pig. It is exhausting, time-consuming, and incredibly difficult during emergencies or extreme weather.

Our goal is to install:

Frost-proof water access throughout all pig areas
Eight brand-new water hydrants
Replacement of an old leaking hydrant
Approximately 900 + feet of 4 foot trenching

This project would allow us to provide:

Clean, reliable water access year-round
Quicker daily pool refills to prevent overheating
Safer winter care during freezing temperatures
Faster emergency response for sick or injured pigs
Improved sanitation and easier enclosure cleaning
Better hydration for senior and special-needs pigs

Water is not optional in rescue work — it is one of the most critical daily necessities.

⚡ Phase Two: Bringing Electricity to the Fields

We are also working to install electricity throughout multiple areas of our property including approximately 1,200 feet of new wire to be run with a new breaker to be added

This would allow us to provide temperature-controlled shelter spaces year-round.

Why does this matter so much?

Pigs are extremely sensitive to temperature extremes. During brutal summers and freezing winters, proper shelter can literally save lives.

Adding electric access means we can:

Safely heat shelters during winter
Provide fans and cooling during dangerous summer heat
Improve care for senior & fragile pigs, piglets, and medical cases
Reduce risk of heat stress and hypothermia
Create safer quarantine and recovery spaces for rescues

This project would completely transform the level of care we can provide.

🌱 Expanding Pasture & Safer Sanctuary Spaces

We are also looking to:

Install second perimeter fencing for safer walkways throughout the property
Create multiple paddocks for rotational grazing
Expand usable pasture space for current and future rescues

Rotational grazing is incredibly important for pig sanctuaries because it:

Prevents land destruction and overgrazing
Helps control mud and erosion
Creates cleaner, healthier living conditions
Allows grass and soil time to recover naturally
Gives pigs enrichment through fresh rooting areas

The additional fencing and paddocks would also give us the opportunity to safely take in farm pig rescues when emergencies arise.

Right now, space limitations can make urgent rescue situations incredibly difficult. These improvements would allow us to say “yes” to more pigs in need.

🐷 Building a Future for Rescue

Every trench dug, every fence installed, every hydrant added, and every shelter powered will directly improve the lives of rescued pigs for years to come.

This fundraiser is about creating:

Better daily care
Safer living conditions
Emergency preparedness
Long-term sustainability
More opportunities to rescue pigs who have nowhere else to go

And we cannot do it without you.

🌸 Please Help Us Reach Our $60,000 Goal 🌸

No donation is too small.
Every share matters.
Every supporter becomes part of this mission.

Together, we can build a sanctuary that is safer, stronger, and ready to save even more lives.

From all of us at Layla's Rescue Ranch — and from every piggy snout depending on us — thank you for believing in this work. 🐽💕
