Pigs

We are a fully legal pig sanctuary in Poland.

Two of our sweetest residents are Em and Gustav; Göttingen potbelly pigs whose story show exactly why our mission matters.

When Em’s human family were planning to move abroad, they didn’t realise the legal requirements for keeping pigs in Poland. Their local vet threatened to put Em down, and we had just a few weeks to take action.

Thanks to our lawyer’s dedication and the cooperation of our County Veterinary Inspectorate, we successfully relocated Em to our sanctuary and completed all the necessary registration paperwork.

Without our intervention, Em would have been euthanised. Instead, she was given a second life.

Gustav has a similar story, where he, too, wasn’t registered and his human family needed to relocate and couldn’t take him with them. Thanks to their determination and patience during a quite hostile battle with the County Vet Inspectorate, we managed to get him fully legal and ready to be transported to us.

More updates to follow on Em and Gustav’s stories!

Many people don’t realise that keeping pigs in Poland is subject to strict veterinary regulations and requires proper registration and regular inspections. As a pig sanctuary, we are fully registered with the Regional Veterinary Inspectorate and undergo multiple inspections throughout the year to ensure the highest standards of safety and welfare for our residents.

We strictly adhere to all biosecurity requirements, ensuring our pigs are kept legally and in safe conditions.

We understand that pig regulations in Poland can be complex. That’s why we help people who have a pig without knowing the legal requirements. Our legal team specialises in this area and provides support in navigating the legalisation process.

Every pig in our sanctuary receives an individually tailored diet based on their age, weight, and health needs.

We are currently expanding our pig area to provide even larger pastures, additional environmental enrichment, and more space for them to express their natural behaviours.

Our residents deserve a life full of dignity, joy, and safety.

Every animal in our sanctuary has their own story and deserves a happy life. Your help gives them a chance for a better tomorrow, including food, vet care, and a home full of love. Support us and help write their happy ending.
