A Happy Place for Pigs

Welcome to Pigtopia, a happy safe place for unwanted, abandoned and neglected pigs. We’re located outside of Memphis, Tennessee. We are a registered and trademarked 501c3 non profit, and all donations are tax deductible. Currently there are 32 pigs here, ranging from one year to several years old, with potbellies and big pigs in the mix. Every pig that lives here is spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters.

We are not accepting any new pigs at this time, to ensure the highest quality of care for the pigs we have. If you need help placing a pig, please contact me for resources and help networking!

Ellie’s legacy is a better world for people and pigs through compassion. Please join us in honoring her memory by signing up for our 7 day plant based living challenge, hosted by Lori Depietro Standen, plant based nutritionalist and mindset coach.

For a pledge of $10, you’ll get access to our private group and live video guest spots from Lori, inspired recipes, grocery shopping advice, pro tips and support along the way, plus you’ll be entered to win an awesome plant based prize pack!

If you’ve ever thought about trying this lifestyle, now is the perfect time to spring forward and join the team... and 100% of proceeds benefit the pigs at Pigtopia!
