Meet The Piggies!

Every pig at Pigtopia is unique, beautiful and special in their own way. We have 31 amazing piggies here! Sponsorships are available for each pig. Contact me with any questions! Every single pig here has been spayed or neutered, to prevent unwanted litters and over population.

Featured Piggo:

Nebula Dawn

Nebula’s journey here began as part of our Amber’s Refuge fostering program before she became a very loved member of our sanctuary family. She has neurological issues that affect her balance and vision and a history of seizures, but she doesn’t let that slow her down one BIT!

Bluebelle

With sky blue eyes and the cutest underbite you ever did see, BB will steal your heart very quick! She lives here with her son Bud, and they both adore thier pool :)

BUD

This sweet boy arrived via the Tipton county animal shelter with his mom and sister from a horrible hoarding case. He’s a gentle and quiet fella who loves water SO much.

Mr. Phoenix Felix

He’s by far our largest resident, topping out over 700 pounds of cuteness. He was found roaming in Bartlett and the most amazing family connected with him and facilitated him coming here!

Amy Swinehouse

Amy is an absolute spot of sunshine in my every day life. We met in 2018, when she was adopted out through us after being picked up by Memphis Animal Services. This year she came back to me through no fault of her own, and I’m glad she did. She greets me standing on the gate every day, swoons for pets, and LOVES to play with me while I cut grass by getting zoomies. She’s so loving and sweet!

DUSTER

Capturing a sharp picture of this living tornado is a challenge even for this professional photographer! Duster is a lean mean GO machine, but he does appreciate a good scritch on the fly before he heads out for his next adventure :)

Ellie

Eleanor Pigby... the one who started it all! Ellie and her best friend Mercy have been featured on National Geographic's show "Unlikely Animal Friends", Best Friends magazine, and most recently in the local Cypress Magazine's pet section, as well as a feature with Edible Memphis

Hagrid

Hagrid went through a LOT before he came to Pigtopia. He was chased down, shot by animal control with a sedation dart, tackled and brought into a shelter with of barking dogs, concrete floors and staff who don’t have experience with pigs. He was already missing an ear and a good bit of his hearing, and upon coming here and going under sedation for his neuter, I discovered he had a grass awn (sharp seed) embedded inside his eyelid. He was extremely afraid of people, understandably! After a couple years, he seeks out love!

Anna

Anna was found wandering the streets of Memphis, TN with 8 approximately 2 day old piglets! She was fostered for some time with the fantastic Dr. Oleson, until she came here with her 5 remaining kids. Since then, two more of her group have been adopted to forever homes.

Mulder

Mulder and Scully were just tiny babies when they came to me, having been saved from squalor and inevitable death. Now they are joyful, thriving piggies full of love! Mulder's favorite food is watermelon, and his favorite pastime is snuggling.

FERGUS O'MAlley

Fergus is one of 10 kids Bambi had a month after arriving here. He's extremely loving, and his best friend is Reggie :) He’s so stunningly handsome!

GOOSHIE

Gooshie is one of Anna’s kids, and is a super polite young man. He came to live at Pigtopia at a few months of age, and bonded to his now best friend Bogey Raton. Their bromance is so cute!

FERN

Fern or Ferny is almost a twin of Flower, but what sets her apart are the most soulful amber eyes you’ve ever seen. Even being a professional photographer, its hard to capture them in all their glory. She’s an independent lady, and knows what she wants (watermelon!)

OPAL INEZ

Opal’s story is one of a mama just doing the best she could for her babies. She and her two sons Oliver and Quincy were part of a petting zoo, and all three of them had mange, mites, and malnutrition. Oliver and Quincy had E.Coli and very nearly didn’t make it. Opal is incredibly gentle and sweet!

Rest in peace

Mary Jane

Mary Jane is Punk and Gushie’s “big” sister and rolls her eyes at their dramas. She is a no nonsense lady, and not too big on pets from us, but she loves to sleep with her family and Mom Anna at night.

Brisky Business

Brisky Boy, AKA Brisky Business, is such a gorgeous guy. He’s the unfortunate victim of divorce. Brisk was heartbroken, angry, and confused. He lashed out with biting and charging behaviors. Brisk is learning how to heal…You got this buddy! Brisky needs his own sponsor, and he promises he won’t bite…. hard.

Bartlett

Bartlett was picked up by animal control and because he wasn’t neutered or socialized, he was acting out and the staff wasn’t equipped to deal with his behavior. Then, they ran out of space, and Bartlett was out of time. He came here, and slowly but surely came out of shell and has become SUCH a sweet boy! He loves to sit for treats and gives me gentle kisses.

Scully

Scully is the class clown! She's always "busy" and "nosy" and absolutely loves to carry sticks, water hoses and anything else she can find around. She's also a dedicated helper when it comes to chores... she loves to be right in the middle of everything. She is also a very special MAPLE pig!

BAMBI

Bambi was dumped in my neighborhood. She had a ring in her nose, which is an incredibly cruel (and ineffective) way of keeping pigs from rooting up dirt. One month later, Bambi gave birth to TEN piglets! 3 have since gone on to adoptive families, while 7 are still here. Bambi loves her kids and is fond of pumpkins :)

OLIVER

Oliver is one of the sweetest pigs on the planet. He is gentle, kind, and loving. He was rescued with his mama Opal and brother Quincy from a petting zoo, when he was on the verge of dying from e.coli, mites, mange and several other issues.

FLOWER

Another of Bambi’s kiddos, Flower is another nod to the classic Disney film, but she’s always kinda acted like she’s a movie star, so the name fits! Flower’s aloof, gorgeous and SO fluffy.

Ignacio Chancho

Ignacio is an enigma. He’s one of Bambi’s kids, but he prefers to keep to himself. There’s a little notch gone from his ear from fighting with his siblings shortly after birth. Its a normal thing all piglets do, to establish who is “top hog”, but he’s retired from the fighting ring and now he mainly tries to be a water buffalo!

Quincy Mcconaughey

Brother to Oliver and son to Opal, Quincy is a very loving gentle guy. After battling health problems at intake he made a full recovery and was one of the founding pigs here! He says alright alright alright and looks just like Matthew McConaughey to me! :)

Punk

Don’t let this adorable face fool you, Punk totally lives up to his name, but we love him all the same! Once while visiting the indoors, Punk let himself out of a kennel, climbed up on a desk and p**ped all over it, then knocked everything off into the floor. He does what he wants…. outside now!

Chub Chub (Luna)

Chub Chub was abandoned by her family in the dead of winter in belly deep snow, outside of Kansas City, MO. She was rescued by an amazingly patient and loving pig mom named Cassandra, and came to live with me a couple of months later. She's a very shy girl, pretty much only trusts me, and adores tomatoes. :)

Panda

Panda has been here since 2016. He is a precious, kid loving fella. I'm his 4th home, and his forever love. He adores snuggles, coconut oil and more snuggles.

REGINALD BARCLAY

Reggie is the class clown. He’s the most vocal and talkative of all the pigs here! He’s Bambi’s biggest kid, and also the biggest snuggler. This guy demands a spot in my lap regardless of how big he is!

SEBASTIAN

Sebastian stepped in and took over the role of “Dad” to Bambi’s piglets when they were born and showed them the ropes, ever kind and patient. He was abandoned in Bartlett when his family moved and fended for himself for a couple months before coming here. He is the only pig with blue eyes at Pigtopia!

REESE’S PIECES

This devastatingly cute young man came to Pigtopia because after his neuter in another state, he had an emergency hernia surgery… but something still wasn’t right. After a couple months it was clear he need veterinary intervention, and his family realized they couldn’t provide him with everything he needed. After a 4 hour surgery, and loosing 3 FEET of his bowels, Reese’s Pieces felt great! He has never met a stranger, and is a forceful snuggler!

BOGEY RATON

Bogey is our senior produce inspector! His foster family had access to a lot of fresh fruit and veggies, so this guy has had it ALL. He knows his root vegetables, ya’ll! He’s also very sweet and has prickly gray hair which makes him so handsome :)

Everett

This wee little guy was posted in our neighborhood facebook group, where hog hunters and BBQ hungry people alike clamored to get to him first. Our incredible veterinarian and I managed to convince him to come with us with lots of cheerios, and the rest is history!

Chaco

Chaco has been a chill dude since day one. He LOVES women and has all the confidence and swagger of a lady’s man. He’s so sweet and loving. One of Bambi’s Tenacious Ten, he’s often seen relaxing with his Mom.

Fancy

One question most people ask me is if I can tell all these black piggies apart. The answer is YES! They are each unique and special in their own way and have things that make them stand out to me. For Fancy, she has always been soft spoken and gentle. She has a few white whiskers, and a whisp of white on her tail, the only Tenacious Ten piggy to have anything other than black.
