Hog Haven Farm rescues potbellied (mini) and standard breeds of pigs from situations of abandonment, abuse, neglect, and slaughter. We provide sanctuary to a minimum of 100 pigs, adopt pigs to loving forever homes, and offer education to pig owners and the general public.
Testimonials
Hog Haven Farm's animal-assisted therapy program has seen widespread success in the greater Denver-metro area. In five years, we have serviced more than 40 facilities, and we currently visit half a dozen on a recurring monthly basis. Specifically, memory care has had the largest impact, as the pigs bring smiles and so much happiness to those they visit.
Hog Haven Farm has also helped pet potbellied pigs remain in their homes, rather than surrendered to the sanctuary or new homes. Working with current pig owners, we assist with behavior modification and training, and educate pig parents to better understand the care and needs of their companion--and to keep them in a good home.
Mission
Hog Haven Farm is a rescue and sanctuary for potbellied and standard breeds of pigs. We promote pigs as the third domesticated pet, provide education to pig parents and the general public, promote a plant-based diet, and offer outreach programming to the greater Denver-metro community.
Background Statement
Hog Haven Farm was founded in 2014 by Erin and Andrew Burgardt. After adopting a pet pig from Craigslist, the Burgardt's discovered there is a high demand for pig rescue in Colorado. In this time, Hog Haven Farm has relocated twice, and more than 350 pigs have been rescued! In addition to providing sanctuary for and adopting pigs to the qualified families, Hog Haven Farm offers outreach programming to the Denver-metro area, including animal-assisted therapy to memory care, at-risk youth, and the mentally disabled. Hog Haven Farm also offers educational outreach to current and future pig parents, as well as the general public.
