Hog Haven Farm

Hog Haven Farm is a Colorado nonprofit for all things potbellied pig. We offer education, community outreach, therapy, rescue and support.

Our mission is to provide a safe, happy home for potbellied pigs (and other livestock) that are rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We also strive to educate the community about pigs as pets and creatures, offer therapy pet visits with those in need, including children and the elderly.

Our mission is to provide a safe environment for potbellied pigs that are rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. HHF strives to promote compassion for all animals, and to allow these animals to live happy lives without fear and suffering.

We currently offer therapy pet programs across the Denver metro area, and our list includes memory care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, libraries, and more!

In the long term, Hog Haven Farm aims to:

• Promote potbellied pigs as the third recognized domesticated animal and pet by providing education and resources to the general public
• Provide a safe home for rescued livestock (including potbelly pigs) to call home; a place for rehabilitation of livestock animals; and a welcoming environment for the community to become better acquainted with animals associated with food
• Educate the community about potbelly pigs as creatures and pets
• Educate the community about farm animals through volunteer programs, organization visits to the farm (schools, etc.), and allow community to work directly with the animals to learn more about them
• Educate the community about sustainable food options; farm animals are more than dinner, and educational programs are paramount in creating change within the food industry
• Create outreach program for children with autism (research strongly suggests that animals increase positive social behaviors with children that have ASD)
• Lobby for certain counties (i.e. Denver) to amend zoning restrictions on potbelly pigs; currently they are considered livestock and not allowed. Homeowners may amend individual zoning on their home, but process is difficult and doesn’t yield results
