Rescue Pigs
Central Texas Pig Rescue, a non-profit, was founded in 2016 and is run entirely by volunteers. In addition to housing hundreds of pigs at its farm in Bastrop, the rescue sees itself as a pig advocacy group and aims to create the “perfect pig paradise.” As a part of their advocacy work, the rescue aims to shift public perception beyond seeing pigs as simply a meal, commodity, “micro pig” pet or an animal to test new products on. They also provide free support for pig parents.
