Piggies!!
Pigs
Wattles
Our founder was born Memorial Day weekend in 2014 and came to live with us that July. Our lives and purpose were forever changed. We lost Wattles in January 2023 due to older age difficulties caused by factory farming. We will never get over his loss.
Bean
Bean arrived in early 2024. Her human went to school and the grandparents struggled to keep her from getting out into a busy road (??) She was brought to us in the trunk of a car. She is nearly deaf but we had her spayed and fully vetted and are looking forward to her having a long, loved life here.
Bertha and Gertie
These sisters are inseperable. They are very loving, curious, and vocal. They arrived at BAS in Sept 2020 after a holdover at another Sanctuary until we could get transport.
Boris
Boris was a breeding "stud" that a local farmer could no longer afford to feed. We supplied feed for him until we could get Boris neutered and brought to the Sanctuary.
Cicero
Cicero was at an auction as a "meat" pig. We got them to release him to us so he could happily live here. He quickly bonded with Peaches and is very sweet. Cicero has one brown eye and one half brown and blue.
Cupcake
Cupcake's life was being threatened in a domestic situation so Tony rushed to get her from New Hampshire. She was grossly overweight, fat-blind, and scared. She's gradually been losing weight and getting a bit friendlier. She's loved as she is and we're happy she is getting healthier.
Ginger and Mary Ann
These 2 beautiful sisters arrived at Broome Animal Sanctuary from Wisconsin in 2020. Mary Ann in the background and Ginger in the forefront. A few months earlier we had rescued Mary Ann’s baby (Regan), but sadly she was to sick and weak and passed away after less than 2 weeks. We wanted to do something special to honor Regan’s all too short life so we reached out to the farmer that we rescued Regan from and asked him if he would consider letting us rescue Regan’s mother. After much convincing not only did he surrender the mother, but he also allowed us to take the mother’s sister, Regan’s aunt. As much as we wished that Regan would have lived we are so grateful that these two beautiful sisters are here with us.
Hermes
Hermes came to us in mid-2023 from an unloved situation. We are working with him through some aggression issues due to his past treatment. He is loved and will always be valued here.
Jones
Jones jumped off of a transport truck to a slaughterhouse when he was 3 months old, to escape death. His road wounds are healed and his mind and emotions are pretty good too. If a being doesn't want to die there is no ethical way to kill them. He will live here, loved, for the rest of his natural life. Jones arrived at BAS in Sept 2020.
Joseph
Joseph was left under a park bench in a carrier. He was supposed to just be here one night waiting on transportation, but obviously never left. He lives in the house, well, he runs the house.
Leroy Brown
We were called, while out to lunch, by a rescue group needing someone to go and rescue Leroy Brown before he was sent to BBQ that evening, so we went and got him from a terrifying situation. We don't recommend giving him a hug - he can be a bit aggressive, but has calmed down over the years and we could not love him more!
Moe & Curly
(Shown with their brother, Larry - RIP, because they were so close). The boys came from a bad situation. They are sweet and vocal furballs now.
Otis
Otis was a University research test pig who was set to be slaughtered. Some kind people were determined to save him and located us. He has some medical issues but is very happy and doing well.
Romeo's 7
The day after we lost Romeo, we got an early morning call saying that 7 of our piglets were in their yard (we didn't have any piglets here) but ran down anyway and yes there were 7 piglets in a yard. We walked them the mile here to the Sanctuary and they immediately took up in Romeo's now vacant bedroom. The farmer later came to get them but we talked him into surrenduring them. To honor Romeo, we named them all after Romeo and Juliet charters so they are now known as Montague, Capulet, Juliet, Paris, Rose, Mercutio, and Tybalt.
Peaches
Peaches was rescued by an awesome boy after being subjected to being a "greased pig" at a fair before going to slaughter. She's one of the sweetest residents here and we are so happy she will live out her life happy and loved.
