George was rescued after he and two other pigs fell from a transport truck on I-35 outside of Des Moines. Luckily, a friend of ours happened to be passing by immediately after the pigs fell from the truck. She contacted us, and we were able to arrive on scene immediately. Sadly, the other two pigs had to be euthanized, but George was safe and was taken to Iowa State Large Animal Hospital for a full work-up. Since his rescue, George has recovered well and has even lost a few pounds to achieve a healthy weight. Shortly after his rescue, he became an uncle to a piglet named Guy. The two have a bond unlike anything we have witnessed at the sanctuary before.
When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping George with all of his care, from routine vet visits to daily feedings.
With your yearly sponsorship (payments recurring monthly) you will receive quarterly updates and pictures of your resident in your email, your name on the IFS website, plus a spot on our exclusive sponsorship slideshow, viewable in the IFS store. Also, receive a free pass for all Sanctuary Strolls for the duration of your sponsorship!
Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves! This is the gift that keeps on giving, for you and for George.
For your convenience, this sponsorship will automatically renew each year until you choose to discontinue sponsor support.
