And talk she does, as she goes about the never ending chores associated with the care, feeding, loving, and maintaining everyone in clean, safe and comfortable surroundings. For Pigs Sake Sanctuary is a non-profit 501C3 organization. It is partially funded by M.A.P.P.E., the metroplex area potbelly pig enthusiasts. That is a group of potbelly pig owners who recognize the need to support a sanctuary for these discarded pets. During the year, M.A.P.P.E. holds several fundraising events as well as supporting community outreach programs advocating responsible pet ownership.
Volunteers are always welcome at the sanctuaries located both north and south of Dallas.
Contributions are welcome, and there is a memorial fund to remember departed pets, as well as an adoption or sponsorship program. Not everyone can have a pig in their house, but they can certainly be a part of sponsoring one of the many fine pets in the sanctuary. The program provides a picture of the adopted pig as well as periodic updates and a beautiful certificate proclaiming that you are the sponsor of this particular pig. This is her chosen work. The few times she does leave for community outreach programs or such, she has a caretaker oversee the facility.
