After two months on the run, Alonzo finally found his way to safety! A little piglet has been surviving on his own in Hyde Park.Six-month-old Alonzo was likely abandoned and left to fend for himself. We believe he may have originally been running with a sibling, but sadly, we never found the other pig and fear they did not survive.Over the past several weeks, many people kept an eye out for this elusive little guy. He learned to stay hidden, avoid people, and navigate a world that was never meant for a young companion pig to survive alone in.Today, his story changed.After months on the run, Alonzo was finally caught safely and is now settling in at Rise of the Pig. For the first time in a long time, he has a secure place to sleep, regular meals, and people looking out for him.His journey is a reminder that pigs are not wildlife. They are companion animals who depend on humans for care, safety, and protection. When they are abandoned, they face incredible odds.Tonight, Alonzo is safe.As we begin his next chapter, Alonzo will need veterinary care, including vaccines and neuter surgery. If you’d like to help support his care, donations can be here. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide the medical care and resources he needs to thrive.Alonzo is currently in foster care at Rise of the Pig while we search for the perfect forever home. If you have experience with pigs and are interested in providing Alonzo with the loving, lifelong home he deserves, we’d love to hear from you.Thank you to everyone who shared sightings, offered support, and helped bring this little guy to safety.After two months of surviving on his own, Alonzo finally has a chance at the life every pig deserves.Welcome to safety, Alonzo. ❤️🐷

Best Foot Forward Initiative We pay a lot of attention to what&rsquo;s underfoot&mdash;because for pigs, good footing has a huge impact on their mobility.Our pigs spend their days exploring, rooting, napping, and being generally excellent at being pigs. But when the ground is muddy, uneven, or worn down, it can lead to discomfort, stress, and even injury for some of our disabled friends. T hat&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re launching a footing project to improve the surfaces they walk and live on every day.We use a combination of gravel and mulch to create safer, more stable, and more comfortable pathways and lounging areas throughout the sanctuary. It helps with drainage, reduces deep mud in wet seasons, and gives our pigs a much better place to do all the important pig things&mdash;like strolling confidently to snack time.A truckload of gravel or mulch costs $600, and each load makes a real, visible difference across the property. Your support helps us keep bringing in the materials we need to keep the ground safer, drier, and more comfortable for our pigs year-round. Because at the end of the day, happy pigs start from the ground up.
