Helping Manifest a Better Future for Piggies
Our Mission
We are a 501c3 non-profit sanctuary and rescue organization that helps educate and connect pet pigs in need with forever homes.
What We Do
Snouts of Sedona is a pet pig sanctuary and rescue in Sedona, Arizona. We are a small team of dedicated volunteers who have a deep passion for advocating for and rescuing pet pigs and have done so for over 25 years. To amplify our impact and save more lives, we became a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue. Since our founding in 2020, we have helped to find foster or forever homes for over 650 pet pigs. We are a vegan organization. (:

Rescue and Networking
We work alongside a team of fellow rescuers and sanctuaries to network across Arizona and California to help pet pigs in need. We are partnered with a dozen shelters where we rescue pigs on the euthanasia list, in addition to helping with neglect, abandonment cases, confiscations, and owner surrenders. We arrange for transportation, medical care, spay/neuters, and foster or forever homes for as many of them as we can fund. On average, we help 80-120 piggies a year.
The sad fact is that the majority of pet pigs will be rehomed by their owners at some point in their lives. We work hard to keep pigs with good owners when possible. We do this through individual owner education and, as funds allow, provide owners the tools they need to properly care for their pigs (spays/neuters, behavioral help, weight loss, hoof trims, etc).
Sanctuary
We have given a forever home to 32 pet piggies at our main location and help provide financial support to 11 at our board member's location, both located in Sedona. These loving souls came from shelters, neglect cases, confiscation cases, and owner surrenders. Many of them have special medical needs. They enjoy playing in the yard as well as snuggling and watching TV just like a dog would.
Piggy Education
Our education program helps people see pigs for who they truly are, living beings, just like dogs and cats, with big feelings, strong opinions, and unforgettable personalities. We educate the public, support potential adopters and pig guardians, and collaborate with other sanctuaries to share knowledge and best practices. By making learning approachable and fun, we help pigs land in the right homes and stay there. We are strong believers that opening eyes opens hearts and can encourage a plant-based lifestyle, saving countless lives. (stay tuned for our new Education page we are working on)
