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 fosters or 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 570 pet pigs.

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.
Team Fostering
With limited sanctuary space, we rely on our amazing team of fosters and fellow sanctuaries who are helping us to care for nearly 55 pigs that we have already spayed/neutered. While they are waiting for forever homes, we help fund medical care, food and other expenses as needed.
Sanctuary
We have given a forever home to 37 pet piggy residents, 26 at our main location and 11 at our board members 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.
Education
​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 education and providing owners the tools they need to properly care for their pigs (spay/neuters, behavioral help, weight loss, hoof trims, etc). If they cannot remain in their homes we network to find them foster or forever homes
