Story:

Mama Mississippi, along with 11 other potbellied pigs, was saved from a dire animal cruelty situation in Jacksonville, FL. Luvin Arms stepped up to provide a permanent home for five of them and facilitate the safe relocation of another four to a sanctuary in Texas.

During the journey to their new beginning, Mississippi faced an unexpected turn of events. While en route, she went into labor, a moment filled with concern and hope for the care team accompanying them. In a testament to her strength and resilience, Mississippi gave birth to six healthy piglets amidst the challenges of transport. This remarkable birth introduced sons Darius and Poe and daughters Stella, Tendu, Skylar, and Shirley to the world, marking a new chapter for Mississippi and her newborns.

Now safe and settled in the sanctuary, Mississippi relishes the joys of motherhood and sanctuary life. She is particularly fond of basking in the sunshine, a simple pleasure offering comfort and contentment. Her days are filled with watching her piglets grow and play, a sight that brings joy to all who witness this beautiful family’s bond. Among her favorite treats, peanut butter stands out as a special delight, a simple indulgence that brings her immense happiness.

Mississippi’s story is about resilience, hope, and the transformative power of care and compassion. As she enjoys her days surrounded by her piglets and the sanctuary staff who adore her, Mississippi’s journey from rescue to sanctuary life is a testament to the sanctuary’s commitment to providing a haven for animals in need. With belly rubs, sunshine, and the playful antics of Darius, Poe, Stella, Tendu, Skylar, and Shirley, Mississippi’s life is filled with love and care. The sanctuary looks forward to witnessing the continued growth and happiness of Mississippi and her family, celebrating each milestone as a victory for animal welfare and compassion.
