A Kelowna-area pig sanctuary has finally found its new home, and everyone is settling in nicely.
Star香蕉视频直播檚 Piggly Wigglys Sanctuary founder and owner Faith Affleck said it took them months to find a new location, but it all paid off with a spacious property in Peachland.
The sanctuary香蕉视频直播檚 new property is large enough for the animals to have bigger pens, giving them space to run around and play in pools.
Affleck said she was able to secure the new property in May after a call out in January. She started getting everything ready, moving the animals into the new place in June.
香蕉视频直播淪ince we香蕉视频直播檝e been here, I have rescued six more pigs, with another one the way so that香蕉视频直播檚 seven. Two roosters, two ducks, but sadly one of the roosters passed away,香蕉视频直播� she said.
香蕉视频直播淎ll the animals are being actual real pigs because they love it here. At the old (property) they didn香蕉视频直播檛 have the mud, they didn香蕉视频直播檛 have pools because the property was all downhill so they didn香蕉视频直播檛 have space.香蕉视频直播�
Since moving into Peachland, Affleck has also taken in a couple of evacuees香蕉视频直播� animals. She said the pigs香蕉视频直播� owners had been evacuated from Falkland due to the White Rock Lake fire and because they didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to keep stressing the animals out by repeated moves, they decided to give them up fully.
With a close view of the Mount Law wildfire and evacuation alerts and orders being issued, Affleck was a bit worried that she and the animals would have to move again.
She香蕉视频直播檚 spent several sleepless nights worrying about the animals since the fire first sparked on Aug. 15, but now that crews are starting to gain control of the fire and evacuation orders are being rescinded, she said she香蕉视频直播檚 feeling relieved.
And, now that they香蕉视频直播檙e in a new location, Affleck wants to spread the word so she香蕉视频直播檚 hosting a by-donation open house on Aug. 29. There will be a silent auction, a colouring station for kids, and those who visit will have a chance to meet the sanctuary香蕉视频直播檚 rescued animals.
Star香蕉视频直播檚 Piggly Wigglys Sanctuary is now located at 5030 Cousins Road in Peachland. If you wish to donate or volunteer, you can find more information through .
