RESIDENTS

Saving Animals & Healing Hearts has a number of permanent residents. For a variety of reasons they are unable to be adopted and remain here safe and happy. The following are just some of our current residents.

Charlie

 

Charlie was rescued along with 7 other pigs that were red-listed in a high-kill shelter on borrowed time. After his rescue, all 8 pigs were saved, and we immediately got him neutered; our vet treated him for a terrible skin infection. With lots of love and time to heal and adjust, Charlie has blossomed into the most incredible Hollywood Fashion Star Pig! Literally, this superstar walked the runway in a fancy fashion show and starred in a Netflix series called PetStars. Charlie is smart, fun, and loves to run and play in the sprinklers. From shelter to Hollywood, to Trick-or-Treating events at the San Diego Humane Society, Charlie is most definitely a star pig and our leading pig ambassador in our efforts to educate our community and the public on what to really expect when deciding to add a pig to your family. Charlie is helping to bust the micro-mini pig myth and show the world that all pigs grow. And, of course, he is stealing the hearts of everyone he encounters. Please consider becoming Charlie’s monthly sponsor!

Clyde


He's a real pauper to prince story. He was found wandering in a neighboring town and brought to the shelter. Someone adopted him but then returned him because "he didn't walk on a leash good enough" (right... Can you believe it?). Thanks to the help of some swift networking he was quickly pulled and brought to us. He was a very shy and young little guy when he arrived. We quickly got him neutered and his personality started to blossom. From shelter to a house guest, Clyde delights in belly rubs and has learned that sitting and spinning around gets him some pretty great treats!

Ella (mama of Jaxson)


It was a warm weekday around May 2017 when I received a phone call from a friend telling me about a miniature donkey at an auction that was going to be sold for slaughter. I wasnt going to let that happen. So rescued her, and she arrived terrified, emaciated, and shaking. As soon as her feet hit the ground, I said she was pregnant. We named her Ella, for "Cinderella... gone from rags to riches" in a matter of hours. Ella was terrified; humans had failed her. It took a while to even be able to lay a hand on her without her shaking. But every morning she would get fed, brushed, and loved, and every evening she would get fed, brushed, and loved. It wasn't long before she looked forward to it instead of hiding. Our vet revealed that she was indeed pregnant, but given her emaciated state, the prognosis for the baby was not good. Nevertheless, on Labor Day in 2017, baby Jaxson arrived, well-fed, handsome, and feisty. I knew immediately that he would join our therapy program to teach love, kindness, compassion, and care to all who met him. Please consider becoming Ella’s monthly sponsor today!

Ginger


Ginger, was rescued in late May of 2021. She was living in a small crate that was covered with cardboard and was never allowed out. She never saw the sunlight or felt a warm ray on her skin. She was covered in her own urine and feces so bad that her skin was beet red from the exposure to her own waste. She was terrified of literally anything and everything. Today Ginger spends her days laying in a custom piggy pool, rooting around in the dirt in her big open pen, with volunteers that cater to all her needs! Ginger’s heart has had time to heal and she has blossomed into the fun loving and confident girl she was always meant to be! She would make an incredible piggy family member to your home!

Harley


Harley is a 20(ish) year old quarter horse that was relinquished to SAHH. He has a congenital defect on his front leg that turns out from the shoulder and leaves him lame most of the time. He’s drop-dead gorgeous and everyone wants him but due to his birth defect, he will never be 100% sound and subject to an unknown fate. He will retire here at SAHH and forever be a ranch favorite giving the best horsey hugs and cuddles! Harley would love to have a sponsor!
