Piggins and Banks

We are a nonprofit organization in Cross Junction, Virginia that provides a haven for abandoned, neglected, or unwanted pigs and animals in need of a home to live out their lives.

Many people will often adopt pigs thinking they are easy to care for like dogs, or will stay small in size like a piglet. However there is no such thing as a “mini” or “teacup” pig! Even the smallest pigs will grow close to 100lbs in size. Pigs also require special attention different from dogs or cats. They are social animals and prefer to be around other pigs.

Because of this, many people will get rid of their pet pigs by abandoning them or selling them cheaply to people looking to have them butchered for meat.

That is why we have been inspired to help these unwanted pigs (and other animals) and started the Piggins and Banks Pig and Animal Sanctuary!
