Where Healing & Hope Bloom

Helping Our Animal Buddies Heal, Grow, & Bloom

From snouts of uncertainty to tails of joy—Blooming Buddies gives miniature pigs and other animals a second chance at life. At Blooming Buddies, we create a safe, joyful sanctuary where animals can heal, grow, and bloom—and where humans can connect, learn, and give back. Every tail wag, snuffle, and snort tells a story of hope and transformation.

Why It Matters

There’s a growing need across the Midwest for sanctuaries that can care for miniature pigs, roosters, and other animals that require specialized housing or rehabilitation — especially from owners who can no longer keep them. Blooming Buddies fills that gap.

How We Root the Bloom

  • Two girls sitting in grass, one wearing a pink hat and sunglasses, and the other wearing glasses, petting a tabby cat. They are outdoors on a sunny day with a fence, trees, and a blue sky in the background.

    Foster

    Open your heart and home.
    Fostering is a special way to give pigs a safe, loving space while they wait for their forever families. Each foster home provides essential care, socialization, and comfort, helping our rescues grow confident, happy, and ready for adoption. If you have a warm heart, a little extra room, and a love for animals, there’s a magical place for you in our foster family.

    Foster a Pig
  • A man wearing a red t-shirt, gray shorts, and rubber boots is standing next to a large pig in a farmyard. The pig is lying on the dirt ground, and there are plants and a barn building in the background.
