How We Bloom
Rescue with Compassion & Urgency.
Every animal deserves safety, care, and connection. Here’s how we make that happen—one buddy at a time. When a pig is in need, we act fast. While we are not yet a physical sanctuary, we work closely with Chicagoland Pig Rescue, which supports us with transports and rescue logistics. Together, we ensure every pig receives safe transport and the first touch of kindness that every rescue deserves. Every rescue begins with compassion—and ends with hope.
Rehabilitation Through Care & Heart
Through our collaboration with trusted partners and veterinary professionals, we help pigs begin their journey toward trust, comfort, and confidence. Whether it’s medicine, mud baths, or gentle socialization, every act of care helps them bloom again.
Forever Homes & Fosters
Every pig deserves a place to belong! We prepare pigs for loving foster or forever homes, matching them with families who understand and cherish their unique personalities. While we are still in the process of establishing our physical sanctuary, our focus remains on ensuring each pig finds a safe and nurturing place to belong—whether with a forever family or a dedicated foster home.
Building a Blooming Community
Beyond rescue! Blooming Buddies is growing into more than a sanctuary—it’s becoming a space for community, education, and connection. As we build our future physical home, we continue laying the foundation for programs that support animals, people, and the planet.
