PHOENIX — Better Piggies Rescue is seeking the Valley’s help in raising $10,000 for a new air conditioning unit after theirs “bit the dust” on Sunday.
The organization says after several repairs the old unit finally died and they need a new system to house and rehabilitate piggies with medical and physical needs. They currently care for 180 pigs and three cows, most of which including the cows are located outdoors. Their concern is for the piggies that aren’t mobile and can’t be exposed to the outdoors.
BPR has been in the Valley for nearly a decade and was created after the owner, Danielle Betterman, rescued six pot belly pigs. The nonprofit group has since continued to rescue and rehabilitate pot belly pigs and farm hogs.
Donations can be made on their website.
