When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping Spice with all of her care from routine vet visits to daily feedings. With your yearly sponsorship you will receive monthy updates and pictures of your animal, plus a plaque on the animals stall acknowledging your sponsorship. Also, receive a free pass for all Open Barn Days! Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves! This is the gift that keeps on giving, for you and for Spice.
 
Sugar and Spice are Hereford Hogs. They were found abandoned on the side of road in Runnells, Iowa by a very compassionate woman, who just so happened to be a big supporter of IFS. When a sheriff arrived on the scene, he was fearful that the pigs were wild because of their hair, and got animal control involved quickly. Our team got on the phones as soon as we heard the news and made sure the sheriff knew that the girls were not a threat (all pigs have hair!), and that they would have a place to live if no one claimed them. Animal control worked with the local rescue, the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, who picked up the pigs and brought them quickly to safety. The ARL fostered Sugar and Spice temporarily, and they were given their names by one of the ARL's summer interns. After some frantic fundraising we were able to bring these sweet girls home, and provide the sanctuary they so clearly deserved.
