Our mission is to provide a safe, loving forever sanctuary for every pot-bellied pig we rescue.
Happy and Sunshine Pig Sanctuary is a small, family-run haven in Atkinson, NC, founded by husband-and-wife team Shane and Nicole Talley in 2020. What began with a gifted pig cookie jar and the rescue of their first pig, Bacon, soon turned into a calling. Today, alongside Bacon’s best friend Biscuit, we provide lifelong care, safety, and love to 66 pot-bellied pigs and have already helped five pigs find their forever homes.
