Hello, I’m Ellie the pig and you can adopt me!
I came to live at the sanctuary in 2019, when I grew much bigger than my humans expected. They thought I was going to stay as a mini piglet forever, but that’s something of a myth in the animal world! I’m still just as cute however, and now I get to spend my days living in the beautiful Pig Woodland here at the sanctuary with my best pals Jasper and Kermit.
Want to join our journey and help more pigs like me? Start your symbolic pig adoption today and give the gift of safety, happiness, and love.

Looking for the perfect present for an animal lover? An Ellie the Pig Adoption Pack makes a thoughtful and unique gift. We can send the box directly to your recipient or to you for gifting in person.
Please note, aspects of the box may differ slightly from the above image, for example, the style of pen or photo in the frame but all items listed will be included. We use real straw in our adoption boxes. If you prefer we didn’t in yours, then please get in touch by emailing info@goodheart.org.uk
By symbolically adopting one of our rescued pigs, you’re helping us provide:
Lifelong care: Ensuring Ellie and her friends enjoy their days in the Pig Woodland.
New beginnings: Supporting our efforts to rescue and rehome pigs in need.
Education: Spreading awareness about the challenges pigs face as pets and in farming.
Pigs have 44 teeth! In males, the front canine teeth form sharp tusks which continuously grow throughout their lifetime.
Pigs are generalist omnivores and are capable of surviving practically anywhere on Earth so long as there is enough water to sustain them.
Pigs are incredibly smart, often ranked among the top five most intelligent animals.
We’ve been working on a ground-breaking new habitat development project that will provide our pigs with an enriched life here at the sanctuary, and allow visitors to interact with them all year round!
Your adoption lasts for 12 months. After that, you can renew to continue supporting Ellie and her friends.
A £30 one-off payment is required to adopt a pig, and your adoption lasts for 12 months. If you would like to support our animals with a regular payment, please consider a Sponsorship or a Regular Donation.
At present, Ellie is the only pig available for adoption, however by adopting her you are helping us to expand our offering and provide a home for many more animals in the future. If you would like to sponsor a piglet, you can do so over on our Sponsor an animal page.
There is no limit to the number of people who can adopt one of our animals. This allows as many supporters as possible to connect with and learn about our rescued residents through the adoption boxes and email updates.
Here at Goodheart, we have seen first-hand just how many pigs end up at rescues when owners of pet pigs get out of their depth. Our rescued pigs are the lucky ones, but sadly many pigs bought as pets end up being sold for slaughter as rescue places are very limited and owners don’t always know all of their options.
By symbolically adopting Ellie the pig through us, you can feel good knowing you’ve helped our rescued animals, without the added responsibility that comes with owning a pig as a pet.
