Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary - About Us - JENNA AND FRIENDS ANIMAL SANCTUARY

About Us

Our beloved Jenna

Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary is a peaceful refuge outside of Chapel Hill, NC for potbellied pigs, farm pigs, and roosters. We started our dream of rescuing animals in late 2015, and now we are well on our way with over 25 animals!

Our sanctuary is named after our beloved dog and best friend Jenna, pictured here. She deeply touched our lives in so many ways. We just had to keep her sweet memory alive in our name so she can serve as a constant reminder and inspiration that our mission is and always will be to rescue, care for, and provide love and compassion to our animal friends as long as we live.

Our mission

Our mission is based on three founding principles:

Provide a loving and safe forever home for pigs in need.
Serve as an example for others who want to start a small animal rescue in their community with little-to-no funding.
Educate others through events and social media about the plight of pigs who suffer the consequences of the breeding and food industries.

We welcome visitors and volunteers at our micro-sanctuary in Chapel Hill, NC. We love to introduce you to life at the sanctuary and the pigs love belly rubs!
