Bliss
Mini Pig
Pig
Bliss was born at Butterfly Valley after her mother, Hannah, reached safety while pregnant, and her extra toes made her stand out among nine siblings from the beginning. She remained so Hannah could finally raise one baby in peace, and this bold, curious pig now receives specialized hoof care while living beside the mother who adores her.

Life at Butterfly Valley
While most of her siblings were adopted into loving homes across the country, the sanctuary made the intentional decision to keep Bliss so Hannah could experience something she had likely never known before — the chance to peacefully raise one of her babies in safety and love. Today, Bliss and Hannah still live side by side, sharing a bond that is incredibly special to witness.

Bliss’s Place in Our Story
Bliss is a one-of-a-kind mini pig with an even more one-of-a-kind story. Born at here at the sanctuary shortly after her mother Hannah was rescued from severe neglect, Bliss entered the world alongside eight siblings — but quickly stood out because of her unique extra toes, a condition called polydactyl disorder. Her unusual hooves require specialized farrier care to help keep her comfortable and mobile, but Bliss has never let being different slow her down.
