Hannah’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Hannah is a rescued mini pig whose story is one of survival, resilience, and transformation. Before arriving at the sanctuary Hannah endured severe neglect and had already been repeatedly bred before even reaching two years old. Rescued through Chicagoland Pig Rescue, she made the long 700-mile journey from Northern Michigan to Kentucky in search of safety and a better life.

Bio
Care That Changes
When Hannah first arrived, she needed reproductive and perinatal support as well as wound and skin care. Those immediate needs are in the past; today she receives routine preventive care, safe shelter, appropriate nutrition, enrichment, and monitoring as part of her lifelong sanctuary home.
Different is Beautiful
Today, Hannah spends her days doing all the things pigs deserve to do — exploring the outdoors, soaking up belly rubs, relaxing safely with her family, and simply being loved for who she is instead of what she could produce. She’s not just a rescue story; she’s a reminder that healing is possible when compassion finally replaces neglect.
