A combination of open space, modern structures and gorgeous landscape make Marshall's Piggy Paradise a popular destination for volunteers.

Some areas are smaller, geared toward mobility-challenged pigs; others are large with lots of room to roam for the more active pigs.

They all enjoy mud baths, healthy food, exercise and, most important of all, love and attention for as long as it takes them to find loving homes of their own.

Trimming hooves, dental work, cleaning ears and (for the boys) trimming tusks all take place on what caregivers playfully refer to as “spa day.”

The pigs at Marshall's Piggy Paradise take character to a whole new level. Their grunting, snorting and wallowing — signs that they are happy and content — and charming personalities make them truly lovable. Come volunteer to meet some of the residents and see for yourself!

Join us for our pig and goat walking tour to discover the affectionate personalities of potbellied pigs and the endearing goofiness of goats.

The short version of the tour happens Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:00 a.m. (duration: 30 minutes | distance: .5 mile), and the longer version (duration: 1 hour | distance: 1 mile) happens Sundays at 10:30 a.m., Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m., and Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. 

Please be aware that this tour takes us through sand and uneven terrain, so navigating this tour by wheelchair, though possible, is difficult. (Service animals may come on the tour.)

Enrich lives by volunteering with the pigs at Marshall's Piggy Paradise and discover the intelligence, humor, and charisma of our wonderful potbellied pigs.
