Mini-Pigs
Sanctuary
Culpeper, VA (540) 937-5229
The sanctuary hosts small groups of children several times
each summer and fall. We can tailor the volunteer activities
to the ages of the children. We offer the children a chance
to work in a "farm" environment, but with animals who are
rescued and not destined eventually for slaughter.
