My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rambo was actually how we first learned about this little family of pigs we lovingly call the ‘Kerhonson 7’. We heard that there was a pig who kept getting out from their pen and going onto the road and then when we asked a few more questions, we learned that there were actually a whole family of pigs who needed our help. Rambo may have been the first of the family to come to Wayward, but it wasn’t very long before the rest of the family joined him!

Rambo isn’t the most social of his family (that title rests with a 3-way tie between Juliet (his mother), Sarge, and Tango) but he definitely is the most playful out of all of them! He loves to play with his toys and will even pretend to be a turtle in the summer - flipping over a pool and then carrying it around on his back like his own shell. How else could he make sure he constantly has all the shade he wants?!

He can be hesitant around new people, but once he warms up to you, he’ll try to include you in all his games! He’s not much of a cuddler, since that would involve staying still, but he’d rather play anyway!

He, as well as the rest of his family, are litterbox trained, so any combination of them would have an easy transition into their new home, whether that’s as inside or outside pigs!

If you are interested in adopting Rambo and another of his family, or just want to learn more about them, you should head over to our website, waywardranch.org, where you can learn all about them and find the adoption applications there too! Rambo is up to date on his vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
