2.   What happened to Seeded Faith Farm Rescue?

Nothing! Seeded Faith Farm Rescue still exists, it just now operates under the new name Rooted In Love Rescue. The name “Rooted In Love” pays homage to our original mission, reflecting the comfort and security pigs find through rooting. This name better aligns with our goal to provide a safe, healing, and loving environment for pigs and all farm animals in need. While our name has evolved, our dedication to rescue and rehabilitation remains as strong as ever.

We’ve collected our answers to the most common questions we receive. We hope this page will provide answers to some of the questions you may.

Is Rooted In Love Rescue open to the public?
No, Rooted In Love Rescue is not open to the public. Our focus is on providing a safe, low-stress environment for our animals, and public visits can sometimes disrupt that. The farm is also private property and our home, so unless otherwise specified, it remains closed. However, we occasionally hold community events, special announced gatherings, and outreach programs, such as
Healing Hooves
, which invites special needs students to visit the farm, meet the animals, and experience compassionate animal interactions.
What kinds of animals do you take?

We intake farm animals such as mini pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and equines like horses, ponies, and donkeys. Occasionally, we also accept exotics in need of a safe place.

 

We are not a shelter and do not take in dogs and cats. Additionally, due to space and funding limitations, we cannot meet the needs of “meat” breed animals, such as bovine and hogs, and cannot accept them. We also do not accept wild animals, though we are working toward becoming a certified wildlife rehabilitator.

Do you need help with transport, events, or fundraising?
Yes, we always in need of support with transport, events, and fundraising! Transport assistance is especially valuable, helping animals reach new homes, attend veterinary appointments, or arrive safely at foster placements. Community events are essential for spreading awareness about our mission, and we rely on volunteers for setup, planning, and sharing information about our rescue work. Fundraising is crucial, as every contribution directly supports the care, feeding, and medical needs of our animals.

Can Rooted In Love Rescue bring animals to community events?
Yes! Through our Hearts & Hooves Outreach program, Rooted In Love Rescue brings animals to select community events to connect with the public and raise awareness about our mission. These events offer a wonderful opportunity for people to meet our animals, hear their stories, and learn more about farm animal rescue.

Hearts & Hooves Outreach
 page or contact us directly—we’d be happy to discuss details and explore ways to work together!
What do you do with the animals you take in?

We provide each animal with a safe, nurturing environment where they can recover, heal, and feel secure. Depending on their needs, animals may receive veterinary care, rehabilitation, and socialization to help prepare them for adoption. Our goal is to place each animal in a loving, forever home where they’ll be well cared for and cherished. For those who may not be adoptable due to health or other factors, we offer a lifelong sanctuary where they can live peacefully. And NO they are never used as food!

How do I adopt?
To adopt from Rooted In Love Rescue, start by filling out our adoption application, which helps us get to know you and determine the best fit for both you and the animal. Once your application is reviewed, we’ll reach out to discuss any additional steps, including a possible home visit and any specific needs the animal may have. After approval, we work with you to arrange transport or pick-up.
