The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

Adaptability Statement
30 out of 30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
While originally planning to only rescue and provide a forever home to mini pigs (pigs under 400 lbs), we became aware of two farm hogs that needed rescuing. Each of these hogs will grow to roughly 800lbs in size. We mobilized our fundraising efforts to obtain monies to construct a large fencing / shelter area that can properly house two farm-sized pigs.
