Help Us Name Our New Potbelly Pigs!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of three new potbelly pigs at The Gentle Barn Missouri and we need YOUR help naming them! Recently, we rescued a mama pig named Dottie Ann and her baby son Jordan. We always do everything we can to keep families together, so when we discovered that Dottie Ann had three daughters, we began working to rescue them as well. Now, the whole family is reunited at The Gentle Barn Missouri! We are creating customized healing plans for each pig, including eye care, skin care, hoof trims, healthy foods, treats, Sun Chlorella superfood, and of course, lots of belly rubs.

These three pigs still need names, and for that, we need your help! For every $25 bale of hay you donate, you will receive one entry into our pig-naming drawing! The more bales of hay you donate, the more chances you have to see your chosen name become a part of The Gentle Barn family.

Naming Is Now Closed & Name Will Be Announced Soon

Thank you all for your support and participation.


Your support is vital as we recover from a recent storm that washed away a truckload of hay. Every donation helps us recover and continue providing top-notch care for our rescued animals. Ready to make a name suggestion? Donate today and help us welcome these newly rescued pigs with love and care!

Disclaimer: We are unable to accept any names that are offensive to animals, derogatory, or the same names as our current animals living in our sanctuaries. Any such names will be removed from the running and the donations will be nonrefundable, kept towards the care of our animals and The Gentle Barn's mission.
