Ari is quiet and shy, unlike her twin sister Winnie!

Bella is sassy and independent, but loves snacks! Cucumbers are her favourite!

Benjamin is our youngest and smallest bovine.

Bentley mostly likes to keep to himself, except at bedtime. He likes to snuggle with his friends Kevin and Bella.

Betts is one of our best behaved pigs. She gets fed in her own private area because she eats so slowly.

The notorious BIG! This guy has the best smile and sweetest disposition.

Bitsy used to be a bully around GLO but has chilled out a lot as she has gotten older.

Joseph is a really funny guy. He likes to display his plumage of feathers and demand folks admire his beauty.

Boris is our smallest pig but has the biggest personality. He loves everyone he meets!

Calvin is often complaining, even about things he likes. We think he loves the sound of his own voice!

The official Sanctuary Babe. Chauncey came to GLO as a wee piglet and has only known love — and it shows. She is a brat, in the best way!

Corky is best friends with Bitsy and these two were the first potbelly pigs to arrive at GLO in 2016!

Garth is a very shy, timid guy who has never learned to trust humans. His best friend is Wayne.

Gary is one of our oldest pigs and loves to spend time with his BFF Kevin (OG).

This jughead is an absolute gem. He is calm and sweet and loves to make faces at new people.

Initially found as a stray, Bonnie now spends her days with her own flock including Meg, Lois and Russell Crow.

This funny little man was our third pig to call GLO home. He takes napping very seriously and if you disturb him will scream very loudly to let you know he disapproves.

This perfect boy is part Sharpei, part aardvark and all love!

Lani — the queen of selfies. No other sheep loves to see themselves on camera as much as her.

Lois is a feisty lady who can hear a snack from a mile away. And when she does, she comes running!

Maria is often heard before seen. She is VERY loud and spends her days demanding snacks from humans and attention from Martin, who she is sweet on.

Everyone's favourite gentle giant. This guy is serious about everything, especially his love for Patricia. She is his #1 gal.

Meg is a riot and often up to something. She is the smallest hen but rules the roost.

Mel B (for Baah) is a very loving girl. She is best friends with Lani.

Classic Patricia. She is our oldest bovine, who turned 22 in 2025. She is determined and knows what she wants — mostly affection from Martin.
Beauty without grace — that is Pixel. She is a walking calamity and finds trouble wherever she goes.

Rosie was our matriarch who passed away in February of 2025 at the age of 29.

Russell Crow sometimes finds snacks for his ladies and calls them over to partake. Sometimes he calls them over just to eat those snacks in front of them. Meg doesn't mind; she loves him anyway.

Poppy is one of our special needs pigs. She has a lot of physical disabilities, but is overall a feisty little pig.

Harvey is a big boy for a potbelly pig. He towers over the other pigs but seems blissfully unaware. Being born deaf means he has a lot of miscommunications with other pigs, but he is getting better!

June, aka Mama June, was previously used for breeding. She lives here with the only child she got to see grow up — Orville.

Mary, the most beautiful swamp monster you'll ever see. Rescued from a life of breeding and neglect, she is now free to sit with the sun on her face — a pleasure she had not known before life at GLO.

Orville, son of June and Harvey, is big like his dad but oh so shy. He used to stick close to his mum but is now branching out and making friends, like Corky.

Bruce is a calm, quiet pig, except at meal times. Coming from severe neglect, he enters a fight-or-flight frenzy at meal times, which can mean trouble for those around him.

Mac is an independent, quiet guy. He has a few close friends like Oscar and Olive but otherwise keeps to himself.

Pixie is one of our biggest transformations. Unable to walk when she first arrived due to her obesity, she is now slim and trim and never stops moving around!

Rodney, aka Rod the Bod, is a whole new pig! He was once obese and fat blind and now spends his days roaming the fields and snuggling with his BFFs Hank and Mary.

Oscar is a confident pig who likes to explore his surroundings. He also has a great smile which he is eager to show off.

Olive and Poppy are best friends, though sometimes it looks more like frenemies. They are often found snoozing together in the warm sun.

Hank, aka Hank the Tank, is super chatty and the top of his herd. He knows what he wants: food and belly rubs. Nothing else matters.

Ted was the best bad boy that ever existed. Diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and given weeks to live, he shared four spectacular years with us before we said goodbye in February 2025. He truly was the GOAT.

Wayne is in a world of his own and looks at life from his own perspective — perhaps why he is often found lying upside down, gazing at the sky.

Winnie is Ari's twin sister and very different. She believes humans make the best scratching posts — along with trees, walls, doors and anything else she can rub on!
