The Kansas City Pig Rescue Network (KCPRN), established in 2017, has made significant strides in animal welfare by rescuing over 600 pigs. Located at Willeyville Farm in Cleveland, Missouri, in Cass County, the nonprofit is run entirely by volunteers who focus on rehabilitating pigs that have been abandoned, abused, or surrendered. Many of these animals were left in parks, along roadsides, or given up by owners unaware of the care required for pigs. The organization not only rescues these animals but also fosters them until they can find permanent homes. Kayli Houk, the president and co-founder of KCPRN, emphasizes the importance of providing a safe environment for these pigs, many of whom have suffered trauma. The farm also features unique areas like the Howdy Pen, where pigs can roam freely. The network continues to raise awareness and promote adoption through events, including meet-and-greets with the pigs, to encourage community involvement and support.
