Our Story
Located at Hippie Chick N Farm in rural south Georgia, Flying Pig Animal Sanctuary is a grass roots 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary and currently home to 75+ animals. Originally Hippie Chick N Farm planned to be a small hobby farm with chickens for eggs and bees for honey but when we were asked to rescue a tiny piglet in March 2014 we spiraled into a farm animal sanctuary and decided to get our non-profit status in 2019.
Autumn Skye, founder and Director of FPAS, takes pride in running and managing the full time care of all the sanctuary residents with the help of a few faithful volunteers including her teens, Gavin & Summer.
The eclectic menagerie of rescue animals currently includes 20+ pot bellied pigs, 4 farm pigs, 20+ chickens, 7 goats, 11 cats, 6 dogs, an unknown amount of rescue fish, Reya the Rabbit, Princess Buttercup the Duck, Sheldon the Turtle, Petra the Peahen (female peacock), and Papaya the Parrot.
Flying Pig Animal Sanctuary wholeheartedly believes in spaying and neutering; every single animal on the farm is fixed or will soon be fixed with the exception of avian, fish and reptile residents.
We are extremely passionate about animal rights and the environment and strive to live a humane, compassionate and eco-friendly lifestyle, while always looking to improve. Recycling and composting are staples to our lifestyle, which is why we are continuously re-purposing and reusing materials. We have a small organic garden that we are constantly expanding with the goal of providing regular produce to all FPAS residents.
Each resident has their own story; many of which came from situations of neglect and/or abuse or abandonment. Once at FPAS, they become part of the family and are treated with love, kindness, compassion and respect. Every animal that comes here will know true sanctuary.
We are a federally registered 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary located within the state of GA.
