Central Texas Pig Rescue

Meet pigs &amp; help out with chores at CTPR for the day!

Welcome friends of Xtra and all of the ATX drag community!! We're SO EXCITED to have you folks out to the Enchanted Pig Forest!This is your opportunity to meet some amazing animals, some pretty nice humans, to be in a gorgeous forest, to do some much needed chores around the property and to help facilitate brunch for the pigs!Brunch with the pigs is something we typically only do with our Animal Care Team, but Xtra is our pal, and we wanted to help celebrate the start of Pride Month with something XTRA special!Info about the event and what to expect is below. You can also expect to get an email from EventBrite with details on our location and other information after registering.The pigs can't wait to meet you!🐽==========Become a Volunteer with CTPR! We are an all-volunteer run organization, so your time and effort are so important to caring for our residents!<h3></h3><h3>About the Volunteer Workday</h3>Volunteer Workdays are a fun way to interact with the pig residents of Central Texas Pig Rescue in the Enchanted Pig Forest! Our workdays are approximately 3 hours long. During the event, you will learn about CTPR, our residents, and how great and amazing pigs are. You will also perform various chores, as needed. You'll be working right alongside the pigs, and will have tons of opportunities to give them love and belly rubs!Supervised children who are at least 10 years of age are welcome, and we highly encourage prior conversations about animal meeting etiquette, though we too will go over the basics of meeting the pigs as well. If you have children under the age of 10, we recommend attending one of our other onsite events (such as SnoutFest, Watermelon Smash Bash, Pumpkin Smash, etc.) or one of our public tours.This is a workday; you will get dirty! Please be prepared for the elements, and bring along weather-appropriate gear (hats, sunscreen, jackets, rainwear, etc). Be sure to wear clothes, work gloves, &amp; footwear that can get dirty, as you will experience poop, mud, and dirt!You can attend as many Volunteer Workdays as you'd like! We hold 1-2 per month. This is the perfect opportunity for people who don't want to commit to the full requirements of the Animal Care Team, but want to hang out with pigs and help out!***Each person who plans to attend the Volunteer Workday event must fill out this registration. For minors 17 and under, this form must be filled out by a parent/guardian and the minor must be accompanied by their parent/guardian for the event. One form for one adult and one minor is fine.***<h3>How does our Volunteer Program Work?</h3>If you'd like to join our Animal Care Team, you'll need to attend either 3 volunteer workdays or arrange to shadow one of our experienced Animal Care Team members during one of their shifts. After you've attended 3 Volunteer Workdays or "shadow shifts", you'll be eligible to attend our Volunteer Orientation to become an official Animal Care Team Member. Animal Care Team Members come out to the rescue in flexible shifts, are responsible for keeping up with team communication, and perform critical tasks on their own!<h3>Treats for Pigs:</h3>Acceptable snacks for pigs include: pumpkins, watermelon, apples, carrots, squashes, celery, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, strawberries, and bananas. Please check with a CTPR team member before passing out snacks. Please avoid: potatoes, stone fruits, avocados, or any fruits/veggies with a pit. Please do not bring foods with added salt. Please remove all labels/stickers and please do not bring single-use plastic on site as bags can easily get lost and are a hazard to our free-roaming donkeys and goats.CTPR is an all-volunteer, all-donation-based organization, and so all purchases of tickets are non-refundable, tax-deductible donations.
