Hercules’ Haven provides a forever home to unwanted farm animals that have been surrendered. Animals may come from local shelters, industrial farms, or other rescue groups. On the property, there is a winterized shelter and quarantine space. The Haven relies on its staff, volunteers, and monetary donations to support its mission.
They made the farm into a place of healing for both animals and people.
Hercules' mother had a litter of five piglets and she abandoned three of them. Of the three, Hercules was the only one to survive. He was definitely a mascot of sorts here but, sadly, passed away from a congenital heart defect sometime after his second birthday. However, his legacy lives on at the Haven!
