At Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary, we believe every animal deserves safety, respect, and the chance to thrive. Based in Hart County, GA, we rescue and provide lifelong sanctuary to many animals big and small—with an emphasis on pigs—while working to keep animals with the families who love them through outreach, education, and support services. As a plant-based family living alongside rescued animals, we’re building a compassionate world where all beings are seen, valued, and free.

Our Mission
Walt's Rainbow Bridge 5k
Run, Walk, or Ride for Remembrance
A Virtual 5K Fundraiser:
Saturday, Nov 8th, 2025
Join us for Walt’s Rainbow Bridge 5K, a virtual event where love and remembrance bring us together across any distance. Inspired by Walt, the gentle giant pig whose joy and kindness touched so many lives. This 5K is a way to honor not only his legacy, but also the memory of the loved ones we each hold close in our hearts.
Because this is a virtual 5K, you can participate from anywhere in the world, in any way that feels right to you. Walk, run, bike, swim, hike, or even roller skate your 3.1 miles.
Each step is a tribute, each mile a memory, and together we’ll create a global wave of compassion stretching across the rainbow bridge.

– Keep the Gates Open for 400+ Rescued Animals
​
Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary is home to over 400 rescued farmed animals, mostly pigs but also cows, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits guinea pigs and more.
Many came from cruelty, neglect, or abandonment. Here, they receive lifelong sanctuary, proper medical care, and love.
​
Right now, times are incredibly tough. We are literally fundraising for every bill we pay from vet visits to food deliveries. Without immediate help, we cannot cover urgent medical bills, keep the food flowing, and tackle the debt draining resources away from our animals.
​
That’s why we’re launching the $60,000 in 60 Days Campaign to stabilize Outsiders, secure the future, and keep every animal safe.
This fundraiser must be successful to secure our sanctuary's future and continue our mission.
Walt's World & Merchandise
Our wonderful Walt has left us.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Walt, our cherished giant teddy bear of a pig.
Though he fought valiantly against the odds and received exceptional care from UGA, his body was simply too weary to heal.
He will forever remain in our hearts and actions, continuing to inspire us to make the world a better place for sentient beings.
​
We will honor his spirit with our Walt's World Compassion in Action Community Programs, providing free pet food, human food, and vet care for local pet owners in need.
Home to over 400 rescued animals, Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary is a place where compassion meets action. From providing critical medical care to building safe, enriching spaces, we work every day to ensure each resident—pigs, chickens, cows, and more—receives the respect and care they deserve.
​
Join us in creating a more compassionate world through your support, whether by donating, volunteering, or sharing our mission. Every act of kindness helps us continue this vital work.
