Piece of Peace Animal Sanctuary was founded in 2005 and is a non-profit 501 C3, tax exempt organization. The sanctuary was conceived by taking custody of the animals at a previously privately run organization called Piggy Pals. Although Piece of Peace Animal Sanctuary will be rescuing and fighting for the rights of Pot Belly pigs like Piggy Pals once did, it will also open its doors to the many other types of animals it is capable of sustaining. Although the sanctuary will focus their efforts torwards farm animal issues, it will not be limited to those issues.
