In this Episode of The Pet Pig Podcast we talk with Maddie Johnson. Maddie is an Emmy-winning producer and animal rescuer living in the San Francisco area with what she calls her “farm-ily”(her dogs, pigs, chickens, and a llama) alongside a constant rotation of foster animals. Maddie specializes  in animal and rescue rehabilitation and uses her following to find these orphaned animals loving forever homes. She has managed to help save 100 animals last year which included puppies, kittens, dogs, lambs, piglets, bunnies, alpacas and even a baby cow. Maddie has appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Dodo, Animal Planet, and People Magazine to talk about her “farm-ily” and rescue work. She has raised over $100+ for various animal rescues. In discussing her mission, Maddie says, “My passion is creating tanimal-centric content that is genuine, wholesome, charming, uplifting, and often educational. I’m equally as passionate about using my large platform to connect people with animals or sanctuaries in need, fundraise on their behalf, and then track/celebrate the outcomes of those donations with our followers.” By sharing their rescue transformations and silly animal antics, Maddie and her farm-ily hope to spread joy and foster a kind, caring community to their 100K+ followers. The following episode is meant for educational use only. If your pig gets a hold of and eats rat poison, please consult your vet as soon as possible for the best solution. Not every treatment is acceptable, available, or appropriate for every pig parent. Please work closely with your vet. Maddie grew up with animals and horses and got her love of animals and rescuing animals from her dad. She rescued Pickles as a very young piglet and has learned so much since getting him. The rescue of Pickles has turned into so much more and led to Maddie writing a book of Pickles story and has now made her farm-ily her full time job. She has grown her social media platform and that enabled her to do even more for animals in need. She loves to share her stories and let people take away the lesson they want from her stories.
