Julien & Émilie
We are two humans who chose a different path. In the heart of rural Creuse, France, we built a refuge for those who had nowhere else to go.
Our home is their home. We share our land, our time, and our lives with pigs rescued from slaughter or abandoned, goats save or abandoned by farms, dogs left behind, and cats no one wanted.
This is not a job. This is how we live.
Why Memorials?
Survival cannot depend on luck.
We replaced the uncertainty of charity with a predictable engine.
"Survival requires certainty. Hay must be bought, and health must be secured—every single day. Life cannot wait for the right moment."
— The Reality"Your tribute does more than look back—it turns their memory into a vital force for the living."
— The PromiseSanctuary Memorials transforms your tribute into something tangible: food, veterinary care, shelter repairs, and the daily life of the sanctuary—both for the animals and for us, the two humans who dedicate everything to them.
Adopte un Groin
Many people adopt pigs without understanding their needs. When life changes, they often have nowhere to turn.
Adopte un Groin is our answer: we help families find new homes for their pigs, provide training so adoptive families are prepared, coordinate emergency relocations, and ensure every pig finds a place where they are safe, loved, and cared for.
We believe that integrating farm animals into family homes normalizes them as the companions they truly are—not commodities.

Training New Families
Radical Transparency
Every dollar has a destination.
Server hosting, image processing, storage. We built this lean.
Hay, vet bills, shelter repairs, food for the animals—and for the two humans who care for them.
No shareholders. No investors. Everything flows back to the mission.
The sanctuary is our life, and your tribute sustains it—the animals, the land, and the two humans who wake up every morning to care for them all.
Changing Minds, One Home at a Time
We believe the future of animal welfare isn't just about sanctuaries—it's about shifting how society sees farm animals. When a pig lives in a family home, loved like any dog or cat, something changes. The line between "pet" and "livestock" begins to dissolve.
Every memorial, every adoption, every pig who finds a family—
brings us closer to that world.
