The Hearts On Noses sancutuary was started in 2002 by janice Gellett with her first pot bellied pig "Willy", a unkempt stray she discovered on the property when she moved in. in Janices own word's "her passion for helping animals started long ago".
" I guess it all started back when I realized what that black ball of fur was curled up on our living room carpet. I loved you smokey! My life has always had animals in it, from saving bird fallen from nests to the hamsters my brothre had, and of course every kitten I could find skipping home from school. Who would have thougt that little black pig who I found running around the property I just moved into would be the start of one of my biggest love affairs. After all this a pig not a cat , dog or horse which is why I moved here in ther first place. In all my life in every birthday candle wish it was horses I dreamed about. Long flowing manes, tails flying in the wind the shear grace and beauty of them captured my heart. It was not whispered from my lips as I blow the candle out that I really wanted a big, black grunting spoiled and cheeky black pig. I love you Willy, More then you know....
