An animal sanctuary in Leesville, South Carolina, is asking for "Piggy Cuddlers" in order to help socialize their neglected pigs.

Cotton Branch Farm Animal Sanctuary is a safe haven for abandoned, abused, neglected, and elderly pigs.

"While there are many shelters and rescue organizations for animal companions such as cats and dogs, and wildlife, there is a lack of sanctuary for pigs. We exist to help those animals," the nonprofit says.

Cotton Branch recently posted a Facebook advertisement in search of "piggy cuddlers" to help socialize their pigs in order to help them get adopted.

"Do you want to help make a huge difference in the lives of the pigs of Cotton Branch? Come help socialize our adoptable residents so they can move into our adoption program with ease!

Belly scratches, cookies, sitting with, and even just talking to our pig friends can get them ready for their new home."

The popular ad caught the attention of Kelly Clarkson, who interviewed the sanctuary's founder Joshua Carpenter Costner.

"We were really shocked by the response," he said, adding, "We realized that so many people are just looking for uplifting stories right now."
