Katie is the kind of mom we all flocked to as kids: she’s warm, welcoming, and treats everyone like family. Sadly, sheep like Katie rarely get to express their maternal instincts. She’s a Katahdin, and her partner, Kevin, is a Barbados Black Belly—two breeds often raised for meat. In fact, their previous guardians bought them […]| Farm Sanctuary

Rescue Story| Farm Sanctuary
This March, five baby birds got their lucky break. Arriving just a day apart, two poults (baby turkeys) and three peeps (baby chickens) escaped cruelty and joined new flocks at Farm Sanctuary. We learned about the turkey poults, Ferris and Faye, through a call from Christine of Second Chance Chickens Microsanctuary in Northern New Jersey. […]| Farm Sanctuary
Every year, businesses across the country cash in on Easter by selling baby rabbits, chicks, and ducklings as novelties. Hundreds are purchased impulsively and treated as disposable goods. Once buyers recognize that these “holiday accessories” have real, long-term needs for care and space, many of the animals are dumped at over-burdened municipal shelters, abandoned on […]| Farm Sanctuary

In 2022, a woman inherited a Vermont farm, a quaint property with a tall red barn housing ten cows. Because she wasn’t a farmer herself, she was advised to send the cows to slaughter. Instead, she reached out to Farm Sanctuary.| Farm Sanctuary
By Gene Baur, President and Co-founder Earth Day started in 1970 in response to growing awareness and anxiety about the negative environmental impacts of human activities on the planet.

Sadie had no business being in the business world. The young goat was born on a property owned by a sand and gravel company. She and her herdmates descended from goats once provided as gifts, who then were left to freely breed. For the most part, workers went about their day, leaving the goats to […]| Farm Sanctuary
Rita was just a few months old when an accident claimed part of her foot—and very nearly, her life. At the time, the Black Angus calf lived with her mother on a beef-breeding farm in central New York. Her life would have followed one of two paths: slaughter for beef at a young age, or […]| Farm Sanctuary

On October 12, 2019, we left Farm Sanctuary before sunrise with a team of six, driving more than four hours towards a property in Hobart, NY, where we were scheduled to pick up two cows and a steer. Little did we know, this rescue would end up taking more than 32 hours. It’s rare that […]| Farm Sanctuary
Pregnant, terrified, and alone, Olive cow spent four months in the woods after escaping the cruelty of the dairy industry.| Farm Sanctuary
We see cases like Dixon’s all too often: too many calves lose their families and their lives, just for being born male. He, like so many others, started life on a dairy—where females grow up to produce milk for profit, but where males have no place. Typically, farmers sell these boys, who have no economic […]| Farm Sanctuary

Our rescued residents have a lot of heart. Before coming to Farm Sanctuary, these animals faced the very worst of humanity.

At the same time, she feared her time with them was fleeting: Mia lived on a squalid pig farm, and had likely lost other piglets to starvation and slaughter in the past. Still, she fumed at the prospect of more needless goodbyes, and barked and charged […]| Farm Sanctuary

Now that they were gone, only Biscuit remained. He was huddled alone and trembling with fear.| Farm Sanctuary
Most farm animals never get to know their families. In today’s animal agricultural systems, farmers instead profit on keeping them apart. They take calves like Dixon away from their mothers in order to sell the milk that was made for them. Other animals, like Grace goat, lose their babies to slaughter and eventually face the […]| Farm Sanctuary
