Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization and the first farm animal rescue in the United States. Since 1986, we’ve been dedicated to changing the world for farm animals. Here, we know them as sentient beings worthy of compassion and care, not just commodities. Through collaborative efforts, we can create lasting change and pave the way for a brighter future for farm animals everywhere.
We seek out and take in those who no other organization will help or would simply euthanize because they are too expensive to heal. We rescue the abandoned, beaten, bred, fought, injured, terrified, defeated and betrayed. The minute they enter our doors, we look in their eyes and promise them ALL the second chance they deserve for health, home, commitment and love, no matter the time or cost.
The Gentle Barn is a national nonprofit organization specializing in the rehabilitation of rescued animals and connecting their stories of survival and healing to the personal experiences of inner city, at-risk, and special needs children who have suffered physical, mental, or emotional trauma. By interacting with our animals and taking a hands-on role in their welfare, those who participate in our programs learn empathy, trust and forgiveness. Our mission is simple: Inspiring Kindness and Compassion towards Animals, Our Planet, and Each Other
