Education is so important to our sanctuary! Besides for infographics you see in our posts, we also have informative cards that we hand out at events such as the card seen here. Many people have never been challenged to rethink the pigeon and not listen to the myths about them.

Do you ever feel like you know exactly what job your pet would have if they were a human?

You can argue with me all you like but I KNOW Pete would be a traveling salesman. He's got that cheeky demeanor but with the calm collectedness of someone who has seen all types of people and yet loves the strolls from door to door to meet the next person. Also, he would look excellent with a briefcase don't you think.

What would your pet's occupation be?

After being soaked in oil at just a few weeks old, Potion was found starving and weak. He was so skinny at the time that he could no longer support his own weight and couldn’t stand. After many baths to get the oil off of him and slowly starting to build up his nutrition and weight, Potion was able to stand and walk again. Soon he was strong enough to even go out to the aviary and immediately began having fun with the other pigeons. After a molt, you could barely believe his true patterns!

Potion was one of the lucky birds believe it or not. Many birds are abandoned and put in harm’s way. Unfortunately, the vast majority aren’t recognized by people that they need help or by the time the are spotted it is too late. Through your support of our sanctuary, Potion was able to get help though.

During our Crap Back! Campaign, we are having you crap back at people and things that are not nice such as those that put animal’s in harm’s way. How it works is you donate $5 or more if you’d like to help us care for amazing birds like Potion and we have write the name of your choosing on a puppy pad for our indoor bird’s cages. They do their business on the puppy pad and we send you back a picture of the puppy pad and the lovely pigeon that crapped on the name for you.

Will you Crap Back! on cruelty to animals and donate to help birds? Link in bio

Here are some things that pigeons want you to know. ❤️ Did you not like pigeons and have changed your view? Please let us know in the comments below. No worries, this is a safe, judgement-free zone. #pigeonlove #pidge #changeyourview #birdsonearth #dobetterbebetter #birdsanctuary

Have you ever spoken to your pet and had them cutely tilt their head? Well, pigeons do the same! With their eyes being on the sides of their head, a head tilt helps adjust their angle of sight to get a better look at you and gauge distance more accurately. Head movements also help them localize the source of your voice. Curious and intelligent pigeons learn to associate your voice with food or positive interactions. 😊 #pigeonsofinstagram #allaboutbirds #birb #birdbehavior #pigeonlife #birdloversclub

Pigeons are so incredible yet many don't see them this way! But thanks to you, things are changing for them. More and more media seems to be highlighting their brilliance. Part of our mission is educating about pigeons and how wonderful they are so that we can work to change people's negative opinion on pigeons and create better welfare for all pigeons as a result. You can support this work! Please consider sharing this post or donating to our 12 days of giving campaign to support our rescued pigeons. #pigeonsanddoves #pigeonsanctuary #pigeonlove #pigeons #dreamingofachance

Pigeons are one of the most misunderstood and mistreated species out there. Bred and abandoned by humans, they’re left to struggle in environments they’re not equipped for. Please be kind—every life matters! 🕊️❤️ #animalwelfare #birdstagram #rescuebirds #bekind #birdies #paloma #columbidae

Welcome to Dreaming of a Chance!

Hi everyone, Tiff here – thank you for joining us. We are so happy that you get to be part of our sanctuary family! If you don’t know already, I am the president and founder of Dreaming of a Chance Farm Animal Sanctuary right here in Pleasant Valley, NY. I would love to tell you a little bit about who we are, what we do, and how you can make a difference.

I myself am an animal lover who has been rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need for years on my family’s farm. I have dedicated my entire life towards helping animals in need and am currently working to become a farm animal veterinarian so I can do more. Working at a sanctuary and on my farm, I became aware of how many animals are out there in need of homes. My farm was contacted frequently to see if we could take in unwanted pets or help rescue animals. Over the years, my family and I adopted/rescued over 50 animals needing a home. Working at the sanctuary, I saw an opportunity to not only be able to help more animals in need, but also give back to the community while doing so. With the help of an insane amount of coffee and some fabulous people, we made this dream become a reality.

So what do we do you may ask? The answer is actually quite simple. We are the place that poultry that need a home end up at. People don’t realize how often birds get put in terrible situations. We have seen far too many cases of abuse and unwant and even more of neglect and abandonment situations. We seek to take in as many birds needing a home as our capacity allows and provide them with lifelong care and the rehabilitative means they often need to live their best life.

For the first few years, we want to remain poultry focused. As we grow and gain more support, we hope to be able to expand into rescuing other types of farm animals in need while still having a heavy poultry focus. We hope that you will continue with us on our journey of making a change one life at a time.
