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.

Farm animals aren’t so different from the dogs and cats we love...

They feel joy, form friendships, and want to live full lives—just like we do.

Choosing plant-based is one simple way to show them kindness. 💚

She...

Flops over for belly rubs
Has a favorite spot in the mud
And runs when she hears the snack bucket with her favorite treats

She’s someone, not something. 💚

Don't you think the U.S. should follow Switzerland’s lead?

This summer, Switzerland became the first country in the world to require food labels that tell consumers if animals were subjected to painful procedures without anesthesia or pain relief.

This groundbreaking law means people can finally see the suffering behind products, which will hopefully lead to more informed consumer choices.

What's the U.S. waiting for?

"I’m a dog person." "I’m a cat person."
Okay, but where are our chicken people!? 🐔

Meet David Bowie — a chicken with headliner charisma who’s guaranteed to steal your heart. I mean, LOOK at that hair!? 💚

By sponsoring Bowie, you’ll not only support his daily care here at Farm Sanctuary but also help us advocate for the billions of farm animals still suffering in our food system.

Just a reminder that lambs need their wool more than we do. 💚

This video of Evan catching raindrops on his tongue might be the cutest thing ever, but his story didn't start out this happy...

As a male born into the dairy industry, Evan was labeled a “waste product" because he couldn’t produce milk, and that meant no long-term profit. Calves like Evan are often sold for veal or cheap beef, even when they’re sick. Some farmers even abandon their care because those costs outweigh the profit they would bring in.

Thankfully, Evan was rescued. He received the treatment he needed and eventually made his way to a loving home at JP Farm Animal Sanctuary (), part of our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN). Thanks to FAAN, we can place more animals like Evan into safe, caring homes — because no single sanctuary can do it alone.

At JP, Evan has the freedom to enjoy his life. All farm animals deserve an ending like Evan’s. 💚

George was born at a petting zoo, a place many associate with fun family outings and cute interactions with baby animals, especially during the fall and winter holiday seasons.

The unfortunate reality of petting zoos, though, is that they aren't as fun for farm animals as they are for humans. Animals in petting zoos are often separated from their families within weeks or months, and as they grow up, they're slaughtered for food or bred to produce more babies and repeat the cycle.

Farm animals are usually only valued for what humans believe they can give us, like food, clothing, or the enjoyment of a momentary meeting at a petting zoo.

But for the rest of George's life, he'll be valued and loved as the unique individual he is. 💚

We love this video of former Farm Sanctuary residents Otis and Freddie giving — and receiving canine kisses!

These pals are living the dream at Peacefield Farm — a member of our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN). This nationwide collective helps us secure more loving homes for farm animals in need than one sanctuary could care for alone.

Rescue is just the beginning. 💚

When animals arrive at our sanctuaries, they deserve more than safety—they deserve a fulfilling life, and that's where enrichment comes in! Enrichment lets animals explore, play, and be themselves, like Gary the goat here learning to drive!

Your donations and support don’t just save lives—they help ensure every animal here gets to live their best life.

This is why we don't eat animals. 💚
