Eleven years ago, rescuers found Nik living under a tractor-trailer in freezing December temperatures.

He had escaped a nearby farm in August and survived for months on what little grass he could find. His “pasture” was a rocky field covered in thorns, rusty equipment, and trash—unsuitable for a calf, let alone any animal.

As an early winter set in, the ground quickly froze, snow arrived, and Nik’s only food source vanished. To make matters worse, locals spoke enthusiastically about slaughtering the calf for veal. They saw him as a product when he was really a baby in need.

Thanks to the hard work of our rescue team, Nik never met that fate. After a 10-hour rescue mission, our team brought him home to sanctuary. Here, he’ll always be loved and cared for.

Without rescue and sanctuary, Hayes would've been killed for meat as a byproduct of the dairy industry. Now, he has a beautiful life at sanctuary.
He's free to run, jump, play, and explore; to graze and lounge in the sunshine; and he's loved for who he is — not what he can produce.

We'll never forget the heartwarming moment Lulu and Min experienced snow for the very first time, safe at sanctuary. ❄️

This is why we do what we do—all animals deserve a life filled with love and joy.💚

Bonnie’s journey is a testament to resilience. 🥹

Four—month-old Bonnie watched her family be loaded, one after another, onto a truck for slaughter. But she made a brave dash for freedom and was on the run for nearly a year. Bonnie even found comfort in a herd of deer who accepted her as their own.

A kind human cared for Bonnie and provided her with fresh food and bedding daily, but she knew Bonnie’s woodland fairytale couldn’t last forever. So, she contacted us for help and we brought Bonnie to Farm Sanctuary.

Now, Bonnie’s found her forever herd and her brave soul inspires us all!💚

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

The unfortunate reality, though, is that petting zoos are not all fun and games for farm animals. Typically, they do not receive the same level of enjoyment in return; within weeks or months, they are often separated from their families and either
slaughtered for food or bred to produce more babies to repeat the cycle.

Most farm animals are 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 his life, George will be valued and loved for the unique individual he is. 💚

Five cold winters ago, Leigh tumbled from a transport truck heading from a dairy farm to a veal processing plant.

This traumatizing accident saved his life and brought him to Farm Sanctuary.

Leigh is one of the lucky ones — and his story is of resilience:

Like humans, cows are emotional creatures! They form close relationships and even have best friends, preferring to spend time with certain individuals over others.

When separated, they become stressed — so they prefer to stay side by side with their BFF and show each other love through affectionate grooming. 💚🐮🫶🏻

When you drink cows' milk...

Their babies can't. 💔

Choose dairy-free.
