Rescue & Adoptions

Home Adoption & Placement

Farm Sanctuary operates the country’s largest farm animal rescue and adoption network. Every year, we assist with urgent placement needs — particularly in cruelty cases involving large numbers of animals. When our shelters are full, we depend on compassionate people who want to make a direct difference for a suffering cow, pig, chicken or other farm animal. Since 1986, nearly 3,000 needy farm animals have been given a new beginning — thanks to people who care enough to join our FARM ANIMAL ADOPTION NETWORK (FAAN).

Thunder had been living at Nevins Farm, a shelter for animals in Massachusetts. Thunder had many human admirers, but he had no cattle herd to call his own. Because of the kindness and generosity of two Farm Sanctuary members, Thunder was brought to our New York Shelter. Read more about what happened when he met our cattle residents.
