Get a Warm Welcome From Farm Animals When You Visit This Sanctuary

Since 1986, Farm Sanctuary has been providing tender loving care for farm animals. Animals used for food production are rarely given individual care on factory farms, so the sanctuary decided to initiate a program for the good treatment of farm animals.

“Our shelters have accumulated a wealth of farm animal care information, obtained through research, experience, and hands-on work. We are continually adding to our library of information as our caregivers and veterinarians explore treatment options and discover new care information,” reads their website.

The organization operates the largest farm animal rescue and adoption network in the US. When their shelters are full, they ask help from the public who want to share some love for a suffering animal. Since then, they have rescued more than 3,000 farm animals.

Farm Sanctuary also offers tours of their shelters in New York and California. The animals love visitors and you will definitely love spending time with them.

“You’ll see animals experiencing joy and freedom for the first time in their lives. At our three shelters, rescued residents are given the care and love they need to recover from abuse and neglect. All of the animals enjoy nourishing food, clean barns, and green pastures each and every day.”

Happy 3-year Rescue-versary to Ruthie Turkey! Ruthie’s story began when she was just a baby for sale in a feed store, where she was incorrectly labeled as a chick and purchased by an unsuspecting customer. We’ll never know just how it happened, but Ruthie had somehow gotten mixed in with a group of chicks. It very quickly became apparent to her new guardian that she was no chick, however, and was in fact a very fast-growing turkey poult. Fortunately for Ruthie, her guardian wanted to make sure she’d have a happy and safe future, filled with all the best things life has to offer for a turkey. In the end, Ruthie’s guardian contacted Farm Sanctuary, and we agreed to take her in. It was impossible not to fall in love with this energetic and friendly girl, and she quickly stole the hearts of everyone at the sanctuary. She now spends her days scratching in the yard, dust-bathing, eagerly anticipating feeding times and treats (blueberries and watermelon are some of her favorites), and enjoying belly rubs! 💚 #SomeoneNotSomething . . . . #friendsnotfood, #eatplants, #farmsanctuarylife, #farmsanctuary #thepowerofsanctuary #rescueanimals #rescue #animalrescue #rescued #iloveanimals #animallovers #animaladdicts #loveanimals #animallover #animaladdict #bekindtoanimals #animalsofinstagram #animalsarefriends #instaanimals #thefarmsanctuary #ilovefarmsanctuary #turkeysofinstagram #animals
