Rescue Stories

Carlee is someone, not something. She is not a lamb chop. She is not merchandise. And she is certainly not a gift to be thoughtlessly bestowed on an unprepared child.

Officers who stopped a truck in Glendale, CA, in early October thought they had a routine traffic violation on their hands.

We almost didn’t meet Jane. Last week, she was on her way to slaughter, along with dozens of other “broiler” chickens.

When animal advocate and Legacy Society member Barbara passed away, she left her estate as a legacy of love to help Farm Sanctuary's work to protect farm animals.

Chandini was among the thousands of animals who are transported into New York City every year to be sold at its many live markets.

Just days before they would have been transported to slaughter, a flock of more than 300 hens from a Pennsylvania egg farm got a ride in Farm Sanctuary’s state-of-the-art rescue van instead.

Semper Paratus, “always prepared,” is the motto of the United States Coast Guard. Based on recent events, we think it would be fair to add “even for a lost baby goat.”

By now, the staff at Animal Care & Control (AC&C) of NYC knows who to call when a farm animal is captured or confiscated in the borough.

When one door closes, so they say, another opens. This, however, is rarely the case for abandoned farm animals.

Close bonds between family members, flockmates, and friends abound among the animals at our shelters.
