Broome Animal Sanctuary

Broome Animal Sanctuary BAS is an animal sanctuary for unwanted farm animals whose lives are threatened. We have started to live our dream of running an animal sanctuary.
(11)

We raise awareness of factory farm atrocities while promoting a happier healthier and more humane way of life between humans, animals and the environment. We are Greg and Tony, a couple together 30+ years who both have a lifelong passion to help animals. We’ve rescued 100's of animals and have always said that we would retire to a farm where we can focus on our rescue efforts full-time. In Decemb

er of 2013 we purchased 25 acres located in the Town of Broome in the Catskills in upstate New York, the Heart of the Schoharie Valley. It includes a large barn secured by 3 acres of fencing and a few smaller structures that can be converted into climate-controlled shelters. Currently, the property is home to 31 pigs, 4 cows, 12 goats, 11 sheep, 2 alpaca, a rabbit, and many more. We are devoting our lives to improving the lives of these animals. They are no longer in danger of ending up in a slaughter house. We are committed to raising awareness of factory farm atrocities while promoting a happier healthier and more humane way of life between humans, animals and the environment.. We hope you will join us in our mission to raise awareness of the plight of farm factory animals. Farm animals are very intelligent and emotional creatures not to be exploited. We are their guardians and protectors. Choose compassion.

Remembering Our Beloved John

Just a few days ago, we said goodbye to John’s brother Roger… and heartbreakingly, overnight last night, our sweet John passed away peacefully in his sleep.

John had been receiving palliative care for the past month, and like his brother, he was part of the “Queen” goats, the herd we welcomed from New York State when they ended their nearly four decades old lead testing program. These boys came to us, already seniors and are between 16-20 years old, and until recently they lived healthy, happy lives here at Broome Animal Sanctuary.

The past few days, John surprised us all with a beautiful upswing. He was standing again, waiting by the door to go outside, eating with enthusiasm, and enjoying his orange and berry flavored treats. And for the first time in their nearly decade here with us, he leaned into the gentle touch of kind human hands. It was as if he wanted us to know he felt safe, loved, and ready.

Last year, we lost his brother Brian to cancer. Last week, we helped his brother Roger cross the Rainbow Bridge. And now, John has joined them, reunited with the brothers he loved so deeply.

Our hearts are with Freddie Mercury, who is now without all his brothers for the first time in his life. We will do everything we can to support him through his grief and help him feel safe and loved.

For the last six years, John knew only compassion, comfort, and kindness. He left this world knowing love, kindness and compassion, something every animal deserves.

Fly high, sweet John. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you.

Happy 3 Year Gotcha Day, Saoirse!

This past weekend we celebrated our sweet girl Saoirse’s 3 year “Gotcha Day” anniversary at Broome Animal Sanctuary, and what a journey it has been.

For those who don’t know her story: a concerned neighbor reached out to us about a pig who had been left in the basement of an abandoned house, tied to an oil tank with only a few feet to move. When we called the local animal shelter and sheriff’s department they jumped into action to help us get her to safety and medical care immediately.

At Cornell, she was diagnosed with a chronic shoulder injury that had already begun to heal naturally, so surgery wasn’t required at the time. She will always have a lame shoulder and may need surgery in the future, but she has never let that slow her down.

Fun fact: The Cornell student assigned to her case when she first arrived has since graduated… and as fate would have it, he is now her regular veterinarian, Dr. Shirky. Talk about a full circle moment.

We are forever grateful to everyone who helped rescue Saoirse from such a heartbreaking situation. She had been slated for a santeria sacrifice. Today, she knows love, kindness, safety, and friendship instead of fear and abuse.

Happy Gotcha Day, sweet Saoirse. Here’s to many more happy and healthy years together.

Jackson is quickly fitting in now. I think tomorrow will be a full day out with everyone. I am too busy with work today to keep a close eye on him, or today would be the day.
