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.
(1)

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.

Our hens Tweety Darl’n and Bianca have been admitted to Upstate Animal Medical Center for supportive care. X-rays do not show anything out of the ordinary.

Poor Bianca has an abscess that has made her blind. She will be sedate and have it lanced. She wil remain hospitalized for wound care and supportive care.

Tweety Darl’n will be getting acupuncture, PT, fluids and other supportive care.

Yesterday we had to rush Brian to Cornell. Poor fella went down and was struggling to get up and walk. He is stable and for the most part his bloodwork is not alarming. A few of his values are slightly elevated, and he is being given morphine to make him more comfortable. Orthopedics did an initial physical exam on him, but this morning he will get a much more in-depth exam.

Brian is part of the group of goats that we named Queen (Freddie, Roger, John and Brian). They were surrendered to us by the State of New York. They were part of a lead-testing program. We don’t know and will never know if they were ever exposed to lead, but due to how they were handled they have never been comfortable around humans. They allow us to hand feed them and sometimes they enjoy a good scratch on their heads, but as soon as they realize a human hand is touching them, they seem to have a flashback and back away.

Queen free range with the other goats (Brownie and Gryff) and the pigs so they have lots of animal friends to socialize with.

Two weeks ago, we hosted the Broome Animal Sanctuary Gala at the The Cornell Club in New York City. During the event we recognized the recipient of this year’s Wattles’ Legacy Appreciation Award, Dr Joy Lucas of Upstate Animal Medical Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. Unfortunately, Joy was unable to attend, but her staff from UAMC were able to join us as our special guests.
I was able to catch up with Joy at her clinic yesterday to express our gratitude and thank her in person for all she does for Broome Animal Sanctuary and so many other sanctuaries, rescues and shelters in the Northeast.

When Wattles passed away, we decided that each year in his memory we would acknowledge and honor a person(s) whose attributes embodied Wattles’ Legacy, kindness, and compassion and Dr. Joy Lucas encompasses all of these and more. Providing medical care for animals is not her work, it is her passion. We have had the privilege of working with Joy for almost a decade, and thanks to her kindness and generosity we have been able to save many lives. To say Joy goes above and beyond is an understatement, but she does.

On behalf of the entire Broome Animal Sanctuary organization, we are very happy to acknowledge Joy as this year’s Wattles’ Legacy Award Recipient.

Once a Wattles’ Legacy, Always a Wattles’ Legacy.
