The only type of “sandwich” including pigs and a turkey we would ever get behind! Gloria and her besties Marty and Ollie napping together in the sun in a perfect fall day cuddle puddle!

Tell us this isn’t the sweetest thing ever!

Coco, Bear, and Lucille, safe and loved forever 💜

YOU GUYS. We need you to understand that our Cornish Cross hens are legitimately obsessed with Noah Kahan. Seriously, please watch this funny video—we have receipts!!!!

Joddie and Victoria discovered this while playing music during the girls’ therapeutic foot soaks. Other artists? Restless hens hopping out, flapping wings, complete chaos. Switch to Uncle Noah? They are snoozing, preening, relaxing, having themselves a spa day.

And there’s actually some fascinating science here! Research shows that chickens can distinguish between sounds and that music can influence their behavior and stress levels.

We may never know what it is about Noah that our girls find so soothing and irresistible, but we love how clearly they’re communicating what they like!!! Chickens have preferences, personalities, and opinions of their own. Imagine what we’d learn if we gave more of them the chance to show us!!

Noah Kahan , we know you’re playing football stadiums next summer, but any chance we could interest you in a slightly more intimate venue? Say, a chicken coop in Maryland? Your fans are VERY devoted. 💜🐔🎶🤣🤗🥰

In your heart of hearts, wouldn’t you rather see Bear tucked into bed than on a dinner plate?

🍂 We are hosting a fun fall festival for a very special member of the Rosie’s family, and we’d love you to join us! 🍂

Mira has some significant veterinary care ahead of her, and we’re hoping you’ll help us raise the funds to get her the answers and treatment she needs.

On Saturday, November 14, we’re hosting Mira’s Fall Fest, an afternoon of pumpkin painting, co****le, games and prizes, delicious vegan fall treats and drinks, and, of course, quality time with the animals at Rosie’s.

It’s a chance to enjoy a beautiful fall afternoon at the sanctuary while helping us care for one of its most beloved residents.

Saturday, November 14 | 1–3 PM
$80 per ticket | Just 21 spots available

We’re hoping to raise $2,500 toward Mira’s veterinary expenses, and every ticket brings us closer. Bring the kids, bring a friend, or come on your own. We’d love to see you there.

🎟️ Reserve your spot: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/miras-fall-festival-tickets-2004200286007?aff=odcleoeventsincollection

November is here, and Gloria has officially been put in charge!! 🦃💜 Which seems only fair, considering how much we humans still have to learn about turkeys.

They’re intelligent, curious, deeply social birds who form friendships, seek affection, recognize familiar faces, and have wonderfully distinct personalities. And yet, for so many people, the only time we really think about turkeys is when they’re on the Thanksgiving table.

So this November, we’re giving Gloria the floor. We hope you’ll spend a little time getting to know these extraordinary birds through the eyes of someone who knows what it means to be loved, protected, and seen as an individual (and respected as a Boss Turkey Spokesperson 😆).

It’s never too late to start a new tradition. Especially one that allows someone else to keep living!!!

A little firsthand LEAP 1 internship experience, courtesy of the amazing elif ! 💜

There’s a lot more to sanctuary life than hanging out with adorable animals (though that’s certainly a perk). Our LEAP interns work alongside our team, get to know our residents as individuals, explore the connections between animal welfare and the environment, and take on new challenges that build confidence, leadership, and a sense of responsibility for the world around them.

We love seeing what happens when young people are given the opportunity to ask big questions, do meaningful work, and discover their own capacity to make a difference.

Thank you, Elif, for sharing your experience and letting us see a little of Rosie’s through your eyes!!!

Happy World Vegan Day! 💜🌱

It’s never too late to try—for the planet, for your health, and for the countless animals whose lives are every bit as precious to them as ours are to us.

A little more compassion on our plates can make a world of difference!

🎃✨ Our Halloween wish for you: May your treats be vegan, your tricks be clever, and may you find as much joy in the little things as a Rosie’s resident with a fresh pumpkin!!!!! ✨🎃

Happy Halloween from all of us at Rosie’s, where the pumpkins never stood a chance.

Gorgeous photos by our wonder friend and supporter, Kathy Milani 📸🧡
