Rescue, education, and advocacy for farm animals.
🐄🐖🐐🐑🐓🦃 Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization and the first farm animal rescue in the United States.
(6075)

Since 1986, we’ve been dedicated to changing the world for farm animals. Here, we know them as sentient beings worthy of compassion and care, not just commodities. Through collaborative efforts, we can create lasting change and pave the way for a brighter future for farm animals everywhere.

The only difference really is our perception!

Each year in the U.S., over 600 million turkeys are farmed in our food system—46 million during Thanksgiving alone.

Most people never really spend time around a turkey, so they don’t get the chance to see how amazing, loving, and affectionate these birds really can be—just like dogs! When turkeys are treated with kindness, their personalities really shine through.

You can help change Thanksgiving for turkeys this year when you Adopt A Turkey with Farm Sanctuary! Your one-time gift of $35 will help provide lifelong care for your turkey, plus you’ll receive a certificate to show off at the Thanksgiving table!

Once upon a time, two lambs on the lam, Sarah and Clare, were found wandering together in a New Jersey suburb. We'll never be sure where they came from or how they lost their way, but we're grateful they found their way to sanctuary!

These sisters are Jacob sheep crosses, which are usually used by humans for meat, textiles, or ornamental value. But at sanctuary, we see them for who they are!

We're so happy to have these besties together with us! 💚

Tutu was born on an industrial farm where she was set to be one of the 46 million turkeys killed for Thanksgiving. An art student rescued Tutu to share her story, but when the school wouldn’t let a turkey stay on campus, Tutu found her forever home with us at Farm Sanctuary!

Lovingly nicknamed the bestie, Tutu is known for being a yapper—but as much as she loves to hear herself talk, she loves to listen to her friends, too! She’s the friend you can call on whenever—if you just need to gossip, talk about random topics, or be a shoulder to cry on.

Turkeys like Tutu deserve so much better—especially during the Thanksgiving season, and you can help make a difference with your one-time gift of $35 to Adopt A Turkey!

When you symbolically adopt, you’ll support your turkey's daily care while helping us protect billions of farm animals from cruelty and fight factory farming.

To show our gratitude, we’ll send you (or whoever you surprise with an adoption!) a print or digital certificate with your turkey’s photo and story—plus a shareable video and graphic!

Diane and Honey were rescued from the dairy industry, where, year after year, they were repeatedly impregnated and had their babies taken away from them after birth so humans could drink their milk instead.

Today, they have each other. Cows form best friendships and express comfort through grooming, and seeing Diane and Honey care for one another like this means everything. 💚

MAJOR NEWS: Denver and D.C. just voted to ban foie gras!

Last night was a huge win for animals because voters in Denver and D.C. passed historic ballot measures to end the cruel production and sale of foie gras.

On foie gras farms, ducks and geese are force-fed through a tube put down their throats until their livers become swollen by up to 10 times their natural size, resulting in disease and immense physical trauma.

By rejecting this cruelty at the ballot box, residents in both cities proved once again that compassion can overcome industry interests.

A massive thank you to all the voters, activists, and volunteers with Pro-Animal Future who made this happen! Wins like this show that when people come together, we can end the abuses of factory farming and build a food system rooted in compassion!

How can you not LOVE turkeys?! Just in case you already didn’t… here are 7 things about turkeys we bet you didn’t know! 🦃

At Farm Sanctuary, the turkeys in our care live differently than those still suffering in our food system. Here, they’re free to engage in natural behaviors like dust bathing, foraging, sunbathing, and even have the opportunity to make friends. But despite their sweet nature and charm, most turkeys will never experience this.

In the U.S., over 46 million turkeys are slaughtered just for Thanksgiving each year, with over 99% coming from factory farms. On these farms, turkeys are subjected to cruel conditions like debeaking, de-toeing, and cramped conditions that spread disease or can lead to death from suffocation.

The turkey on a plate for Thanksgiving dinner never got to spread their wings in warm sunlight and was slaughtered at just around 14-20 weeks old, a fraction of their 10-year lifespan. Isn’t it time to rethink how we show gratitude?

When you support Adopt A Turkey, you’ll not only help provide care for your turkey and our other rescue animals, but also help us continue to create change for animals, people, and the planet.

Meet Galadriel, “The Dreamer!”

Galadriel once called another sanctuary home, where she was promised safety and comfort—but her experience was, sadly, the opposite. There, Galadriel was denied the proper shelter, food, and veterinary care a turkey needs to thrive. Thankfully, now Galadriel lives at Farm Sanctuary, where her lifelong care is promised.

Known for her zest for life, Galadriel is an outdoorsy explorer and the ultimate adventure buddy. She’s a dreamer who finds magic in every moment and the friend who never turns down a chance to explore the world around her.

Turkeys like Galadriel deserve so much better—especially during the Thanksgiving season, and you can help make a difference with your one-time gift of $35 to Adopt A Turkey!

When you symbolically adopt, you’ll support your turkey's daily care while helping us protect billions of farm animals from cruelty and fight factory farming.

To show our gratitude, we’ll send you (or whoever you surprise with an adoption!) a print or digital certificate with your turkey’s photo and story—plus a shareable video and graphic!

If we say we love animals… shouldn’t we live like it?

Veganism is love in action — for the animals, the planet, and ourselves.
