Homeless farm animals aren’t usually something many people think about. But each year, an overwhelming number of farm animals find themselves in need of shelter due to a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, most cat and dog animal shelters are not equipped to handle farm animals, and there just aren’t many people eager (or equipped) to adopt a full-grown cow or pig. Sadly, most homeless farm animals face a very grim future.
We are working to change that.
Our farm animal sanctuary offers rescue, care, rehabilitation services, and lifetime sanctuary to farm animals in need. When possible, we place animals in loving, permanent homes. And we serve as a resource for shelters and county agencies around the state who request our assistance with farm animal abandonment and cruelty cases.
Meet Heartland’s dedicated team! Some of us care for our rescued farm animal residents and some of us provide humane education and therapeutic services to our community. All of us carry out Heartland’s mission of inspiring compassion for all.
Your tax-deductible donation to Heartland Farm Sanctuary allows us to care for farm animals in need and operate our unique people programs that inspire compassion for animals, the earth and each other.
