A safe, welcoming space for
people and farm animals.

At Heartland, we provide specialized care to rescued farm animals, offer empathy-based humane education programs and provide experiential therapy for young people in partnership with our animals to create a mutually supportive space for healing.

Our mission is to inspire compassion for all beings.

Our Rescued Residents

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.
