Humane Education

Through our humane education camps, field trips and classes, participants of all ages learn to foster compassion and respect for all living beings and see farm animals through a compassionate lens. By learning how we provide sanctuary, enrichment and high-quality care to our rescued residents, kids develop skills to be compassionate, problem-solving members of their own communities.

"Our daughter attended several camps through the summer and the fall. She adores Heartland Farm Sanctuary...Having her spend time outside, connecting with nature and animals in a warm and positive environment, has been such a great experience for her, especially during the pandemic when everything else that she is used to is different. She comes home happy and excited and full of information to share. We couldn’t be happier."
- Gillian, Camper parent

Our Rescued Residents

Heartland has been recognized as one of the nation’s premier farm animal sanctuaries. We provide high-quality, specialized care, hope and healing for animals who have suffered abuse, neglect, and have nowhere else to go. Many of our rescued residents experience safety and compassion for the very first time after walking through our sanctuary doors.

The vast majority of rescued animals who find hope at Heartland will remain at the sanctuary for their entire lives. When possible, we place animals in safe and loving 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.
