Home adopters make all the difference, especially with cruelty cases involving large numbers of animals. When our shelter facilities are full, our ability to provide emergency rescue and care of abused farm animals may depend entirely on the number of safe, caring homes available. People are often surprised to learn that caring for cows or chickens is similar to caring for dogs or cats. Most farm animal care needs are as simple as trimming your dog's toenails. And like all animals, farm animals will also need a suitable companion and appropriate shelter.
Farm animals respond to love and affection the same way a dog or cat does.
Pigs roll over for belly rubs at the touch of your hand. Cattle enjoy being brushed and pampered. Turkeys love to be gently stroked, just like cats. If you are interested in opening your home to a needy farm animal, please write for an adoption application and farm animal care sheet. To receive an adoption application for a Home Adoption , please contact Farm Sanctuary in New York or California.
