Sponsor a Farm Animal
FFAS’ shelter animals are in need of loving “parents” to sponsor their monthly feed, shelter, and veterinary care costs. Our Sanctuary animals are available for sponsorship through our Sponsor a Farm Animal Program. By participating in this program, you help provide the necessary support to care for a rescued farm animal and defend all farm animals against cruelty.
To sponsor a farm animal today, choose the type of animal and monthly donation that is right for you then click the associated link to be directed to our donor page. We ask sponsors make a year-long commitment to a shelter animal and make monthly, quarterly, or annual payments. In return, you will receive a sponsorship certificate with a color photograph of your sponsored friend, and other benefits depending on your animal. Private tours to visit sponsored animals can be scheduled during visitor season and otherwise as staffing permits. You may also wish to consider sponsoring a Farm Sanctuary animal for your friends and family as a special gift sponsorship.

Our latest rescues
Dilly
Dilly is a Pekin duck who was rescued from the auction. Pekin ducks are raised for meat and are bred to grow extremely quickly into very large birds. Because of this, I’m just a few months, then can develop problems in their legs because their bodies are so heavy.
Iris
Iris is a female Pekin duck. She was being sold at an auction. When we brought her back to FFAS, we thought we would try putting her together with Murray, one of our special needs ducks. It was love at first sight!
Daisy and Lily
Daisy and Lily are a pair of young Pekin ducks that we saved in 2022. They are living a wonderful life here at FFAS with our crested ducks Sonny and Georgie.
Flora’s Sisters
Willie when we saved him
Look at Willie now!
Poppy
Poppy is a Rouen duck that was near death from suffering a horrific raccoon attack. His owners wanted him to get the best care possible so they surrendered him to FFAS.
We brought him to our emergency vet and they performed surgery on his head, neck and bill.
Poppy recovered well and was able to bond with our other ducks.
He is loving his new life at FFAS.
Murray
Ocho
Minnow & Guppy
Fauna
Georgie and Sonny, our crested duckling rescues:
These crested ducks were discarded pets that were said to be “too messy and too much work”. They were just babies when we quickly brought them to our Sanctuary to live the rest of their lives safe and free from fear.
See how they’ve grown beautifully…
