He was all alone and clinging to life, desperate for the comfort of his mother. Just when Harrison was about to give up hope, he was rescued … Dear Neil,Awful scenarios like this one play out day after day,the cries of the forgotten souls often falling on deaf ears.But Farm Sanctuary hears their pleas - and we come to their rescue. We make a lifelong commitment tothese animals, a commitment of a better tomorrow. The Rescue & Refuge Fund is the foundation of that promise, funding the daily shelter care of rescued farm animals. Please, send a gift to the Rescue & Refuge Fund today and provide a happy ending for rescued farm animals.With more than a dozen housing barns, hundreds of acres of pasture and round-the-clock attention, Farm Sanctuary shelters are internationally recognized for quality care, as well as for our rescue, rehabilitation and placement efforts. With your help, we have been able to respond to urgent cruelty casesand provide rescue and shelter services for thousands of abused and neglected farm animals. This critical work must continue, and we can’t do it without you.Farm Sanctuary’s dedicated shelter staff - which includes cleaners, feeders, placement staff, caregivers,and live-in emergency on-call staff - provide for the ongoing needs of the animals, maintain our extensive facilities, and continue to respond to an overwhelming number of new calls to help animals in urgent need.Caring for the more than 1,000 farm animals at our shelters requires enormous resources. We use 450 tonsof straw for bedding and $80,000 worth of hay to feed our sheep, goats and cattle, and all the feed, medical care, infrastructure, and animal care needs for our rescued residents will amount to more than $1.5 million this year.This is why we so urgently need your support right now.
