Another sanctuary closing its doors…

We are grateful to share that five sheep and seven ducks have just arrived at Sweet Farm, from yet another sanctuary that was recently forced to close its doors. While we wish every sanctuary could continue this important work, we are honored to be a safe landing place for animals in need.

In just the past three years, we have taken in more than 70 animals from closing sanctuaries.

Each rescue requires careful transport, thorough veterinary evaluations, and ongoing care to ensure these displaced animals can truly recover and thrive. These first steps alone are costly, and they add up quickly…and we now have to provide care for these beautiful creatures for the rest of their lives.

It is always heartbreaking when rescued animals must be displaced again, especially after they have already endured so much. There is an immense need for safe homes for animals, and sanctuaries everywhere are under extraordinary strain. As more rescues and sanctuaries close or struggle to stay open, the sanctuary community is in crisis — and Sweet Farm is doing our part to help by stepping up for animals who need safety, stability, and compassionate care.

That means arranging transport, scheduling necessary vet exams, and covering the costs that come with welcoming new animals into a safe forever home. These expenses add up quickly, and they often arrive all at once. Your support helps make sure we can say “yes” when animals have nowhere else to go.

Help us welcome Pax, Willow, Nicholas, Marla, Annabelle, Lily, Bobbi, Hamilton, Clover, Margaux, Bodhi, and Shanti to their new forever home.
