Adoption and Placement
Farm Sanctuary offers the following placement services for farm animals:

1. PLACEMENT E-MAIL ALERT: A weekly placement alert is sent to all members of our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN). All members of our FAAN project have successfully completed an adoption application and process. Due to the large volume of placement requests, this is a ONE-TIME placement service option.

2. PLACEMENT BULLETIN BOARD: Bulletin placement listings are posted on our website for 60 days. If the animal(s) are not placed after 60 days, the placement listing will remain on the bulletin board if room is available. Please notify Farm Sanctuary at: shelter@farmsanctuary.org if the animal(s) are placed to make room for additional placements.


To help facilitate placement requests, we ask you to complete the PLACEMENT FORM and indicate if you would like to use the E-mail Alert, Bulletin Board, or both placement services. Please note, that since placement notices are on the internet and can be widely distributed, you should confirm that any individuals who contact you can provide a suitable and appropriate lifelong home for the animal(s).

Since Farm Sanctuary placement alerts and postings may be forwarded throughout the web, we strongly encourage you to confirm whether someone is a member of our Farm Animal Adoption Network before placing your animal(s) with anyone. You can find out whether someone is an approved Farm Sanctuary FAAN member by calling our placement coordinator in New York at 607-583-2276 ext. 266 during normal business hours or emailing: placement@farmsanctuary.org.

When we found out that a relative was planning on putting their pet ducks out on a pond or giving them to a petting zoo, we rushed to take them ourselves. However, we will be moving before the end of the year into the city, and so need to find the ducks a permanent home. They would do best living near a pond or lake so they can go for swims, but a large kiddie pool also works well. There are two boys (Pippin and Mathias) and two girls (Marjorie and Susannah). They are all 1 year old, hand-raised together since chicks, and quite friendly. We can provide a covered kennel, small house for protection at night, and all supplies.

Ducks are 1 year old Blue Swedes, healthy and tame. The two boys have begun squabbling over the two girls, so they would do best with large yard or separated in pairs. We will provide a 10x10 kennel, 4x4 house, and all supplies. We can also provide transportation.

All are friendly, have nice personalities, and are in need of a home that is experienced with goats as I have more goats than I can properly care for. (Angora goats are much milder in temperament than other breeds of goats) If needed to place in a good home, would be willing to pay to have the buck surgically castrated. Can transport within reasonable driving distance. Located in central NJ. Looking for good permanent homes, so they do not end up at slaughter.

A close friend passed away unexpectedly last week leaving a 600 pound pig named Wilbur orphaned. He was rescued from the Marin Humane Society when he was 3 months old and he has been treated like a pet for ten years. I hate to see this dear animal's life ended in a slaughter house - which is what everyone has advised. He loves pumpkins, tomatoes, watermelon and French bread in addition to his regular pig grain.

He is a healthy, 600 pound pig with a great personality - neat and clean (loves to clean his pen every Saturday by removing all of the old hay and carefully arranging the clean hay).

I rescued these chicks when they were just hatched. They were lying on the pavement on their backs nearly frozen to death. It was 17degrees outside and there was no hen anywhere to be found. They are really tame and would make great pets. I cant keep them because where I live it is not legal. If I return them to where I found them they will be killed for sure. The chickens are collected from this place and killed and tame ones would be the first caught. Also, it is not safe for tame chickens at this place. They need a safe, loving home. I will deliver if necessary.

We are in a drought and short on hay and grass and I am being forced to start thinking about finding him a home which does not end up at the slaughter house. He would appreciate living with another bovine. He loves to be scratched and loves apple/oatmeal treats.

Pot Belly Pig, female, approx 5 years old, needs good home. Friendly, but occasionally bites. Likes cats & chickens, but doesn't like dogs & horses. She prefers men to women and adults to children.

We rescued her after she was abandoned 2 years ago in an industrial area where she was wandering around eating garbage & people were feeding her cat food. We are moving and can no longer keep her. We tried to place her with the Pot Belly Pig Assoc, but they said they cannot place her because she bites. She does not attack, but she will bite if she if frightened and you are close to her. She gets aggressive with treats, so they have to be limited. She weighs about 180 lbs and we have tried to help her to lose weight with good Pot Belly Pig food and fruit for treats, but she seems to maintain the weight that she has been for the past 2 years. She is a nice pig and may do well with some professional training. She listens and will back off quickly and easily when told to do so. She likes to be brushed and will lay on her side to let you brush her belly.

Hello, my name is Clarissa Jo Evans, and live in Copan, Oklahoma. I currently own two pigs, one is a crossbred named Cross The Sky(Cross), and the other is a registered Berkshire nick-named Twiggie. I've slept, played, kissed, and even got in the mud with my pigs, and I really love them to death! Anyhow I'm sure you know at the end of the show season most of the pigs are sent to slaughter, well my parents are only letting me keep Twiggie and I really want to find a forever home for Cross. She is very sweet, and doesn't bite and is also very smart. I can put my hand in her mouth, and she is so gentle she won't even try to nibble! I believe at mature weight she will probably be between 600-800 pounds. I really don't want to see her sold for slaughter. If you have any questions e-mail me back please!!! I really don't want to see the pig I've raised sense she was a baby turned into to meat!!!

*Note - She cannot be used for breeding because she has problems with her hocks.

Here are some pictures of her...

Stressed Out Rabbit Needs New Home

Nelly Momblan

Phone, day: 510-472-6508

I have a rabbit that has become stressed out in my home because of two overly rambunctious dogs. I have tried separating them with a baby gate, but they've learned to get past it. The bunny is now in my guest room where she is lonely and does not get much socialization. Occasionally one of the dogs gets in there by accident and this has caused her to become even more stressed out, to the point where she won't let me pet her anymore without some convincing. If you can take her into your home please give me a call. She is healthy and pretty well socialized except for the fear of dogs. She is not spayed right now but she has an appointment to be spayed next weekend. I will not adopt her out until she is spayed.

Charlotte was given to a friend when her mother died. She bottle raised her from birth and because of all the attention she received, she is incredibly sweet, loving and friendly. When she hears someone, she immediately runs over, grunting away for ear and back sratches. She lives on a ranch in a nice pen, by herself. She's happy but maybe a little lonely. It would be ideal to find her a home with other pigs. She is very large at this point so she'll never be a little pot-bellied indoor pig but she's a real doll and would make a wonderful addition to any farm. She'd follow you around like a dog all day.

Two Jerseys- mother and daughter- and a holstien. Can all go together or be separated though we'd like to keep mom and baby together. All up to date on shots and vet care. Can travel. Been well fed and cared for with no health issues since rescue in 5/01

These three were part of a well publicized rescue (newspaper articles available) from a private owner in NY who starved, mutilated and killed many animals before being caught and prosecuted. These cows and the rescues with them were half starved and very scared of people. The baby used to climb in the hay ring to hide. In the years since, the mother and holstien have come to be able to pet on and hand feed treats but the 'baby' does not like to be pet though she will approach and come close to you to check things out. Due to a serious (person) health issue, we've had to relocate from 40 acres to a smaller lot that won't support all of us. We MUST be sure that the cows will be kept safe and part of a farm environment never to be used for meat purposes as they are like part of our family. Please call if you have interest and we'll be happy to answer any questions.

"Charlie" was turned in by his owners when they lost their home in the Malibu fires this past fall. He's VERY friendly but suffers from a "gimpy" leg which the vet thinks may be due to a nutritional deficiency. He currently lives part time at the vet and part time in the back yard of our shop but....he needs a human family, and would love the companionship of some hens, too!

Three Roosters Looking For New Home

01/19/08

E-mail: kyra1@earthlink.net

Three roosters are living in a vacant lot in Pittsburgh, PA, next to the school where I teach. The lot actually belongs to the school board, so erecting a chicken coop is out of the question. The roosters are in desperate need of a properly equipped home where they can live out their lives as pets. The city is no place for them, and they currently have no shelter available where they can escape the elements.

We have no idea how they came to live on our school grounds, but no one in the neighborhood (aside from our faculty) has been caring for them since last spring.

They are good-natured roosters. They get along very well with each other and they graciously tolerate the few of us who feed them. We've named them Rob, Chip and Ernie. Their ages are unknown.

I have photos available here: http://www.ghoulnextdoor.com/roosters.html

The pictures don't really do them justice. Two of the roosters are white with faint black spots, and the other is a beautiful golden color. If I can get better photos, I'll post them on that web page.

We are all very concerned about their health and welfare, particularly now that the weather has gotten so cold. They're not lacking for food, but they desperately need shelter and a safe space to be roosters. Ideally, we'd like them to stay together, but we'll be happy if any one of them gets a proper home. We do NOT want these guys to end up on a dinner plate. They are PETS, and as one teacher put it yesterday, "they have become the soul of our school."

If you can give these roosters a home, please e-mail me at: kyra1@earthlink.net or call the phone number I've listed here.

Thank you!

Lucy and Angel are two friendly potbellied pigs. They are both unaltered females. At about ten years old, it may be unsafe to spay them, so they must go to a home where they will never be bred. The smaller one is about 110 pounds, and has a limp, which should be treated regularly with pain medicine. The larger one is about 160 pounds, and should be put on a diet to lose about 20. They both have been fully vetted, and their feet are good.
