Mission

The Barnyard Sanctuary’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome farm animals that are displaced, abused or whose caregivers are experiencing hardship by providing them with a safe, loving and nurturing home. We will facilitate the adoption to families which will be able to to provide a forever home. For residents those who require special care, The Barnyard Sanctuary will provide sanctuary for the natural lifetime of the animal.

Notes from the nonprofit

13 years ago that I founded The Barnyard Sanctuary, with the simple goal of helping people who needed to rehome their pet farm animals. Initially, we were taking in farm animals whose owners experienced illness, financial difficulties, zoning issues and loss of their homes due to foreclosures or divorce. As the word got out, local animal control officers, the NJ SPCA and other authorities turned to us to help with their farm animal cases. It was then that we learned about the world of farm animal cruelty. Our eyes were opened… our hearts were broken… and we became advocates for the animals and living a plant based, cruelty free lifestyle. Since opening our doors, we have saved the lives of over 3,500 farm animals! Today, approximately 300 farm animals call us home. It is amazing what we have been able to accomplish in just a short period of time. It is this journey that shapes our vision of the future.
