What we aim to solve
Farmed animals — including horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and cows — are bred and raised in compromising conditions, often lacking proper shelter. When given shelter, it is in the form of cramped cages or shelter that lacks proper ventilation, heating or cooling. Many are physically altered without anesthesia, force fed, or not provided with reasonable medical interventions when they are sick or injured, among other horrific conditions that are currently commonplace.

FFAS Rescue and Recovery
FFAS focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating abused and neglected farmed animals. Those animals include cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese. Our operation fills a great need since there are a so many more organizations that focus on dogs and cats, but very few that specialize in farm animals.
FFAS takes in farm animals that have has been removed from a situation of abuse, neglect or abandonment. We also rescue animals from livestock auctions and slaughter houses. In some situations, we will take in owner surrenders if the owner is no longer able to give the animal proper care. We also have collaborative relationships with other rescue organizations and work with each other. We also will work with authorities to rescue animals that are victims of natural disasters in any area of the United States.
