Jenny was found on the side of the road, locked in a small pet crate. A rescuer found the frightened, overheated piglet and brought her to a friend’s home to nurse her back to health. As Jenny got bigger—and more adventurous—the guardians struggled to keep up with her care. A family member suggested they send Jenny to slaughter, but they couldn’t do that to someone they loved! Now safe at Farm Sanctuary, Jenny is a happy, friendly pig who loves receiving attention, exploring her pasture, and napping in her warm and spacious barn with her new family.

The world used to be a dark and scary place for Biscuit. After losing his family to slaughter, the blind sheep retreated to a corner of his barn and passed the time alone. Then, a visiting teen found and befriended him. Knowing Biscuit would also face slaughter soon, she asked to take him home instead. They loved to play and cuddle together—but she sensed that Biscuit needed sheep friends, too. So, she asked if Biscuit could come to Farm Sanctuary. Today, he’s a sweet and bouncy boy who loves to play with his new friends—whether rearing up for gentle headbutts or relaxing side by side in the sun.

Paula was supposed to be a “dairy cow.” When she failed to conceive before her second birthday, her owners considered sending her to slaughter. (It would cost more to keep her around than they would make from a cow who was not making milk.) Around the same time, however, Paula’s right eye was injured and needed to be surgically removed. The vet empathized with Paula and asked that she be sent to Sanctuary. Here, Paula is a social, caring member of her herd who loves to plant big kisses on her new friends and be groomed by them in return!
