Barn Sanctuary

Mission: To rescue farmed animals and inspire people to embrace a plant-based lifestyle.

Barn Sanctuary was established in 2016 in Chelsea, Michigan in pursuit of a lofty goal to change the way the world views farmed animals by rescuing, rehabilitating abused and neglected farmed animals in need. Barn Sanctuary provides a loving home specifically for farmed animals because farmed animals are the most abused and neglected group of animals in the world. Barn Sanctuary is home to over 100 rescued farmed animals including: cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, sheep, and goats. Every rescue at Barn Sanctuary is treated as an individual, deserving of empathy and respect.

We rescue farmed animals from cases of abuse and neglect. We provide them a safe haven where they may live out their natural lives surrounded by the care and love they deserve.

Rescued animals are rehabilitated and nursed back to health. We give each animal in our care the highest possible quality of life with top-notch medical care and enriched, clean and safe living environments. We work with other sanctuaries to rescue and re-home animals when we can’t take them in ourselves.

We show farmed animals in a new light, highlighting their individuality by sharing their unique stories. We educate the public about the treatment of animals raised for human consumption and the consequences for the animals, ourselves, and the environment of factory farming on a mass scale.
