APPLICATION

We invite you to fill out an adoption application (copy and paste it into an email then fill it out) and submit it for pre-approval. Your application will be reviewed and filed. When we are contacted regarding a farm animal in need, which we can't take, we will reference our most suitable applications on file. Most "animals in need" are regarding potbellied pigs (and mixed), goats, bunnies, old & disabled horses, cats and dogs. We've also had calls on buffalo, emu, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, rhea etc.

Please understand, we take the "Match Maker Program" very seriously. We look for permanent and safe homes where the animal will be happy, not bred, eaten or given away. Most impressive are homes with people who are willing to provide a challenging, healthy and comfortable environment. Also, it's important that the property be owned not rented and zoned for that particular animal. Agricultural (AG) zoning has many sub-codes which denote what the land can be used for. The most difficult to find is AG property which allows pigs and chickens.

We are always available to help find answers to questions concerning long term farm animal care. Factory farmed animals are conditioned to grow large quickly, often over bred and kept in small areas. Animals who could potentially live 10, 20 and 50 years, live a from a few weeks to 1-2 years of age in the farming industry. Their food, housing, space and medical is different than those expected to live long quality lives.

The world is gradually accepting that farmed animals are sentient beings who have needs and feelings. They love their young, miss friends, feel pain and loneliness. Treating them as a commodity has to stop. Laws are needed to protect them from cruelty. Most people don't realize that even the barely effective laws existing to protect our family pets don't apply to farm animals. We want the "Match Maker Program" to reflect our respect for all animals.
