ADOPTIONS

AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IS REQUIRED before adoption . Questions? email: uafarm@comcast.net or call Ode Spear: 386-325-8289. Note: Not all sanctuary animals are not available for adoption.

The pictures below are a sampling of the many beautiful birds available for adoption. We only offer non-aggressive roosters for placement. Being a farm animal sanctuary,

Rabbits available for adoption

We foster bunnies for the Gainesville Rabbit Rescue.

Details on bunnies available and adoption information are available at www.Petfinder.com on the Gainesville Rabbit Rescue list.

We are a farm animal sanctuary. Our animal residents are not used for breeding, sold or exploited. Male farm animals are neutered with the exception of farm fowl. All rabbits, dogs and cats are spayed/neutered.

Although most of our farm animal residents are permanent, if you are interested in adopting a specific farm animal we encourage you to submit an adoption application for our records. Often we receive calls on displaced animals which we are unable to take. We will attempt to place them by reviewing qualified applications (received within the last year.) Then we will attempt to connect you with the organization/person handling the placement. We always recommend home checks and reference checks prior to any placements.

The farm animals most often in need of loving homes are: roosters, adult potbellied pigs, farm pigs, wild pig mixes, billy goats and elderly horses.

Cats & Dogs - A new Policy

Rescuing cats/dogs has taken a toll on the time and expense required by our farm animals. This year we plan to re-evaluate our accommodations in an effort to offer our facility (space permitting) to other *rescues needing a temporary holding place. We will only work with non-profits and rescues who have high standards for quality care and adoptions.

*Attention Rescues: We prefer to work with rescues who verify references and do home checks before the animal is released. All animals must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption.
