Animals offer us so much – from companionship to a smile when we don’t think we can muster one. Not all animals, however, are fortunate enough to know the love of humans. Farm animals often face unspeakable abuse and neglect, living their lives in fear. Non-profits like Lancaster Farm Sanctuary in Pennsylvania help save those farm animals, who cannot speak for themselves, and provide them with a safe, loving home to live out their lives. You can even visit the farm sanctuary to meet the residents and tour their forever home.
Stretched across 18 acres in Mount Joy, Lancaster Farm Sanctuary provides a loving home for a variety of rescued farm animals - cows, pigs, and turkeys, to name just a few.
