At SASHA Farm, the midwest’s largest farm animal sanctuary, we provide more than just food, water, veterinary care, and shelter—we offer love, companionship, and a true sense of security to our rescued animals. Our mission began over 30 years ago with the rescue of a nine-month-old Border Collie/Spaniel mix from a pet shop. Unable to be properly cared for by her adoptive family, she found her forever home at the sanctuary. With her signature white-tipped tail, Sasha quickly became the farm’s guardian, watching over every new arrival. She remained a loyal companion for 17 years, and in her honor, the sanctuary was named SASHA Farm—an acronym for Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals.

Community is important to our operation. We embrace every encounter with supporters during our events, tours, and interactions on social media.
Every donation goes directly towards caring for our animal residents. Whether it is for our annual Hay Drive, purchasing new equipment, or funds for emergency rescues, your contributions support our goal of providing quality, lifetime care for our rescues.
Did you know that hay is our biggest expense? We spend around $50,000 annually on hay. Every donation helps us feed our animal residents, keeping them happy and healthy!
Donate NowAlong with feed, medical care is another massive yearly expense. SASHA has a large group of geriatric animals with a number of diverse ailments. We are in need of various supplies and medications on a daily basis.
Donate NowThough we can’t rescue every animal in need of sanctuary, we take in and care for as many as we can adequately manage. Oftentimes, this comes with a cost, as animals are abused, neglected, or abandoned. Your donation efforts help in preparing for the next animal to call SASHA Farm home!
