*As of 8/1/2011, SASHA Farm is at capacity for all species and is temporarily unable to take in new animals.
Here at SASHA Farm, our mission is to provide a safe and secure environment, lifetime care and medical treatment for unwanted, neglected, misused and abused farmed and domestic animals. The money that keeps SASHA Farm running, its barns clean and its residents warm and well fed comes solely from the generous donations of people who believe passionately in our mission.
For a variety of reasons, we are often asked to take unwanted animals from private homes. We rarely do so, but exceptions are sometimes made in very extenuating circumstances. We do request that individuals who ask us to take over their responsibilities for caring for, feeding and housing their unwanted animals be willing to financially provide for the animal(s) in the form of a monetary donation to cover a portion of their feeding and routine veterinary care throughout their lifetime.
It's difficult to turn away any animal in need of a loving new home, but it would be far worse to find ourselves unable to provide for a farmed animal whose only alternative is death.
In June 2011, the SASHA Farm Board of Directors approved the following Animal Intake Policy.
When physical space and financial resources allow, we will consider admission of new animal residents in order of the following priorities:
- Animals who are victims of abuse or neglect who have been surrendered or removed by law enforcement.
- Animals being raised for slaughter who have escaped or been spared through other circumstances.
- Animals who have been abandoned or surrendered to an animal control facility, who are unlikely to be adopted and who are in danger of euthanasia.
- Animals surrendered by private individuals for circumstances beyond their control.
- Animals surrendered by private individuals for reasons of convenience with a monetary donation to provide for their care.
The final decision with regard to new animal residents lies with the Director.
Locally, the Humane Society of Huron Valley can provide you with both behavioral advice to help you keep your dog or cat, and resources to help you find him or her a new home.
If you are a shelter, rescue or other agency, or a concerned individual looking to place an at-risk farm animal in permanent sanctuary, please contact us.
