Each animal who lives at SASHA Farm arrives with a story to tell. Most have been neglected or abused, some have been abandoned to fend for themselves, and many bear the scars of their pasts, either physically or emotionally, but when they arrive at SASHA Farm, they begin to heal. Our staff and volunteers provide compassionate care and nourishment to heal their bodies, and maybe more importantly, members of their own species help them develop a sense of security and belonging that heals the spirit. We see remarkable transformations nearly every week. Animals who cowered in fear from our outstretched hands when they first arrived soon greet us confidently each morning. The distrust in their eyes is replaced with curiosity or calm. It’s truly a magical thing to witness, and we know that we are just as lucky as they are to experience it.
At SASHA Farm the animals come first and because we have a limited amount of staff and volunteers we do not have regular visiting hours for the public.
The best way to meet the residents of SASHA Farm is to attend one of our on-site events, but if you can’t, you can still get to know them and read their stories by clicking on one of the animal species under Meet the Animals. Maybe one will touch your heart and you’ll decide to become a sponsor.
Meet the Birds
We have a variety of avian species at the sanctuary. Our bird residents include chickens, peafowl, guinea fowl, waterfowl, and Ellie the emu.Many of our feathery friends are located in one of the five coops on our property.
Meet the Cows
Roaming over twenty acres of lush, green pasture at SASHA Farm are our largest ruminants; the cattle residents. Our main herd of various breeds are living happy and healthy lives, free and safe from the abuse and neglect they once knew. Read more about their amazing rescue stories below!
Meet the Equines
Able to roam free on twenty-plus acres of pasture are our donkeys, mules, and horses. These beautifully strong and smart animals are some of the favorites here at SASHA Farm. Our equine run, play, and graze in a safe environment, which is what we promised them when they were rescued.
Meet the Goats
Energetic, silly, and loving are perfect adjectives to describe our goat residents. These adorable beings hang out in the main pasture with Bhima, Daisy Belle, the ponies, and their sheep pals. Usually, our goat residents can be seen lounging around on their goatscape, or following their human caretakers around the hilly twenty-plus acres at the front of the sanctuary. Our various breeds are among the favorites here at SASHA.
Meet the Pigs
You’ve probably heard a lot about pigs, such as them being one of the smarter animals on our planet. These amazing creatures are more intelligent than dogs and most 3-year-old children. They have wonderful memories, they’re very communicative, and create strong bonds with their families, including their human caretakers. Our pig residents are no different. They’re so much fun to be around and are very loyal to their herd.
Meet the Pot-bellied Pigs
These little beings are just a smaller, squishier version of our big pigs. Though they have a smaller stature, they still have big personalities.
