Sponsor a Turkey. Start a Tradition

Turkeys are truly amazing creatures. They are curious, intelligent, and fascinating birds.

Welcome Home Geri!

This adorable 7-month-old ewe had a pretty rough start. Unfortunately, when Geri was a baby, her mother stepped on her back left leg. The injury severed her leg’s main blood supply and she slowly lost her limb. Though her injury healed nicely, she dealt with many other health issues along the way. However, Geri has proven to be a survivor.

Pot-bellied pigs: wonderful animals but bad pets

Originally posted in April of 2017.

Pot-bellied pigs, sometimes called mini-pigs or teacup pigs, are a popular “fad pet” often purchased by people based on misconceptions about their size and needs. Humane societies and animal sanctuaries, including SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary, are constantly contacted by people trying to re-home their pot-bellied pigs after they’ve grown too large for their caretaker’s comfort.

2021 - The YEAR of LAZURUS at SASHA Farm

Many of you have followed the story of Lazurus and how he came to SASHA Farm this year. We, at the sanctuary, have claimed 2021 as the year of Lazurus. Everyone at SASHA believes that he has been an incredible gift, not only to SASHA Farm, but also to all who struggled throughout this unprecedented year of the Covid pandemic. His difficult expedition home to SASHA turned into a positive one, where he will always have warmth, friendship, food, safety, and medical care. Laz’ days will be filled with loving kindness until his life’s journey at SASHA reaches its natural end. He will never again fear for his life or suffer from lack of water and food. He will never have to shake and cower in fear as humans take bets on how much his remains would sell for.

Lazurus the Lamb is Home!

LAZURUS IS HOME AT SASHA FARM

Our buddy, Laz, is settling in nicely at SASHA Farm. He’s getting the best care from the sanctuary staff, thanks to the continued support of the veterinary crew at MSU, and is showing signs of improvement every single day. Laz has even made a dog friend! He’s comfy, warm, and loved, which wouldn’t have been the case if Brece and Chase hadn’t rescued him from the sale barn on that awful, dismal day. Another life saved. Another story told. So many hearts stolen. We love you, Lil Laz!

The Livingston County Eight: in Memory & in Honor of Dorothy

Over the years, SASHA Farm has rescued thousands of animals in need of a better life. Sadly, abuse and neglect is something that we, at the sanctuary, witness so very often. The Livingston County Eight cruelty case that SASHA Farm was, in fact, one of the worst situations staff and volunteers have ever seen in their many years of rescue.
