Dear John,

What would you have done if you’d found Biscuit the lamb trembling alone in an animal sale facility?

For Tyler, the answer was simple. When this teenage animal lover realized the tiny animal was blind, she sat beside him to offer him comfort. Biscuit ran straight into her lap, and she knew she had to bring him home.

As you may know, Farm Sanctuary's first rescue was a sheep I found left for dead at a Pennsylvania stockyard in 1986. She was named Hilda, and she was the first rescued resident to live peacefully at our New York sanctuary. Nearly 37 years later, we get urgent calls to help farm animals like her almost every day. And the truth is that they often have both physical injuries and emotional trauma — requiring a lot of expensive care.

Your support for our Emergency Animal Rescue Fund means we can give farm animals the kindness they’ve been denied by animal agriculture. And when you join Farm Sanctuary today, your support will be matched dollar-for-dollar — up to $30,000 — to make twice the impact!

This matching gift opportunity won’t last, so join Farm Sanctuary today, and your support will go TWICE as far for farm animals!

After rescuing Biscuit, Tyler found the little lamb only wanted to do one thing: snuggle up by her side. But as time passed, she began to worry that he would be lonely when she left for college.

Knowing Biscuit needed and deserved the best life she could give him, Tyler made the difficult decision to find him a new home where he could be surrounded by love. That’s exactly what Farm Sanctuary offered.

Our caregiving team spent weeks helping Biscuit acclimate to his new environment. They developed a detailed plan to address his long-term health and well-being, provided a comfortable space where he could move freely, and began to introduce him to other sheep friends for the first time in his life.

Today, Biscuit knows his surroundings by heart, and he spends his days exploring our Watkins Glen sanctuary with his flock. This resilient sheep has a bright future ahead.

When we rescue animals like Biscuit, we make a lifelong commitment: promising them a lifetime of love and care at our sanctuaries or in other adoptive homes through our Farm Animal Adoption Network.

You help ensure we can keep that commitment, John.

Please join Farm Sanctuary today to take advantage of this matching opportunity. Every dollar you give will be doubled up to $30,000 to provide more animals the safe and happy homes they deserve.

Thank you for being a part of our team.

Yours for farm animals,

Gene Baur
President and Co-founder
