Dear John,

Have you met Thelma and Lizzie?

Thelma “The Tender Heart” was saved from slaughter, but needed our help when wildfires endangered her home. Today, she is a cuddly sweetheart who lives up to her nickname.

Lizzie “The Free Spirit” was raised on a “humane” farm, where she was severely neglected. In our care, she has blossomed into an outgoing bird who lives each day her own way.

Through our Adopt a Turkey Project, hundreds of community members have taken these sweet turkeys under their wing and provided critical support for turkeys everywhere.

Save lives this Thanksgiving. Adopt Thelma or Lizzie today!

In gratitude, we’ll send you a digital or print adoption certificate (your choice!) featuring photos and a rescue story for Thelma or Lizzie. It’s the perfect gift for you or someone you love!

Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project is the first of its kind. Since 1986, we’ve supported compassionate holiday traditions — encouraging people to adopt a turkey instead of eating one. Join us today and build a sweeter world for Thelma, Lizzie, and turkeys everywhere.

Kindhearted people like you have made the Adopt a Turkey Project a life-saving tradition.

If you believe that turkeys are sentient beings who deserve compassion — and you object to their exploitation in our modern food system — help us change the path for more turkeys like Thelma and Lizzie.

Please support our critical rescue and advocacy efforts as we continue in this compassionate holiday tradition. Adopt Thelma or Lizzie today!

Thank you for choosing kindness.

With love,

Farm Sanctuary

P.S. You don’t have to choose between the free-spirited Lizzie and tender-hearted Thelma. You can adopt their whole flock of five rescued spokesturkeys with a one-time $150 gift!
