Dear John,

Inside, you’ll find a note from our President & Co-founder, Gene Baur; the inspiring stories of major rescues from our history; beautiful photos of our rescued animal residents at sanctuary, and a variety of ways that you can make an impact in our ongoing mission.

Thanks to your support, we are making every day count as we continue our work for animals, people, and the planet. Together, let’s make 2026 a year to remember:

Hurry: Thanksgiving is over, but turkeys still need your support this year! Around 22 million of these sentient birds end up on holiday tables for Christmas, and you can protect turkeys today.

Join our Adopt a Turkey Project by December 31 with a one-time gift to sponsor the daily care of a rescued bird at Farm Sanctuary and help us protect all turkeys from cruelty.

Each member of our flock of adoptable turkeys has a unique and lovable personality: Julie is an introvert, while Tutu is the outgoing extrovert, and sassy Zuzu is a wild child. Sweet Thelma has a tender heart, and her pal Serena is a snuggler.

Adopt the turkey who you relate to the most, or adopt the flock of five to maximize your impact! As an Adopt a Turkey supporter, you’ll receive a beautiful certificate featuring your feathered friend and a video to share on social media as you inspire kind choices for turkeys.

Please note these shipping deadlines if you would like items from our e-store to arrive in time by December 25:

• UPS Ground: December 15
• UPS 3-Day Select: December 16
• UPS 2nd-Day Air: December 17
• UPS Next-Day Air: December 18

Thank you for a year of progress and compassion, and for your continued support in the year ahead! 

With season’s greetings and gratitude,

Farm Sanctuary
