Dear John,

Safran was slated to be sent to a “calf ranch” the day after he was born.

Every day, in California’s intensive dairy regions, newborn calves are taken from their mothers and transported to these ranches, where they are confined in small wooden crates.

The ranch is a bleak prelude to a miserable fattening period on a feedlot and, ultimately, slaughter for beef or veal. Fortunately, Safran was rescued from that miserable fate, and was given the gift of Sanctuary.

This year, you can help us give this special gift to even more animals. Will you adopt Safran this holiday season?

For a one-time donation of $35, your symbolic adoption will help provide a warm, safe home for farm animals in need. Please adopt Safran today!

When you adopt, you’ll receive a digital certificate featuring your new friend—which you can print out, or share online for all to see. Adoptions also make a great gift for any animal lover in your life.

Today, once-weak Safran is strong, playful and energetic. Living his life amid his fellow cow friends and fresh air, he’s living proof: love heals all wounds.
