Dear John,

At Farm Sanctuary, our rescued residents spend their days doing what they love most, with the ones they love most.

It warms our hearts to see these survivors develop best friends and life-long companions: vital relationships that help them heal from trauma, and move forward in love.

This Valentine’s Day, please join us in celebrating these life-saving bonds with a generous gift from the heart.

With a one-time gift of $35, you can “adopt” Squid & Otto sheep, Bella & Vector hens, or Emmett & Wyatt pigs. In gratitude for your support, we’ll send you a digital adoption certificate featuring your bonded pair. Print this love note for yourself, or share it with the people you love. Your gift improves our animals’ lives, and helps us care for those who need us most!

Squid & Otto

Ironically, Squid and Otto’s health challenges spared them from becoming meat. Otto, born with neurological issues, couldn’t eat on his own. Squid, meanwhile, sustained permanent damage from a broken leg. At Farm Sanctuary, these two resilient lambs have become fast friends. Squid—who now gets around with a custom wheeled cart—is even helping Otto learn how to eat!

Bella & Vector

Bella and Vector remind us of twins separated at birth. They look almost exactly alike, and both have severe cross beak—a condition that impairs their ability to eat. But these bright birds don’t let their beaks hold them back. They love to eat their special meals together, and clean each other’s faces from the splatter that ensues! They also perch and snuggle close at night, looking like two halves of one heart.

Emmett & Wyatt

Emmett and Wyatt have been through a lot together. As youngsters, they lived on a derelict farm, where more than 80 pigs were strewn across the property in dark, cramped, and waste-filled barns, trailers, and sheds. More than three years later, they remain inseparable, whether rooting through their pasture by day, or snuggling close at bedtime.

With your symbolic adoption, you’ll join thousands of other compassionate members in supporting these animals’ ongoing care, and our continued work to help those still in need. Our animal friends are better together—and so are we. Adopt a loving pair today to see how far your love can go!

With love,

Farm Sanctuary
