Dear John,

Every year, over 46 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving celebrations. This somber reality is harsh enough to overshadow even the most positive values that this holiday is meant to exemplify.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Farm Sanctuary has rescued countless turkeys over the past three decades—rehabilitating them with nutritious food, shelter, medical care, and love. At our New York and California sanctuaries, they live out their lives for years beyond the five-month mark at which most factory-farmed turkeys lose their lives.

You can help. Please adopt a Farm Sanctuary turkey this year.

No barn necessary! By symbolically adopting, you’re not only sponsoring an individual animal—you are helping turkeys everywhere. You are showing the world how to view turkeys with empathy and compassion.

Meet the Turkeys: Introducing the loveable flock of adoptable turkeys! For a one-time contribution of $35 each, you can sponsor:

Anna "The Goofball"

Elsa "The Wallflower"

Marnie "The Alpha"

Hank Williams "The Legend"

Pamela "The Lover"

Or, you can spread your giving wings further and adopt the whole flock!

With your sponsorship, you will receive your choice of printed or digital certificate, which you can share with your friends and family. You’ll also receive a one-year subscription to Sanctuary, Farm Sanctuary’s biannual print magazine.

Adoptions can be a great gift! Share your values by making your adoption a gift, and we will send the honorary adoption certificate and Sanctuary subscription to the special person of your choice.
