Dear John,

Pearl is almost unrecognizable from the frightened, ailing sheep we met three years ago.

When we first rescued Pearl, she was emaciated and covered in horrific shearing wounds. She was also sick from internal parasites and had such bad hoof rot that her hooves had sloughed off.

But what broke our hearts the most was that Pearl had been so traumatized by humans that she would panic and try to jump up the walls of her pen to get away from our caregivers.

John, kindhearted people like you helped us provide Pearl with everything she needed to heal and begin a peaceful new life in Sanctuary. Can we count on you to join Farm Sanctuary today to help us rescue other farm animals in need?

From the beginning, we knew Pearl had a strong will to live. After receiving antibiotics, vitamins and antioxidants, pain medications, and nutritious food — and her own cozy space to settle in — Pearl began to recover.

But the most rewarding part of Pearl’s healing journey was seeing her thrive among our Acton sheep herd: a family she could call her own.

Today, Pearl’s hooves have healed, the wounds on her body and heart have closed, and she’s enjoying a peaceful life in Sanctuary — all because someone like you believed in her.

That is the difference you can make for vulnerable farm animals, John — and we still need your help.

For every rescued animal like Pearl, there are billions more still suffering in our oppressive food system. With your support today, we can continue caring for hundreds of Sanctuary residents while stepping in to help when others need us most.

Your support also helps us advocate for increased protections for all farm animals, educate the next generation of farm animal advocates through our humane education programs, and provide free resources like our Social Justice & Our Food System program to help communities explore veganism and combat patterns of oppression and injustice in our food system.

Our lifesaving work is only possible when we have compassionate people like you on our side.

Please give farm animals like Pearl a second chance at life, love, and Sanctuary by joining us with a special gift today.

Thank you, in advance, for opening your heart to farm animals.

In gratitude,

Gene Baur
President and Co-founder
