About this shelter

Farm Sanctuary - Humane Education in New York, NY

Farm Sanctuary - Humane Education is located in New York, New York, in New York County, where 24 other animal shelters and rescues also operate, and sits about 5 miles north of Yonkers, NY. Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit pursuing bold solutions to end animal agriculture and foster compassionate vegan living, working through rescue, education, and advocacy. Founded nearly 40 years ago with the rescue of a single sheep named Hilda found on a pile of dead animals behind a Pennsylvania stockyard, the organization has grown from a single rescue into a global movement, caring for rescued farm animals such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks at its sanctuaries in Watkins Glen, NY and Los Angeles, CA. Its humane education programs and rescue stories aim to change how people see and treat farm animals, inviting the public to meet rescued individuals and learn about the effects of animal agriculture on animals, the environment, social justice, and public health.
