Adoptions
Each week, WFAS handles a steady stream of calls and emails from people throughout the country about farmed animals in distress. We hear about chickens wandering NYC streets, baby chicks from “hatching projects,” neglected goats, abandoned rabbits, injured roosters, pigs about to be slaughtered, and on and on. No sanctuary, regardless of how large and well funded (we are neither!), can take in all the animals in need. We stay close to capacity all of the time.
When WFAS is unable to welcome a new resident, we still strive to help. Our small staff stays quite busy networking with other rescues organizations, supporters, pre-approved adoptive homes, and individuals to secure safe, loving homes. We frequently consult (at no cost) with individuals on how to advocate for animals at risk, and we provide referrals and helpful resources.
Sometimes the animals come to WFAS for temporary housing and shelter, but just as often we make arrangements for them to go directly to their new home. You can help us by adopting a farmed animal … by spreading the word about the need for loving, lifetime homes … or by supporting us financially so we can continue these essential adoption efforts.
We only adopt out animals that are bonded or to a home where they will have the companionship of another species of its kind. In addition, we never break up families or close buddies. We have strict criteria for the adoptive homes, so if you’re interested please contact us or call 845-679-5955. We charge a modest adoption fee on a sliding scale.

OLIVE In November, we received a call about a young pig running around Route 28 (about ten minutes from the sanctuary). We sprung into action, went to rescue Olive, and brought her to safety here. Named for the town where she was found, Olive is approximately two years old. She was recently spayed and is an energetic girl who enjoys exploring, rooting in the ground, and finding tasty treats. Full of spunk and a feisty edge, Olive enjoys people but hasn’t made too many pig friends so far. |
If you can provide a loving home for any of the needy animals above, please contact us or call 845-679-5955. Thanks!
