Farm Sanctuary Wins Newsweek Readers’ Choice Award for Best Animal Encounter

Farm Sanctuary is thrilled to announce that our Los Angeles-area sanctuary has been honored with a 2025 Newsweek Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Animal Encounter.”

All of us at Farm Sanctuary are grateful to have been nominated by Newsweek’s editorial team and voted for by members of the public who were moved by visiting our Acton, California shelter, meeting our rescued farm animal residents, and hearing their inspiring stories. 

Newsweek reaches more than 100 million people monthly, and Farm Sanctuary’s recognition with a Readers’ Choice Award will help spread our message of compassion for farm animals across the country and around the world.

Visit Our Award-Winning California Sanctuary

Our California sanctuary is located just 45 minutes from all there is to do and see in Hollywood, and is home to around 100 rescued farm animals.
