Many people will tell you that there’s nothing cuter than a baby animal.

Most New York commuters expect to encounter interesting characters on their morning commutes, but it’s not every day that a pair of goats is spotted cruising along subway tracks.

In 1993, Farm Sanctuary began welcoming animals to our then-new Sanctuary location in Orland, California. Waylon was the 86th of 94 animals rescued that year.

With your help, Farm Sanctuary made significant strides for farm animals everywhere in 2024, and we’re off to a strong start in 2025.

Your support today will help us keep healing hearts.

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our supporters, we made meaningful progress for farmed animals and advanced systemic food system change in 2024.
