Gentle Friends attends local auctions where animals are sold for commercial production and slaughter, and we also work with humane law enforcement agencies to help farm animals who have suffered at the hands of humans.
All of our animals receive individualized medical care, and many are available for adoption into new homes as loved family pets and companions, where they can experience love and safety for the rest of their days.
The farm animals of Gentle Friends are also available to visit schools, groups, and clubs to share our animals and their unique stories. Please contact us to learn more.
