Who We Are & What We Do
The Barnyard Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit charity, organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey.
We rescue pet farm animals that have lost their homes. We will either relocate them to another home or sanctuary through our adoption and placement service, or keep them here on our farm. If you have an animal that is not on our list of animals we will accept here, please visit our website at http://www.barnyardsanctuary.org or give us a call at 973-670-4477.
Mission Statement
The Barnyard Sanctuary's mission is to find a new home for displaced farm pets that have become homeless due to the financial, social, economical or physical well being of their current caregivers.
What Animals Do We Accept?
While we would like to be able to help any and all animals, we are not personally able to do so. If you do not see your animal species listed here and it needs a home, go to our "resources" page. If there are no shelters listed there that handle your species, please call us and well see what we can do to help you.
All chickens, roosters, guinea hens, peacocks, quail, pheasants, pigeons, ducks, geese, etc. and rabbits are living at our current location. We are in the process of clearing and fencing a field for the larger animals here. In the meantime, we are using several foster farms in the immediate area. This allows us to expand our acceptance on a limited basis to include alpacas, goats, llamas, sheep, pigs, donkeys and mules.
As soon as we have purchased a larger farm, we will add on horses, cows, water buffalo, emus and ostriches. In the interim, if you have one of these animals you need to relocate right away, we would be glad to assist you in finding it a home.
Animals We Do Not Accept
We limit ourselves to farm animals. On a case by case basis, we will accept a limited number of dogs and cats. We do not accept exotic animals (snakes, reptiles, rodents, etc.), although we will have an exotic bird sanctuary on site (see the link on the "resource" page for more info on this). We also do not accept wildlife."
If you have an animal not on this list, nor on the list of who we do accept, give us a call. We are always willing to try and help, even if it's just a referral. For more information please visit our website at http://www.barnyardsanctuary.org or give us a call at 973-670-4477.
