Sponsor a Special Animal Today at the Gentle Barn
Save a life and sponsor an animal! Animals recovering from abuse and neglect need something to live for—medical attention alone is not enough. Love and companionship complements vet care and healing and helps animals recover faster. This is why, when the Gentle Barn rescues animal families or friends, they keep them together or encourage them to build new families at The Gentle Barn. Your support enables the Gentle Barn to continue saving and caring for some of the most vulnerable and neglected animals. Through animal sponsorships, they can provide our rescued animals with the proper vet and animal care, food, and lots of love and attention. You can pick and choose the animals you sponsor! Visit their website for a full list of their animals and to get started on your journey as an animal sponsor. Visit: https://www.gentlebarn.org/donate-other/

Help The Gentle Barn with Healing & Feeding Animals
Spring has arrived, and it's the most expensive time of the year here at The Gentle Barn! Our 200 rescued animals have everything they need (and more!) all year long, but each spring, we take extra measures to ensure that they stay happy and healthy in the coming season. The sheep need shearing, the llamas need haircuts, the horses and donkeys need dental care and vaccinations, the cows and pigs need hoof trims, the horses and cows need fly and sun protection, everyone needs deworming, and the straw in the barns must be replaced with cool sand. On top of all that, each of our animals still needs the same organic grass hay and organic fruits & veggies that keep them nourished and healthy all year long! If you'd like to help, please visit their website and donate. Visit: https://www.gentlebarn.org/donate/hay
