About Us!


J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary located in Saxonburg, PA.

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate farm animals. We provide a lifelong home to each of our adopted creatures, full of love, compassion and environmental enrichment. From tiny bantam chickens to giant draft horses, over 100 amazing animals are currently living their best lives here at the Sanctuary.

Please note we are not an animal shelter. We're a farm animal sanctuary. We don't currently have the resources to take in surrendered cats, dogs, other domestic pets or wildlife. Thanks!

How to Help!


Donate

Caring for over 100 animals isn't cheap. From ensuring everyone receives proper nutrition, medical care and daily enrichment to maintaining fencing and other infrastructure around the farm, the bills add up. We're a small organization with no paid staff, so you can be sure 100% of your donation goes directly back to our mission. No amount is ever too small.

DONATE

Volunteer

We're always in need of volunteers! Whether it's an ongoing commitment or just a few hours one afternoon, all help is very much appreciated. We have plenty of volunteer opportunities to fit in anyone's wheelhouse. If you're interested in helping out at the farm, please feel free to email us at volunteer@jandjfarmsanimalsanctuary.org or send a message to our Facebook page for a faster response.

Who can resist a chicken in an elf costume?

Join us on Saturday, December 7 from 11:00am - 3:00pm for a Christmas open house! We'll be dressing up several of our cuddly creatures in their most festive outfits to take pictures with you! Also, for the first year ever, Santa will be joining us at the Sanctuary for photos!

Professional photographer, Christopher Olpp, will be on-site, snapping amazing images for you to share with family and friends.

Photo packages are $15. You will receive your digital images via email a week or so after the event. All proceeds go toward helping our 150+ Sanctuary residents. No registration needed! Just walk in!

If photos aren't your thing, we still encourage you to stop by. Meet our animal residents. Take part in our basket raffle. Pick up some branded merchandise or simply enjoy a cookie and some hot cocoa. We look forward to seeing you!
