We provide care, comfort and compassion to abused, abandoned or otherwise unwanted farm animals, many of whom have special needs.
DONATE VIEW OUR WISH LISTJ 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!
MEET THE ANIMALSCaring 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.
DONATEWe'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?
Come join us on Saturday, December 3rd 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!
We're teaming up with professional pet photographer and President of Feline Den Rescue, Randi Krohmaly. She'll be on site snapping amazing pics in our beautifully decorated barn. Two photo packages will be available for purchase during your 15 minute session. Choose from 5 photos for $10 or 10 photos for $20. All proceeds go back to the Sanctuary!
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!
If you'd like to help spread some Christmas cheer to the homeless kitties at Feline Den Rescue, we'll be collecting in-kind donations that day, as well. The kitties are always in need of wet food, Purina Cat Chow Complete dry food, Scoop Away clumping cat litter, cat toys and scratching pads. Thank you so much!
Please visit our booking page to register for your preferred time slot for photos. Walk-ins are absolutely welcome! If your preferred time slot is taken, we will do our best to fit you in for photos, giving priority to those who signed up ahead of time. It's a very long day for the animals, so we would like to keep the event limited to the original time of 11:00am - 3:00pm. Thank you for your understanding.
