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 175 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 cannot accept surrendered cats, dogs or wildlife. Please reach out to your local animal shelter or licensed wildlife rehabilitator for assistance. Thanks!
MEET THE ANIMALSCaring for over 175 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.

Celebrate the season with us at our Christmas Photos on the Farm event. This is one of our favorite days of the year, when the Sanctuary turns into a festive backdrop filled with draft horses, friendly faces, and plenty of holiday cheer.
For twenty five dollars, guests can enjoy a professional photoshoot from Golden Triangle Photo. You'll have the chance to take your holiday pictures with our draft horses and several of our animal ambassadors who are more than ready for their close ups. Whether you want a sweet family photo, a silly shot with a Hank the duck, or a majestic moment with one of the big horses, we have you covered.
This is an open house event, so even if you are not looking for photos, you are welcome to come explore the Sanctuary, meet the animals, and enjoy the day. We'll have a basket raffle, plus plenty of Sanctuary merch available for holiday shopping. Our keychains, ornaments, and other goodies make perfect stocking stuffers and help support the animals who call this place home.
Come spend a cozy afternoon with us, enjoy the animals, and kick off the holiday season in the sweetest way. No appointment necessary! 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 cider. We look forward to seeing you!
