A Special Area just for our Cows with Special Needs

WE MET OUR GOAL AND THE FENCE IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN 🥳

Caring for special-needs cows means providing a dedicated environment that emphasizes comfort, easy access to feed and water, and reduced stress, all of which are essential for their well-being. When vulnerable or recovering cows are housed in cozy, calm areas, it can help minimize disease, boost productivity, and improve overall health outcomes. These specially designed spaces also support better observation and treatment, making it easier for us to monitor their veterinary and behavioral needs.

We currently have four cows that are in need of a gentler area and will be building their own "suite" right next to their herd so they won't be too far from those they have always been with. The cost of supplies for this enclosure is $1500. If you'd like to help us give our vulnerable residents their own safe space, please consider donating today.

Welcome to SASHA Farm

The Midwest’s Largest Farm Animal Sanctuary

At SASHA Farm, we provide more than just food, water, veterinary care, and shelter—we offer love, companionship, and a true sense of security to our rescued animals.

Our mission began over 30 years ago with the rescue of a nine-month-old Border Collie/Spaniel mix from a pet shop. Unable to be properly cared for by her adoptive family, she found her forever home at the sanctuary. With her signature white-tipped tail, Sasha quickly became the farm’s guardian, watching over every new arrival. She remained a loyal companion for 17 years, and in her honor, the sanctuary was named SASHA Farm—an acronym for Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals.

What We Do

Showing Farmed Animals Care and Compassion for Over 30 Years

Our rescue efforts began in the 1980s as a small endeavor, but as more farmed animals in need of care arrived, it became clear that greater support was needed for the daily management of the farm. This led to the formal establishment of SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary. Over the years, we have saved thousands of animals from abuse, neglect, and abandonment, providing them with a safe and loving home.

Today, SASHA Farm is home to over 200 rescued animals, each with a unique story. Some were abandoned, others suffered neglect or mistreatment, but all have now found a safe, loving, and permanent home with us.

In 2001, SASHA Farm officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, ensuring that our mission of rescue, protection, and advocacy can continue. Donations are tax-deductible, and every contribution directly supports the well-being of our residents—today and in the future.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to provide a sanctuary for animals in need.
