Happy New Year, Everyone!

Welcome to my 2025 Unity Farm Sanctuary, Happy to NOT be Recovering from COVID Post Birthday Fundraiser! 🎉

As always, Miss Maxine the Llama above is on hand to kick off this fundraiser from The Welcoming Corner at Unity, where she watches over our beloved goats. There is always an open invitation for anyone to visit, meet our rescues and give them some of their favorite lettuce treats! Here are updates on a few friends I introduced you to last year and some recent rescues who now call Unity their home:

Penny Blossom

Because of your commitment, our Penny Blossom Pig is able to continue her battle with squamous cell cancer and have a good quality of life, with strawberries and lots of belly rubs!

Walter

So close to having their lives cut short, I'm happy to report both Walter Goat & Tomie Llapaca are thriving after coming to Unity!

Tomie

Piglets Eddie Poe and Willie Blake - named at Unity after authors Edgar Allan Poe and William Blake - were both bred for meat but a rescuer inspired the breeder to release them to sanctuary. Much like our Louie Piglet, they love to run around and have belly rubs!

Eddie & Willie

Turkey Roo

Bonnie

Seamus the Silkie

Who is this handsome rooster? Mistaken by the young couple who found him in the woods to be a wild baby turkey, he has been named “Turkey Roo”!

Like our Amelia, Bonnie Pig is a Gloucester Old Spot.

Deemed to have no value once she could no longer be mounted to breed litters she would never nuzzle or raise, a group of concerned citizens on Martha’s Vineyard banded together to save her.

Sadly, her sister and others just like her were not so lucky. With your help, we will do everything we can to make the rest of Bonnie’s days as comfortable as possible.

Dumped in the woods on the north shore of Massachusetts, Seamus was taken in by a family from Ireland from the animal control officer but once we confirmed from a photo that he was a rooster, they knew he could not stay with them, as many towns have ordinances prohibiting roosters. Lucky for Seamus, he will join the many who live with us!

Hamish

Meet Hamish, the Scottish Highland calf who had to leave his mother on a cattle farm at just hours old to search for his freedom - only to find himself with pneumonia and caught in the brambles on the side of a ravine for days in the summer heat before rescue. Now a happy, healthy 450-pound calf, he has stolen all our hearts.

No donation is too small! Whether it be for food, medical care, warm blankets or enrichment items to help make our rescues' lives healthy AND happy, every penny makes a huge difference in the lives of everyone at the sanctuary!

Together, we can work toward a world where we can save them all. Here is a photo from one of our LEAP classes. LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals and the Planet) is our signature Humane Education program; by which we are helping to educate and inspire the leaders of tomorrow to tackle the most pressing issues regarding nonhuman animal welfare, climate justice and social justice.

These students are true Changemakers, who understand kindness and empathy are the keys to success and I am so proud to be small part of their journey.

Thank you in advance for your contributions and here’s to a 2025 full of compassion for all!

Join us in making this a celebration of Jennifer D'Angelo's birthday, to provide a safe forever home to our beloved residents in 2025. Let's get this Birthday Celebration started! 🥳
