Adopt a Rescue Farm Animal - Grass Valley, California

We are changing the world, one adopted animal at a time. That’s the driving force behind Animal Place’s Rescue & Adoption program. Each individual saved has a story. In August of 2010, we launched our Rescue & Adoption program with the rescue of 250 hens from an egg farm. To date, tens of thousands of chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, and pigs have passed through its barn doors and onto greener pastures, and new homes.

The Rescue & Adoption Center can only take in those animals we can place. You can be a part of this life-saving work by adopting. We currently only place animals in northern California and southern Oregon.
