Do you want to adopt a farm animal?
Do you want to adopt a farm animal?
There are SO many farm animals out there, particularly roosters and pigs, that need rescue or homes. We recognize that adopting these animals is not for everyone, and we strongly recommend doing your research before pursuing adopting a farm animal. Make sure you have enough space, and have resources to allow you to provide the ongoing medical care they might need. Know what foods are safe for them. Know how to protect them from predators. The list goes on.
On this section of our website we want to provide people with information on caring for specific farm animals, AND we want to share animals in the community looking for homes. We are NOT an adoption agency at this time, BUT we get pleas to take on animals every week. We can't take them all, but we are hoping we might be able to spotlight these animals and connect them with potential adopters.
If you are interested in adopting any of the featured animals, please contact rorypondrescueranch@gmail.com and we will connect you with the right people about their adoption.

Just like with dogs and cats, farm animals can be adopted, and adoption SAVES LIVES. Roosters in particular are often looking for new homes as they are not allowed in certain towns, and many baby chicks bought at stores "guaranteed" to be hens end up being roosters.
Having roosters can be tough at times, but here are some great resources on how to do it right.
Our social media posts may make it looking like having pet pigs is a dream, and most of the time it is, but there are a lot of aspects about caring for them that are different then other species.

Pigs and dogs cannot be trusted together as they have very different behavior and may hurt each other. Pigs are EXTREMELY food motivated and predisposed to being overweight. Pigs should be spayed and neutered just like dogs and cats. Pigs need regular hoof care and yearly vaccines. They need access to mud wallows and misters in the heat. And though many breeders will sell pigs as "mini", even mini pigs typically end up being over 100 pounds.
