Sponsor the Newest Girls!

Persephone, Sienna, & Amber just arrived from a California turkey farm! They are five months old and faced certain slaughter for the holidays.
 

Sponsor Oak

In 2016, Oak and three other turkeys were left in a box on our driveway after being saved from a Thanksgiving slaughterhouse. Now ten years old, this gentle senior turkey spends her days relaxing and enjoying quiet sanctuary life.
 

Sponsor Tilly

In 2025, six-month-old Tilly leaped from a transport truck to escape slaughter, suffering a broken foot and severe road burns. Today, after months of physical rehab, this bold and assertive turkey loves chasing staff and trilling loudly. Sponsor Tilly today to cover her specialized care, fresh food, and treats!
 

Sponsor Balto

In 2017, Balto survived severe neglect at a local feed store alongside hundreds of other birds. Today, this gentle 12-year-old turkey loves spending her days resting in cozy nest boxes and following Jose the rooster around for treats. Sponsor Balto today to keep her nest box full of fresh straw and her favorite treats.
