Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorships help provide feed, shelter, and veterinary care for the wonderful animals that live at Florida Rescue Farm and support our mission to provide safety, shelter, and dignity for farm animals in need.

We offer the opportunity to sponsor any of the animals on the farm. When you sponsor an animal at Florida Rescue Farm we will send you a Certificate of Sponsorship and a letter introducing your animal. We will then continue to send periodic updates about your new pal and you are always welcome to schedule a time to visit. If you have any questions or would like to know more about the animals available for sponsorship please email info@floridarescuefarm.org or call (941)209-9558

The Bovines

Moobee

We like to call Moobee our cow ambassador. He is mischevious and majestic all at the same time. He came to us at 2-days-old when his mother was found dead from injuries she received during calving. He was destined to be a meat cow, however the rancher didn't have time to raise him so he gave him to the sanctuary. Meat cow no more! Moobee was our first cow and hence is a bit spoiled. He is the wise and benevolent leader of the cow herd.

Maybee and Miracle

Maybee was destined for auction when we met her. She was 6-months old and clearly very scared. At the time we were still homesteading, and trying to get out of the commercial food loop and we thought we could do cruelty free dairy. Maybee was very patient with us and at 2-years-old she had her calf Miracle. We never separated her from her calf and after some time realized there was no reason to keep milking Maybee. We gave up dairy and Maybee and her daughter still live together on the farm. They are inseparable and are are gentle, sweet animals.

Norman

Norman's mom passed away while giving birth. He was bred to be a meat cow and was too large for a normal birth. It looked as though he would not survive, but the rancher gave us a chance. We nursed him, and we would pick him up and walk him around, and miraculously he made it! Norman is a delightful steer. He is a very gentle soul and has been good friends with Miracle since her arrival.

FAQs about our sponsorship program

Choosing the animal you want to sponsor: We offer sponsorships for individual animals or the sponsorship can go to a herd or flock of the animal you choose. We list many of our beloved residents on this page, but fee free to contact us as at info@floridarescuefarm.org as everyone is not necessarily listed.

Can animals have multiple sponsors? Yes. Sponsorship donations are technically symbolic as the funds go towards to feeding, vet care, and medications for all of the animals, and are not marked for that specific animal (It’s hard to tell the chickens not to share their grain :)

Losing a sponsored friend: We do have many older residents, and some that have irreversible health issues, so occasionally someone’s sponsored friend passes away. We will notify you as soon as possible and give you the opportunity to transfer your sponsorship to another animal.
