As a child, I dreamed of a place where animals and people could heal together. I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I spent my life around animals — goats, sheep, cows, and especially horses.

 

My uncle worked with horses that were bound for slaughter simply because they couldn’t be ridden or trained. From him, I learned something that has shaped everything I do today: a kind voice, patience, and time can change a life. I may not have been raised in a barn, but I got there as quickly as I could.

​

Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary grew from that dream into a living, breathing haven. What started with a few chickens in need has blossomed into a refuge for more than 100 animals: goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep, turkeys, ducks, horses, and more. Each one has a story, each one has a name, and each one now has a future.

​

But Whispering Acres is more than just a rescue — it is a lifeline. We open our gates not only to neglected and abandoned farm animals, but also to those coming from domestic violence situations, families facing financial hardship or homelessness, and individuals who need temporary care for their animals while seeking inpatient mental health treatment.

​

We don’t judge your story. We are here to help.

​

Most of the animals who arrive here were once someone’s beloved pet. Their former families often had the best intentions but lacked the education and resources needed to care for farm animals. Horses, Goats, pigs, and sheep are not like dogs or cats — they require specialized housing, diets, and medical care.

 

At Whispering Acres, we step in where love wasn’t enough, ensuring those animals are given the proper care, safety, and dignity they deserve.

​

Our mission is simple:
To give each animal the best life, for the rest of their life. 

​

When I watch them now — a blind horse guiding us to see differently, a once-neglected pig soaking in the sun, or a goat who survived starvation leaping with joy — I know this sanctuary is more than a dream. It is my calling.

 

Stopping is not an option; it would be like telling someone to stop breathing.

​

Whispering Acres is a place of healing — for animals and people alike.

 

Survivors of trauma, children, veterans, and families come here and find peace alongside the animals. In their resilience, forgiveness, and gentleness, we all find hope.

​

They all have a name.
They all have a story.
They all have a past.
And now, they all have a future.
