Looking Ahead

With our new barn and upgraded facilities, we are expanding therapeutic programs for veterans, individuals with special needs, and those seeking healing through animal connection. Your continued support fuels every moment of hope and healing.

Our next construction project that we are raising funds for will be running electrical and eater to the barn.  This is a very expensive and expansive project.  We have begun fundraising for this in 2024 and have money set aside for thius project.  We need to raise approximately $60,000 more to have this completed. By having water and electrical in the barn, we can ensure the animals have the greatest comfort possible. 
 

Thank You

Every meal, every treatment, every safe haven you helped provide is a testament to your compassion. Thank you for believing in our mission and for making Whispering Acres a true sanctuary for all who enter.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary Team
