Duncan’s rescue was a team effort by many compassionate individuals, from the passerby who stopped to help Duncan in Michigan; to his adopter, Katherine; and the entire staff at Chicagoland Pig Rescue. These connections are the result of the strength and reach of our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN).
Farm Sanctuary depends on the FAAN to provide loving homes for as many farm animals as possible. Every day, we receive requests to help animals in need all over the country. In 2023 and 2024, we received over 2,200 requests, representing more than 14,000 animals in need. These individuals are often survivors of animal agriculture. Some have been seized by authorities, abandoned, or surrendered by guardians who cannot provide them with care. Others have fallen or jumped from transport trucks, like Duncan appeared to have done. All are in need of safe homes dedicated to providing lifelong, individualized care.
If you have the time, space, and compassion to adopt a farm animal into a suitable home or sanctuary, consider joining our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN).
