JJessi Rescue

Open your home to a rescued farm animal

We place chickens, ducks, and small ruminants in vetted forever homes. Our adoption process is thorough — for their sake and yours.

Who can adopt

The right home, not just any home

Farm animals are a long-term commitment. A hen can live 8 years, a goat 15, a pig 18, a horse 30. We place every animal carefully, so you can both thrive.

What we look for

  • At least one acre of safely-fenced outdoor space (more for cows or horses).
  • Predator-secure shelter — a barn, sturdy coop, or insulated stall.
  • A relationship with a large-animal vet, or willingness to establish one.
  • Companionship: most farm animals need at least one of their own kind.
  • Time to integrate slowly and patience with healing animals.
How it works

The adoption process, step by step

Most placements take 2–4 weeks. We stay available for the rest of the animal's life — questions, vet referrals, or just photos to share.
