BREAKING NEWS:

SASHA Farm has been involved in the rescue of the five cows and three pigs found alive in this heartbreaking case. We were asked to assist on September 29th, 2017, although initial warrants may have been issued as early as May. We came back with the only living animals among the 70 cows who were found dead. We have been unable to share any further information until today. The surviving animals are now safe and sound at SASHA Farm where they can live out their lives being loved and cared for.

Here are the links to the news article and video published by the Detroit Free Press on February 5, 2018.

Thank you to all who have supported SASHA Farm during these difficult months.

 

CAT LOVERS NEEDED!

Main

SASHA Farm would love to have your help caring for 12 sweet cats in our cat barn.  Shifts are once a week for a minimum of 2 hours, but we would love to have you stay longer!  Our volunteers clean, wash floors, do laundry, scoop litter, and feed the cat residents.  Our greatest need right now is for someone to work on Sundays but please let us know of any days you are available.

Purrs and snuggles are complimentary!

Please email Darcy at darcyrocks@yahoo.com or Lynn at lynxdonell@aol.com for more information.

*Volunteers must be 18 years of age.*

** As much as we would love to take more cats, our cat barn is full, so we are unable to accept cats for rescue at this time. **

Our New Year Wish For You

Main

There is a beautiful sunrise here at SASHA Farm today.  It is a cool, crisp morning and the humans have not left the warmth of their barn yet.  I can see them through the holes in their barn, standing with their herd, drinking from a trough small enough to hold with their hooves.  They look through those holes often.  I think humans like to see the light and beauty that shine in.  I do not need holes in my barn to see light and beauty.  I feel light and beauty; that feeling surrounds me.  The light and beauty in my life are my family, my friends, my caretakers, and my home.  I have lived here since I was a calf.  I grew big and strong here.  I grew my horns here.  I do not know fear or pain here.  I only know peace, love, kindness, and compassion.  This is my home.  This is SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary.

My wish for humans in the new year is that you become more like us animal residents of SASHA Farm.  Experience the calm that being surrounded by light and beauty gives to you.  Realize that animal life, human and non-human, is precious.  Feel the peace and love that we feel.  Share that peace and love with all animal life.  Rejoice daily.   

Your continued support and generosity have allowed the entire SASHA Farm herd, over 250 of us, to feel love, kindness, compassion, and peace every day of the year.  Thank you is all we have to offer so please acceptance our thanks and know that you and your support are meaningful to us. 

With our sincerest gratitude,

Tod
