Farm Sanctuary is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization. Since incorporating in 1986, Farm Sanctuary has worked to expose and stop cruel practices of the "food animal" industry through research and investigations, legal and institutional reforms, public awareness projects, youth education, and direct rescue and refuge efforts. Farm Sanctuary shelters in Watkins Glen, N.Y., and Orland, Calif., provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals, who have become ambassadors for farm animals everywhere by educating visitors about the realities of factory farming.  

Adopt-A-Turkey Project has rescued more than one thousand turkeys from a thankless fate at the dinner table and given thousands of people an opportunity to adopt a turkey for the holidays. Sponsor "adopt" a turkey who lives at Farm Sanctuary's Watkins Glen, New York or Orland, California shelter for farm animals. For a one-time $25 adoption fee, adopters receive a special Adopt-A-Turkey certificate with color photograph and fun details about your new friend, a Farm Sanctuary membership for one year, and a one-year subscription to Sanctuary, our quarterly magazine. As a turkey adopter, you will not only contribute funds for the care of rescued animals, but will also help Farm Sanctuary educate and advocate for turkeys, and other farm animals, everywhere. Every year, more people are choosing to celebrate a compassionate Thanksgiving for ALL by saving a turkey! The Adopt-A-Turkey Project is a program of Farm Sanctuary, the nation's largest farm animal rescue and protection organization.
