Koa
In Need of a Sponsor
Koa came to Iowa Farm Sanctuary after enduring something no lamb should ever have to face. Originally intended to be a child’s 4-H project, she was discarded and left in untreated, horrific pain after a botched tail docking procedure caused serious injury. Rather than receiving the care she desperately needed, Koa was deemed not worth saving — and faced slaughter.
We couldn’t let that be her story.
After weeks of intensive care and multiple trips to the vet, Koa pulled through. She is living proof that with time, patience, and love, healing is possible. She is safe now. She is seen. She matters.
Koa will never again be mutilated, commodified, denied veterinary care, or abandoned. She will spend the rest of her days knowing exactly what she always deserved — a life full of peace, safety, and the freedom to just be a lamb.
We are so grateful she found her way to us.
When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping Koa with all of her care, from routine vet visits to daily feedings.
With your yearly sponsorship (payments recurring monthly) you will receive quarterly updates and pictures of your resident in your email, your name on the IFS website, plus a spot on our exclusive sponsorship slideshow, viewable in the IFS store. Also, receive a free pass for all Sanctuary Strolls for the duration of your sponsorship!
Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves! This is the gift that keeps on giving, for you and for Koa.
