When you sponsor an animal for a month you will make a HUGE impact on the animal’s life by helping provide food, bedding, and vet care. With your donation, you will receive an email with pictures and a certificate of sponsorship as well as a coupon for one free Sanctuary Stroll to be redeemed upon arrival. Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves!

BJ joined the Iowa Farm Sanctuary family in November 2022 after he was rescued from a horrific neglect case in Washington County, IA. There were over 100 starving sheep, goats, and pigs living on the property amongst their dead friends and family members. The property was littered with piles of deceased animals. Nobody had access to adequate food or water, and everyone was starving. The poor souls on this property were languishing in some of the worst conditions we’ve ever seen.

Amazingly, BJ was in relatively good health at the time of his rescue despite living in such a hellish situation. We’re not sure how he managed it, but BJ was better nourished than most of the individuals he was rescued with. After getting to know BJ, we can’t say that we’re too surprised. This feisty little guy is full of mischief—always climbing, headbutting, and causing trouble. If anyone could find food, it’s this guy! He’s so resourceful and does not depend on humans to meet his needs. BJ is not interested in human interaction whatsoever. If treats are involved, he’ll consider it, but he’s definitely going to dine and dash. BJ is absolutely his own person, and we love that about him!
