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 a special downloadable 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!

Trudy isn’t just a beautiful Jersey/Holstein cross; she’s a symbol of hope and resilience. Just days before her rescue, Trudy faced an uncertain fate with a slaughter appointment already scheduled. Her loving family had cherished her as their first and last cow, and the thought of losing her was simply heartbreaking.

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, Trudy’s life took a miraculous turn. Your generous donations made her rescue possible, granting her a second chance to live out her senior days in peace and happiness at Iowa Farm Sanctuary.

While Trudy’s journey to safety was certainly scary, her gentle spirit and well-mannered nature have shone through. She’s adjusting beautifully to her new home, where she will thrive surrounded by love, friendship, and plenty of fresh grass to munch on!

Our mission with Trudy is to ensure she experiences the best life possible in her golden years. She has her own cozy space in our sanctuary, and we’re excited for all of you to meet her and witness the joy she brings to all.

Trudy’s rescue is not just her story; it’s a testament to the power of compassion and community. Thank you for believing in Trudy and for helping us provide her with a bright, loving future!
