Some animals hit the jackpot when they find homes. They instantly become members of the family, sleeping in bed, getting spoiled on holidays (and every other day), and just making over lives better. Unfortunately, not all animals are that fortunate, especially farm animals. Many farm animals face unspeakable cruelty, abuse, and neglect, yet that rarely garners much attention.This animal sanctuary in Pennsylvania provides a lifelong sanctuary for some of the lucky farm animals.
Rescued from neglect, abuse, and horrific situations, more than 300 lucky farm animals have found their "heaven on earth" at Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Dalton.
Founded and run by Indra Lahiri, Indraloka Animal Sanctuary holds accreditation from both the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) and the American Sanctuary Association (ASA).
The sanctuary has saved thousands of farm animals since it first opened in 2005. It has several different missions, including advocating for farm animals.
You can even join other animal lovers on a two-hour tour of the 100-acre sanctuary that's home to an array of friendly, curious animals - each with his or her own name and story.
Due to current events, the sanctuary is closed to visitors. However, until it reopens with its tours and other events, you can still get involved and help out.
You can, for example, sponsor an animal, with monthly donations beginning at just $20. In return, you'll receive a photo of your animal, more about his or her background, and a sponsorship certificate.
