The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary

The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary provides a forever home for all types of animals rescued from the farming industry. They will live out their entire lives in a beautiful natural setting treated with kindness and respect.

It all started with Desi Moo Moo our first calf, rescued from the dairy industry at a week old. His future was confinement in a veal crate and slaughter at 3 months. He would never eat grass or play with another calf. When he was just 2 weeks old we rescued our pink pig Lucy, a tiny piglet and the two immediately bonded and became life long friends. As Desi got bigger they both joined Baby the donkey and her best friend Betty Big Nose, grazing in a huge field. One year later we rescued another two male calves from slaughter, Scooter and Sparky, and we officially announced our home The Happy Herd in 2014!

The Happy Herd is located in the beautiful Fraser Valley, outside Vancouver, B.C. Canada, on 4 acres. The feeling that anyone who visits gets is just a calm, safe place and the animals that arrive seem to feel it too.We are thrilled just how many kind and caring people have found us and want to share this experience.
