Founded in 1989 Animal Place is one of the oldest and largest sanctuaries for farmed animals in the country. Nestled on 600-acres in Grass Valley, CA, it provides refuge to hundreds of neglected farmed animals.

In addition to permanent sanctuary, Animal Place's Rescue Ranch is a 60-acre adoption center, placing needy farmed animals into permanent homes. Since its inception in 2011, more than 15,000 farmed animals have been saved and placed into forever homes.



It operates a residential internship program, housing up to 7 interns at a time. Animal Place strives to create meaningful change for farmed animals through diet, advocacy and education. It offers farm tours, and educational workshops to introduce folks to ways they can help. Its mission is simple - to extend compassion to all.
