We aren't taking in cats right now but yesterday we had someone drop off two tiny kittens. We just know there is someone out there to love them. They are about maybe 6 weeks old so they are still a little shy. Can you give these sweet, fuzzy little kitties a forever home?

This past weekend we got information about a puppy in distress. A friend of SASHA Farm came across a Craig's List ad stating "Free Puppy, her leg is broken and we cannot fix it". We were concerned because at just 5 months old Amy faces living with a broken leg that has gone untreated for a month. We convinced the person to hand her over. If they could not pay to fix her leg then someone else had to very soon. Her leg needed to be saved from permanently becoming a disability for her. We went and picked Amy up and now she has an appointment to get surgery at Michigan State to repair the fracture. She is like any 5 month old puppy full of energy but with a sad little limp. We hope there is no nerve damage and her leg can be fixed. This type of situation just reminds us that when we take on bringing an animal into our lives we take on ALL the responsibility in their care for the rest of their life. Once Amy has recovered from her surgery she will be up for adoption. If you would like to help SASHA Farm with Amy's surgery you can donate here: https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=895a7c

Still don’t have plans for after graduation? Why not apply for SASHA Farm’s Volunteer Internship program. Interning with us will offer a unique experience caring for and interacting with our rescued animals. From former slaughterhouse cows to pigs rescued from research labs, you can be a part of the work that we do. Our interns perform a wide variety of tasks from feeding the animals to cleaning and helping with first aid care. Interns also help with our on-site events, administrative tasks and training new volunteers.
We require a minimum 30 day commitment. All applicants must be 18 years or older. Currently we offer off-site and on-site internships. Email info@sashafarm.org for an application.

Back in February we were contacted by the National Museum of Animals & Society, NMAS about being involved in “Un-Cooped: Deconstructing the Domesticated Chicken”. This exhibit will explore the origins of and the cultural attitudes towards one of the most common—yet most often overlooked—of all domesticated animals: the chicken. We were excited to be a part of it. Committed volunteer and talented photographer, Greg Scherban took some amazing photos of our special needs rooster Penguin. In the Portrait Gallery we are 12th row down 4th entry from the left. It's a really interesting exhibit. http://uncooped.org/

Join us for an afternoon at the farm. Meet the animals, enjoy refreshments and activities for the kids. Sunday, June 9th from Noon - 4pm. Sponsor an animal you meet or shop our SASHA merchandise. We look forward to meeting you!

Join us! Our next meeting is Sunday, May 19th at 1pm. We have 3 events at the farm coming up and we need some extra hands. We also need new ideas for ways to bring in funds year round. With almost 300 rescued animals to care for we need all the help we can get. We need everything from people to work events to people with fundraising skills, marketing experience, advertising connections, grant writers, social media campaign genius and so much more. If you ever wanted to help SASHA Farm but was not sure how we have many ways you can. We'd love to see you at the meeting or hear from you via email at info@sashafarm.org

It has been a very busy last few days for us. We had the Banquet on Saturday, VegFest on Sunday and the Bake Sale yesterday. You are all responsible for helping us raise much needed funds to keep SASHA Farm going. We cannot express how grateful we are to have your support so we can do what we do best-care for these precious rescued animals. It has been a tough year financially so we thank you and the animals do too. As we get caught up we will get you info very soon on the next event which is at the farm in June. :)

Everyone who purchases a ticket to our banquet for SASHA animals on April 20th will be entered into a drawing to win one of these necklaces. 3 winners will be drawn the night of the banquet to win a necklace inspired by SASHA Farm animals and the work we do. Good luck! 

Sometimes bad things happen and you have to make the most of it. Due to a scheduling snafu, our banquet is being moved to April 20th. Due to this, we are lowering the ticket price to $60 in hopes that we can still pull off the event and still bring in some much needed funds for our animal buddies at the farm. If you already purchased tickets, you will be contacted about it individually. We'll do what we can to make this great! Let's celebrate the animals on the 20th!

We are very excited to announce our guest speaker for this year's banquet. John Oberg will be joining us for the evening. John Oberg is an outreach coordinator for the national animal advocacy organization, Vegan Outreach. In the last 3 1/2 years and across 35 US states and 3 Canadian provinces, he has distributed over 300,00 pamphlets that describe how animals are treated in factory farms while promoting a vegan diet. He engages in outreach at universities across the United States and Canada and is currently on a 6-week tour through every nook and cranny in Michigan, raising awareness about the plight of today's farm animals. We look forward to having John speak at our event and we hope you will join us too.
