Double Your Impact. Help Build the Barn.
Thanks to a generous matching commitment, gifts toward the new barn will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000.
Your $50 becomes $100, and your $100 becomes $200. Together, we can turn $50,000 in donations into $100,000 toward a new barn for the animals who call Erin’s Farm home.
More Than 30 Years of Second Chances

- More than 30 years of animal rescue
- 33 acres dedicated to sanctuary and care

Simon the Sheep
“Erin’s Farm gave me a fighting chance.”
Found badly injured on someone’s porch, I needed urgent help. Erin’s Farm rushed me to Purdue for emergency surgery and intensive care, giving me the chance to heal.
With one very grateful baa,
Simon
The Highway Hens
“From highway danger to a fresh start.”
When our crates fell from a transport truck, we were stranded in extreme heat. Erin’s Farm joined animal control and neighbors to rescue more than 100 of us and provide emergency care.
With grateful clucks,
The Highway Hens
