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.
