Our Adopt a Turkey Project is currently inactive. Please click here for information about our Adopt a Farm Animal Project which runs year round.

At Farm Sanctuary, we are changing how the world sees turkeys. For 40 years—each Thanksgiving season since 1986—our Adopt a Turkey Project has encouraged people to embrace a compassionate holiday tradition by sponsoring a rescued turkey.

Since Clyde, the very first turkey we rescued, began leading the way, countless birds have found refuge at Farm Sanctuary, and Adopt a Turkey supporters have helped us provide them with lifelong care.

Your symbolic adoption helps Farm Sanctuary provide individualized care to our turkey residents daily, advocate for the billions of animals still suffering in our food system, and educate millions of people about the happy and full lives turkeys lead when they’re given the chance.

Adopt for yourself or as a gift for a friend, and begin your new holiday tradition rooted in kindness.
