Adopt A Turkey Project

Serena & Thelma “The Besties” Serena (“The Swiftie”) and Thelma (“The Tender Heart”) are the best of friends. In fact, these turkeys are like sisters. In the freedom of sanctuary, they choose to spend time lounging and sunbathing side by side. The “older sister” of the duo, Serena, knows what she wants and she believes her place is at the top of the flock hierarchy. But it’s clear that Thelma has a special place in her heart. For just a one-time gift of $55, you can adopt BOTH Serena and...

Ferris “The Underdog" Ferris was going to be sold at a feed store, but when an employee contacted Second Chance Chickens Microsanctuary to save another young bird named Faye, Ferris got his chance to live, too. Both came to us at Farm Sanctuary, where Ferris lived a life of joy until he passed away this October. He loved to strut around, show off his feathers, and hang out with his best buddy Erol rooster. Mealtime was his favorite part of the day, and he never turned down extra snacks like...

Freyja “The Introvert” When Freyja’s former guardian passed away, his wife kept his promise to Freyja and the other animals living on their farm. She reached out to Farm Sanctuary to make sure they would be safe and loved. Today, Freyja spends most of her time foraging with best friends Brunnhilde and Roberto—or lounging in the barn they have all to themselves. She’s nervous around humans but sometimes comes close enough to accept a berry or a gentle scratch. Each Farm Sanctuary Adopt a Turkey...

Serena “The Swiftie” Serena turkey was not born on a large factory farm—but her scars remind us turkeys on small farms endure painful practices like debeaking, too. Thankfully, a local rescuer saved her and her “sister” Venus, and they spent five years together at Farm Sanctuary. When Venus passed away, Serena found comfort in her turkey and human friends. Today, she’s a snuggly gal but a bold leader of her flock who loves soaking up attention and listening to Taylor Swift. Each Farm Sanctuary...

Thelma “The Tender Heart” Thelma’s rescuer freed her from meat production, but soon after, wildfires nearly destroyed her new home. Thelma once again needed a safe place to land––and we welcomed this sweet and sensitive soul with open arms and open hearts. She is kind and cuddly, snuggling up with her friends Serena and Eric at bedtime, listening to music, and following caregivers around until they give her affection. Each Farm Sanctuary Adopt a Turkey sponsors receives: A beautiful adoption...

The Flock Having a hard time deciding who to adopt? Adopt The Flock! Each member of our turkey flock has their own personality. Serena, sweet and fun, is a bold leader. Thelma is kind and always up for a snuggle. Freyja is shy and gentle, our thoughtful introvert. Ferris was confident and charming, always after the spotlight. Despite their differences, they are each a cherished member of our Farm Sanctuary family—and ambassadors for the 46 million turkeys lost to the Thanksgiving holiday. Each...
