Exposure = Empathy
BallydÃdean rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes farmed animals who are unwanted, neglected, or abused. Through tours and community education, we give people the chance to make friends with animals they typically only meet on their dinner plate, giving them an opportunity to rethink their relationship with farmed animals.
We place farmed animals in pet homes. We do an interview and a virtual walkthrough of the enclosures where our adoptive animals would live to make sure it meets everyone's expectations. Adopters also have the opportunity to meet the animals in person at our sanctuary on Whidbey Island near Seattle. We charge a nominal adoption fee of up to $250 depending on the animal and require adopters to sign a contract describing how the animal is to be treated.
