Ching Farm Rescue & Sanctuary

Farm animals have the same emotional capacity as traditional companions like dogs and cats, yet modern cruelty laws do not apply to them. Under the law, they are seen as mere objects for human use.

Farm Animal Sanctuary in Utah

At Ching Farm, we fill a need in the Salt Lake area by advocating for farm animals through rescue, education, and adoption/placement services. We believe that our advocate work can help change perceptions of farm animals and create a deeper respect for the rich emotional lives of these animals.

Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary was founded by Faith and Mike Ching in Utah in 1998. The farm became incorporated as Ching Farm Rescue as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your donations are tax-deductible.

Please volunteer, donate, or just meet the animals!
