        We are over the moon to introduce Phoebe and Titan, a mini Hereford mom and son joining us from Middletown, Connecticut. Phoebe, now around 7, was rescued from slaughter a little over two years ago and gave birth to Titan soonafter on March 4, 2023.
        We are over the moon to introduce Phoebe and Titan, a mini Hereford mom and son joining us from Middletown, Connecticut. Phoebe, now around 7, was rescued from slaughter a little over two years ago and gave birth to Titan soonafter on March 4, 2023. Her most recent guardian is fairly certain she’s had multiple calves, with Titan being the only one she got to keep. The sweet and shy pair are settling in nicely, exploring their new space and relishing yummy treats as we ingratiate ourselves to them (their fave: bananas). Massive shoutout to @farmsanctuary for facilitating this adoption and bringing these beautiful creatures our way, and to their former guardian for entrusting us with Phoebe and Titan’s care. Reach out to schedule a farm tour so you can meet these beauties and all the other animals who’ve found sanctuary here. 🐓🐄🐴🐖🦙
