Learn about the sanctuary, our wonderful residents, what we do, and how you can help create a better world for all.
Join Fannie, a spirited and courageous chicken with a heart as big as her dreams, on an adventure of a lifetime in Chickens Are Animals, Too! After being rescued from a bleak future, Fannie finds warmth and love in Abbie’s home alongside a motley crew of pets. But when she learns that her fellow chickens are not considered animals by the world, Fannie feels called to fight this injustice. With a dash of pluck and determination, she organizes an unprecedented march on Washington, rallying chickens and allies from every corner to fight for recognition and rights.
This whimsical, heartwarming tale for middle-grade readers is a journey of friendship, courage, compassion, and the power of speaking up for what’s right. Fannie and her friends will whisk you away on their quest to bend the arc of history toward justice. A story as fun as it is inspiring, Chickens Are Animals, Too! proves that even the smallest voices can echo the loudest calls for change. Will Fannie succeed in her mission, or is the world just too big for one little chicken with big dreams? There’s only one way to find out!
"Just as a mother with her own life protects her child, her only child, from harm, so within yourself let grow a boundless love for all creatures..."

Fannie, one of the original Sweet Peeps, loves to be loved & wants you to know that chickens are people too!
