About

CockadoodleMoo is a small, all-volunteer sanctuary north of Reno, Nevada that provides a lifetime home to abused and rescued farm animals. Starting in 2007, our sanctuary cares for chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, pigs, donkeys, and more! Because the animals in our care have generally come from traumatic backgrounds — and because, even with the best intentions, a new home can be stressful and scary — we do not adopt out anyone we've taken in. 

​

Please add vegan meals to your day — for your health, the planet's health, and for the animals.

How to Help
Volunteering

Volunteer — between May and September

We love having volunteers! They allow us to do projects that improve the quality of life and health of the animals, strengthen their pens and housing, and protect them from wildfire danger. 

​

When: We have volunteers out generally on Saturdays from about 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. between May and September. For employers and others who would like to volunteer as a group, contact us and we can work with you on scheduling an outing that works with your organization's needs.

​

How to volunteer: Just email us with possible dates you'd like to come out, how many would be coming with you, their approximate ages, and we'll set something up. 

Animal needing a home?

If you have a farm animal you are trying to find a home for...

You can email us about a farm animal in need of a new home. Because the animals we take in often stay here for years, we're generally full, especially for roosters. So here are two other options you might try:
