A farm animal sanctuary located just north of Reno, Nevada near Pyramid Lake

Who we are

CockadoodleMoo Farm Animal Sanctuary provides a lifetime home for abused and rescued farm animals as well as feral cats, plus extra care and protection for wild animals who happen onto the farm. And the occasional other animal in need.

Wishlist — most-needed items

The following non-cash items would be extremely helpful. Used but good condition is fine. (For less pressing but still needed wishlist items, click here.)

* Large wire bird or small-animal cage — This would be used when a chicken needs round-the-clock care.

* Chain-link panels — These would be used to build isolation pens. When new animals come to the sanctuary, they must be kept separate from the others for about 30 days to determine if it's safe from a disease standpoint to introduce them.
