Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary is the real deal! I've had the pleasure of knowing Anna for about 7 years and on occasion, have played the role of caretaker for these sweet residents. Anna gives her time, money and absolute self to these animals who have, through no fault of their own, suffered neglect and various traumas early in their lives. Watching the animals receive the love and care that they deserve is absolutely heartwarming. To know that they are safe and will live the rest of their lives without fear, is just one of the reasons that I will continue volunteer with and support JAFAS for years to come.
I got to visit Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary recently. What a wonderful place!
The residents there appeared to be so happy, like they were living their best life.
Petey the farm pig was especially amusing, running around with a giant sweet potato in his mouth. He was like a silly dog with a bone. I can’t wait to visit again
Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary saves lives by rescuing innocent animals from devastating situations and providing them with safety, dignity, shelter, nutritious food, healthcare, community, and love. The world needs more sanctuaries like JAFAS but if you can't create your own sanctuary, donating to JAFAS is a great way to support this important work!
Jenna and Friends is an amazing place to visit! Anna, the owner, is super friendly- and so are all her rescues!! I went at least once a month while I was in college at UNC so help destress and connect with nature. The piggies love belly rubs, so make sure to give them plenty while you're there! :-)
I’ve been visiting Jenna and Friends for a few years, and I have so much respect and admiration for Anna and the wonderful life she gives to the animals she rescues. Her devotion to them knows no end, and she is an excellent spokesperson for the rights of all animals to live as peacefully as those under her care. JAFAS is a great place to be a pig or rooster.
I love Jenna and Friends! I've been volunteering on and off for the past few years, and Anna (the owner) always welcomes me. You get to be up-close and personal with the pigs and also help out by scooping poop. Not only does this work benefit the pigs; it is also therapeutic for people!
The pigs and roosters and other rescue animals enjoy a safe, comfortable, loving forever home at Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary in North Carolina. Anna O'Neal, the founder of this micro-sanctuary, is absolutely devoted to her rescues. 100% of the donations the non-profit sanctuary receives go to the care of the animals. The rescue animals have warm housing, plenty of fresh and healthy food, varied terrain to explore, and friends to socialize with. Anna also welcomes volunteers and presents to the public to raise awareness about animal welfare. Check out jennaandfriendsanimalsanctuary.org to read stories about the animals and to sponsor or donate. You can also add a cheerful note to your day by following the sanctuary on Instagram and Facebook.
Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary is absolutely amazing. Anna loves and cares for the animals with all of her heart. I am truly in awe of all of the time, effort, and love that these animals receive on a daily basis.
