Whispering Acres truly cares for all the neglected and abused animals they take in. Their site is beautiful and peaceful. They are always looking for ways to make it grow to take in even more animals. Their volunteers are wonderful and Scott and Janine are amazing people!

Whispering Acres is wonderful! My animal rescue can save animals that we can't necessary personally give a home to because of them. They provide amazing care and lots of love to all the animals they serve.

Whispering Acres Farm Sanctuary located in Medina County Ohio is a place many displaced farm animals find refuge. As a volunteer and donor I have found myself caring for these sweet animals that I have never been around in my life. It’s a wonderful mix of goats, pigs, donkeys, horses, ducks and a naughty cow named Bitty. I encourage everyone to support this little farm as they expand their facility and strive to make the best life possible for hundred of farm animals in need.

My husband and I are supporters/donors of Whispering Acres because we believe every animal deserves a fair chance at life and a home free of abuse and neglect. I’m now a volunteer which gives me an opportunity to know the animals and contribute on a deeper level. Please get involved or donate so this farm can continue to thrive.

Janine is an amazing person! We have a small hobby farm in the area with animals/pets that are cared for & loved like family . That being said we have been faced with health challenges that have given us no choice but to find a new home for our beloved animals. There is absolutely no one or no place that we could imagine them living out their lives in the care of other than Janine at her sanctuary. She has been an amazing support during this beyond difficult time. She is truly a godsend to us and our animals as we slowly come to terms with saying goodbye. We can never express how grateful we are to Janine!

We met Janine when we had a baby goat rejected by it's mother. She was very week, and probably minutes away from dying. Janine took her in, jump started her and now she is Poptart, living her best life with the other animals at the sanctuary. This place is magical.

Joe and I visited this amazing place in the spring. The most amazing thing was all the animals seemed to get along. Far Far Far exceeded our expectations. Husband Joe especially enjoys meeting his new friend Andrew.

There are sanctuaries and then there is whispering acres. The animals all have a lot of room, enrichment activities and expert vet care and nutritional consults. I am the director of a local spca and whispering acres is the ONLY place we will use for farm animal rescues. The love that these broken animals is given heals them from the inside out. .

Whispering acres helped us rehome our goats to their amazing sanctuary. The animals there get the best care that I have ever seen. Jeannine truly loves and cares for each of them. I get so excited when she sends up updates. All of the animals have names and are treated too notch.
A+ sanctuary.

I found out about Whispering Acres in 2032 but unfortunately didn't make it til this year. Since then I have been numerous times. Hearing the stories of what some of these animals have been through and seeing how far they have come truly touches my heart. Janine, her family, employees and volunteers are doing an amazing job. I will continue to support, donate and go Whispering Acres as often as possible. Visiting Whispering Acres has definitely been the highlight of my summer. Just walking around and spending time with the animals just makes my day. Will continue to visit as much as I can. Absolutely ❤️ this place.

Janine and her staff are unbelievably dedicated! They love all their animals like family. For our annual festival this past September in Litchfield, OH they provided a petting zoo for attendees. It was an amazing success! One of their goats even got to go on stage with the band!

This Sanctuary is amazing. The amount of love and care for their animals is unimaginable. My dad is I’ll with cancer and he and my mom made the heartbreaking decision to find their horse a new forever home. The people that operate this place jumped in without hesitation to help and take our girl in. Definitely one of a kind people and sanctuary.

Loved visiting this farm rescue sanctuary and will definitely be back again soon… the stories of each rescued farm animal will warm your heart. This family really care deeply for each and every animal, like one of their very own family member. Please donate to them often, add them on Amazon Smiles and consider becoming a monthly sponsor too.

One couple dreamed big and dedicated their lives, time, and resources to offering a safe home for farm animals in crisis. And look at them now! Support this family-friendly sanctuary for some of the most charming critters in Ohio. The owners/sponsors for Whispering Acres heeds the call of endangered farm animals in need of veterinary care, nutritional diets, appropriate shelter, and safety. Every dollar raised is spent to protect their animals. This nonprofit knows how to honor your investment. Set up an appointment to visit to see miracles in action.

We have been visiting Whispering Acres for about 6 months now. We love spending time with all the different animals and learning their stories. We can tell how much love and care they are getting just by the way they interact with us.

It is always a pleasure volunteering at Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary. The animals are very well taken care of, and are very friendly and healthy. They have respect for the volunteers as well as all of the gas that is it.

My children and I were introduced to Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary at the Medina County Fair this Summer 2022.

A pleasant educated young lady was strolling around one of the rescued animals. There was a sign on the stroller saying where the adorable animal was from and that donations were being accepted for their organization.

She was stopping to share with anyone interested- the sweet animal’s story as well as the organization’s work. It was a wonderful way to learn about a great resource for special animals in our own community and know there’s some pretty neat unique people around us who make this possible!!

I love this place. And Janine is the sweetest person I met moving to Ohio from Florida. We have a pot belly pig and I reached out to her when we were moving to ask if you knew any transporters to get our baby to our new home. She without hesitation you offered him to stay there until our new home was set up for him. She and her volunteers are taking great care of him until our fence and home is ready for him. All the animals there are loved and also very cared for. We have a blast visiting with them.
