Farm Animal Rescue & Rehoming Movement (FARRM)
An animal sanctuary near Wetaskiwin, Alberta with facilities for surrendered and abused farm animals and cats.
Who we are
Farm Animal Rescue and Rehoming Movement (FARRM) is a grassroots sanctuary home to abused, neglected and unwanted animals.
Established in 2013 initially as a landing place for abandoned and unwanted potbelly pigs, FARRM has expanded our reach to not only potbelly pigs, but also to other farm type animals.

Backstory: After being contacted by a concerned neighbor we were put in touch with a gentleman in the St. Albert area who had a sheep escape from his working farm. While loading his herd up for auction one of the sheep managed to get out and go on the run in the very rural area. It became apparent through our conversations that this person had no interest in catching the escaped sheep as it was not worth his time and effort. The call for help to catch this sheep came in late that evening. Once we had the owner’s permission to keep the sheep, if we were able to catch her we decided as a team to head out that night. Our biggest concern being that if left out without protection for another night she might not survive.
What ensued after the 1.5 hour drive was nothing but a display of sheer will power and determination. Trying to catch a scared, unsocialized sheep with endless amounts of space to run and hide was hard enough. Trying to do this in the middle of the night, in a dark, remote area surrounded by heavily wooded areas and deep snow was near impossible. Nonetheless, we spent nearly 5 hours tracking this poor girl. Using flashlights to follow tracks through knee deep snow. For hours in the cold we searched and searched with no sign of her. Exhausted and ready to call it quits we got a text from one of the members of our team saying “we got her”.
