Yuri
Tamerlaine Farm Animal Sanctuary, Montague, New Jersey
Yuri and his buddy Jupiter were the first two residents of Tamerlaine. Rescued from a hoarding situation, the boys and their unique personalities spurred the founders of Tamerlaine to commit to being a full-fledged sanctuary. Yuri is an outgoing rooster, not fearful of humans, in fact he delights in breakfast jaunts into the house to attempt to steal his human caregivers’ food. Instead of being yet another acquisition of a hoarder, Yuri and Jupiter became family members.
Fiona & Teddy
Tamerlaine Farm Animal Sanctuary, Montague, New Jersey
Fiona and Teddy both came from a wintertime Harlem hatching project. No one locally would adopt the fragile chicks during winter, so Tamerlaine took them in with a promise from the teacher to never hatch chicks again and utilize the many resources that do not take advantage of living beings for study. Fiona and Teddy have a ritual of grooming each other lovingly. This is a common behavior among chickens, but these girls are diligent about it with each other, just one way of expressing their bonds of friendship and love.

Tamerlaine wants to give people the opportunity to get to know farmed animals as the individuals they each are. As a sanctuary, we can only ever rescue a drop in the bucket from the billions exploited and killed, but we can provide the individuals we rescue the best possible lives and help tell their stories to inspire change and help those still suffering. And so we rescue and rehabilitate, provide lifelong care, and seek to educate the public about these issues to create a more compassionate world.
