How to Adopt or Surrender a Farm Animal at Winding Branch Ranch

At Winding Branch Ranch, we specialize in rescuing, reviving, and rehoming farm animals in need. Whether you're looking to adopt a farm animal or need to surrender one, we’re here to help.

Adopting a Farm Animal

If you’re searching for a goat, horse, donkey, pig, sheep, chicken, or even an emu to adopt, Winding Branch Ranch offers loving, rehabilitated animals looking for forever homes. Our adoption process ensures a great match:

1. Submit an Adoption Inquiry – Give us a call or email us at placements@windingbranchranch.org to review and fill out the application.

2. Meet the Animals – We’ll schedule a visit so you can interact with the animals in person.

3. Home Check & Approval – We evaluate space, time, additional animals, housing, and other needs to ensure a safe and responsible home.

4. Finalize the Adoption – Once approved, we’ll help you transition your new farm friend into your care.

Our animals are only placed as pets and companions—they are not to be used for breeding, meat, or production purposes.

Surrendering a Farm Animal

Depending on space, we accept:

✅ Goats

✅ Horses

✅ Donkeys

✅ Pigs

To surrender an animal:

1. Contact Us – Reach out via our website or email to discuss your situation.

2. Assessment – We evaluate space availability and your animal’s health and needs.

3. Temporary Holding & Rehoming Support – If we don’t have space, we can help you hold them while we look for a new home.

   
   

We carefully screen potential adopters to ensure each animal goes to a safe and loving environment, prioritizing their well-being. If you’re considering adoption or surrender, reach out today at placements@windingbranchranch.org.
