There are over 100 rescued animals that you can visit for free at Barn Sanctuary in Chelsea which is about a half-hour west of Ann Arbor.

Animal lovers will go nuts for this farm animal rescue whose main goal is rehabilitating abused and neglected animals in need.

Barn Sanctuary is a non-profit rescue that was established in 2016 and provides an amazing home specifically for farmed animals because farmed animals are the most abused and neglected group of animals in the world.

It's really truly amazing to see the work that they do at Barn Sanctuary. When I say work, I mean hard work as it's not easy taking care of farm animals. Not to mention, they do this work mainly because of their love for the animals they're saving and not for a paycheck. Yes, it's all done out of the goodness of their hearts.
