Charlotte started off as a weak, sick piglet. She was the runt of a litter and wasn’t doing well. The farmer’s daughter took Charlotte in and cared for her for the first 8 wks, and then she contacted us. Charlotte came to Cedar Row on June 15th and with continued attention and love she grew […]

2012: A Year in Review
We thought 2011 was a busy year for us at Cedar Row with the rescue of 32 sheep from The Ontario Vet College, and running between 2 farms, for 8 months, but 2012 has proven to be just as busy with many animals needing our help. In 2012 we have welcomed 4 new farm pigs, […]
Cock- A- Doodle- Doo x 2
Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary welcomed 2 new roosters on the weekend. We also found homes for 4 more roosters that were going to be euthanized if we couldn’t place them. These 2 beautiful boys will be hanging out with 6 other roosters, and numerous hens.
Trouble’s In Trouble
Cedar Row was asked to take Trouble, another turkey who survived a gassing at an industrial hatchery in London, Ontario.

Joaquin Walking!
Joaquin tried walking today! The swelling is coming down on his front, left foot, and he is able to put some pressure on it. He drags his hind legs behind him but is trying to very hard to stand up. We had our pig vet out to see him last Friday, and he thinks the […]
Joaquin Update
A few days ago we received a desperate plea from a young couple. They found a piglet left for dead in a field. Though our farm is overflowing, we could not in good conscience turn away an injured baby. We took the little one to the vet yesterday, and while he will need a ton […]
Joaquin the Piglet
We received an urgent email on Friday night, from a young couple who had rescued a piglet, not 2 weeks old, from a pasture near Pembroke. The little pig was left for dead, after his mother had accidentally stepped on him, leaving a large wound on his back. After being out in the pasture for […]
The Little Pig That Didn’t Go To Market
On an especially sweaty summer day this past July, a baby pig tumbled off a transport truck on the 401. Bloodied and bruised from her fall, confused by the loud noises of the highway, she ran across two lanes of traffic and hid herself in the bushes on the shoulder of the road. Thankfully, a […]
