Mociso Farms Livestock Sanctuary & Rescue. Providing Compassionate Care for Senior, Abandoned, Abused and Special Needs Farm Animals
“The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man,” said Charles Darwin, and at Mociso Farms Sanctuary and Rescue you will find Michelle & Brian Cooper who set up this non profit charity to provide compassionate care for senior, abandoned, abused and special needs farm animals, a noble act indeed.
Their Mission and Goals
Here at Mociso Farms Sanctuary we provide homes for animals who are in need. Many senior farm animals need a place to retire when their work on a farm is done. Many well-intentioned owners can no longer provide the best care for the livestock they have. Unfortunately, some farm animals are abused, neglected, and abandoned. Many come to us with special needs.
Here at Mociso Farms Livestock Sanctuary & Rescue, we strive to provide for these beautiful, farmed animals by offering appropriate nutrition, free-range pasture, shelter, love, and compassion.
Our rescues arrive here scared and unsure. Many have been traumatized. We do not stress them further by having a rotation of strange faces in front of them. We are also highly aware of transmittable diseases. These sweet rescues may have health issues that can be further compromised by visitors. Avian flu, now passing to humans from livestock, is a major threat.

*** Their Farm Sanctuary is named after their first 3 rescues? ***
Mojito (aka MoeMoe) was a pug terrier mix rescued from a Florida shelter. Moe Moe has since left us for Doggie Heaven and took a good chunk of our hearts with him.
CiCi is pictured above. A feisty little senior Chihuahua mix that took on FIVE coyotes and survived!
Sofie, an American Eskimo, was rescued from a very abusive situation. Ten years later, her damaged hips have healed, and she is the biggest snuggle bunny ever! EDIT: Sadly, our sweet Sofie left this earth April 2024
