Pumpkin Wall Farm Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is dedicated to the lifetime care of a limited population of surrendered farm animals. Treated with kindness, compassion, and love, they live out their lives in the safety of our Care Farm where together we are committed to improving the lives of children, adolescents, and adults with and without disabilities through farm-based therapy and community outreach.
We specialize in Pet Assisted Therapy through our rescue work including working hand in hand with therapists and their clients alongside the animals to achieve their therapy goals, foster and adopted children, home schooling programs and children 13 to 18 who have been court ordered to do community service. We also assist individuals of all ages who struggle with autism, ADHD, ODD, depression, PTSD, anxiety, bereavement and more. The resident animals who consist of mostly rescue animals and a handful of selected animals for the program aid in assisting humans with improving self-esteem, social skills, coping skills, and mental health.
We are honored to have partnered with parents who do home schooling to create a weekly program for their curriculum; Families who have loved ones with disabilities and have entered our Friends of Pumpkin Wall Farm program; The Upper Room, a family resource center; Community Crossroads and Center for Life Management, who provide comprehensive mental health services for their clients’ therapy needs; and Pinkerton, Londonderry, and Salem High Schools.
We hope to bring peace to hearts and souls of all ages.
