This includes an expanding list of sanctuaries who specifically take in animals that would traditionally be thought of as farm animals. Some of them also help domestic species such as dogs, cats, and/or wildlife species.
After much searching I also found the Farm Animal Adoption Network and the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries which are international, but the rest of the organizations are divided by continent and country.
To anyone considering or planning their own animal sanctuary, the following is basically an opensource guide to doing so in ways that can benefit both the animals and visitors alike.
The Open Sanctuary Project "is a freely accessible, always growing digital guide for any resources or information you need in order to responsibly create and successfully manage an animal sanctuary or to provide the best possible care to animals in order to help them live long, healthy, happy lives free of exploitation
Exploitation is characterized by the abuse of a position of physical, psychological, emotional, social, or economic vulnerability to obtain agreement from someone (e.g., humans and nonhuman animals) or something (e.g, land and water) that is unable to reasonably refuse an offer or demand. It is also characterized by excessive self gain at the expense of something or someone else’s labor, well-being, and/or existence.
All of our resources are researched and responsibly crafted with the intention of promoting compassionate care standards and practices for animals in need of help and sanctuary, while identifying and discouraging practices that are exploitative or harmful to the individual."
Refarmd "We work with farmers to make the transition from cows' milk to the production of plant based drinks, and at the same time convert their farmland into animal sanctuaries."
If your main goal is to support these types of places financially, many of them are happy to take cash donations, some sell things like mugs and T-shirts, or collaborate with artists, but now the abillion app gives you the option to select from sanctuaries and other organizations who promote animal wellfare projects and environmentalism to financially support them just by rating vegan products to raise money. There's a full list of their current partners here.
Please let us know if we've missed a sanctuary that should be here, and check back for updates!

"Each year Austin Farm Sanctuary is contacted by distressed students and their worried parents desperately searching for a forever home for an animal that they have grown to love during their 4H or FFA program. In fact, many residents at AFS came to us as a result of these programs, including Norbert, Doya, Milkshake, and Thrasher.
The LEAP program will break that cycle.
Instead of learning about animals by raising one for auction, students will learn about animals by caring for sanctuary residents. All of the animals that they encounter will be safe and loved at the sanctuary, so they are free to learn and form relationships without the fear of a traumatic ending.
AFS believes that LEAP will prepare the next generation of leaders to transform our food systems, advocate for animal welfare and human rights, tackle the challenges of food deserts and diet-related diseases, and lead the way in climate solutions, sustainability, and wildlife conservation.
Educators and Parents, you can help!
If you know any school administrators, teachers, or high school students that might be interested in the program, please share.
Admission for the 2023-2024 school year is now open! Students can apply here.

The Pollination Project (TPP) "is a vegan foundation that offers seed funding to grassroots activists working to build a kinder, more compassionate world for human & non-human animals.
TPP focuses on early stage ideas and funds individuals directly. Over the years, they’ve seen the power of bottom-up, community-led grassroots activism. Through “pollination philanthropy”– a democratic model of peer-to-peer decision-making — TPP works with a global network of grantees, community partners, and volunteer advisors to identify extraordinary project leaders who, due to the grassroots nature of their work, are often not in a position to receive funding from other foundations or institutions.
They make micro grants 365 days a year to grassroots global change agents and have a growing global community of 4,500 grassroots leaders in 150 countries. They support vegan outreach projects around the world, and have a special program for farmed animal activists in Brazil, India and Mexico. Their goal is to offer not just seed funding, but capacity-building support and connectivity with other activists working in the same geographic or issue area."
