The Homestead Animal Sanctuary rescues and fosters hundreds of farm animals throughout Northeast Ohio.
BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — For most people, one or two pets is enough. Carly and Andrew Keserich are not most people. They take in as many animals as they can, as the founders of The Homestead Animal Sanctuary.
“It was sort of this niche thing, and it really took off in the neighborhood,” said Carly. “We started getting all these calls and people asking if we would take their animals. That turned into ‘Hey, do you want my pig,’ or ‘Hey, so-and-so has a goat, do you want it?’ So we knew it was something there was definitely a need for.”
But if the animal’s circumstances don’t allow for adoption, like the couple’s special needs lamb, they’ll live out the rest of their lives at The Homestead.“There’s such a range. One of our goats came from an owner that was incarcerated and he was just left behind,” she said. And while she encourages people to do their research before buying a farm animal as a pet, she added it’s important to realize you can’t just throw a rabbit into the woods or ducks into a pond.
