Founded by Manchester residents Dorothy Davies and Monte Jackson, SASHA Farm started rescuing animals in the 80’s, and became a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2001. SASHA provides lifetime care to farmed animals formerly destined for slaughter or who were abused, neglected, abandoned, or no longer able to be cared for. 

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
