Some of our animals have gone through so much trauma before coming to The Gentle Barn that there is always an underlying quietness about them, always fearing the worst. Some rescued animals are angry and act out. And some go through a transformation here when they finally let go of the past and are healed. But then some are just larger than…
Not all animals come to The Gentle Barn old and broken, some come to us as youngsters and grow up at The Gentle Barn enjoying many years of love, fun, and happiness.

MyCHELLE Dermaceuticals and Crystal Deodorant are proud to sponsor The Gentle Barn. We admire the work they do to rescue and lovingly care for animals who have been subjected to animal testing. United by a cruelty-free mission, we want to help spread awareness for the work they do. It is impossible to look into the eyes of the animals they have rescued and not ask yourself… what more could I do. Join us in support of this wonderful, “second-chances” organization and look for cruelty-free on the products you buy.
