In the heart of Western Pennsylvania, there is a place where the misunderstood,
the broken and the overlooked find more than just a home—they find a family.
J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary
is proud to announce its selection as the official charity for Anthrocon 2026.
Founded in 2021 by Jessica Poutous and Jesse Blake, J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary isn’t your average farm.
It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit “forever home” for over 175 animals who have survived atrocities such as neglect,
abandonment and the brink of slaughter.
From giant, 2,000-pound Belgian draft horses to tiny, bantam chickens,
every resident is treated as an individual with a name, a story, and a personality all their own.
