Cracker Box Palace is a registered non-profit, no kill farm haven in Alton, NY. It is a unique place where farm animals of every kind come to recover from illness, neglect or abuse. Some of the residents come here due to struggling family circumstances, or because their owners can no longer give them the care they need. All animals are taught that they still have friends and families are assured that their beloved pets will not become someone’s dinner.
Once the animals are given necessary adjustment time and veterinary care, some will become available for new people to love through adoption or a foster care program. Some of our animals will never leave us due to their health, age or dispositions and will live their days out on the farm with love and attention from our small army of volunteers and staff.
We provide an educational place for kids (young and old) to learn about animals, farm life, conservation and responsibility of owning any animal. We also provide our volunteers with the opportunity to work with an animal of their choice… an animal that many people don’t have the resources to keep, like a horse, goat, chicken, rabbit or pig.
We also serve as the Large Animal Rescue for Wayne County and has an all-volunteer Large Animal Rescue Team.
