The Tennesee Cow Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit farm animal rescue in McMinnville, TN.

Est. April 2021

As a newly established rescue, we are in desperate need of funding from donations, sponsorships and grants to provide a safe and loving home to cows that were previously raised in traditional farming environments. Our sanctuary provides a forever pasture where cows can rehabilitate, rest, and live their lives to the fullest.

We currently have cows with severe vision loss due to illness, two born blind cows, one of which is also mentally impaired, a handicapped mini-cow, a 21-year-old breeding cow who had 20 babies in 18 years (twins twice), and a cow who was attacked by wild dogs as a calf, causing the loss of her ears and severely damaging her tongue.


The cows are happy to host classes and groups by appointment and visitors can register for a farm tour most Sundays on our visit page.

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
