About Luna Farms Rescue
Built on Compassion. Driven by Community. Focused on Change.
Luna Farms Rescue is a volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless animals find safety, healing, and home.
Based in North Alabama, our work is rooted in the belief that every animal deserves a chance and that lasting change happens when communities come together to solve the challenges behind animal homelessness.
We partner with shelters, veterinarians, foster families, and adoption organizations across the country to give animals the opportunity they deserve — a safe place to land and a family to call their own.
But rescue alone is not enough.
That’s why Luna Farms Rescue focuses not only on saving animals in need today,
but also on building long-term solutions that reduce shelter overcrowding and
improve access to care for pets and the people who love them.
Through rescue, transport, foster placement, adoption support, and spay/neuter
initiatives, we work every day to create better outcomes for animals and the
communities they live in.
Because when compassion meets action, lives change.
The Bigger Picture
Animal rescue is often seen as saving one animal at a time. And that work matters deeply.
But the reality facing many communities across the Southeast is that shelters are overwhelmed, veterinary access is limited, and the number of animals in need continues to grow.
At Luna Farms Rescue, we believe lasting change requires more than rescue alone. It requires partnerships, prevention, and practical solutions that address the root causes of animal homelessness.
That’s why our work focuses on building connections between shelters, veterinary partners, foster families, and adoption networks — while also expanding access to spay and neuter services and community support.
By combining rescue with long-term solutions, we are working to create a future where fewer animals enter shelters in the first place and more animals find the homes they deserve.
Our Impact
Because of the dedication of volunteers, foster families, and supporters, Luna Farms Rescue has been able to make a meaningful difference for animals across the region.
861 animals saved in 2025 alone.
Our work includes:
• Hundreds of dogs rescued from overcrowded shelters each year
• Animals transported to adoption partners across multiple states
• Community pets supported through vaccine and wellness clinics
• Senior dogs given second chances through our Encore Pups program
• Ongoing partnerships with shelters throughout North Alabama
Behind every number is an animal whose life changed — and a family whose life
changed with them.
Our Story
Luna Farms Rescue was founded by Stephanie Jordan, whose lifelong love for animals was shaped by the example of her mother, who spent her life rescuing animals and giving them safe places to land.
That legacy of compassion became the foundation for Luna Farms Rescue.
What began as a personal commitment to helping animals quickly grew into a larger mission: building partnerships and systems that could save more lives while supporting the shelters and communities working on the front lines of animal welfare.
Today, Luna Farms Rescue works across multiple states to move animals from overcrowded shelters to safe foster homes and loving adopters. At the same time, the organization is working to expand access to veterinary care and spay/neuter services to address the root causes of animal homelessness.
The goal has always been simple — help the animals in front of us while building a better future for the ones who come next.
The Story Behind Our Name
Luna Farms Rescue is named after Luna, a dog whose spirit helped inspire the mission behind the organization.
Luna represents the heart of rescue — resilience, loyalty, and the quiet understanding that animals bring to our lives. Like so many animals who find their way into rescue, Luna’s story reminds us that sometimes the ones who need saving end up saving us, too.
Her name reflects the belief that every animal deserves to be seen, protected, and loved.
Luna Farms Rescue carries that belief forward with every life we touch.
Where We Work
Luna Farms Rescue is based in North Alabama, where we partner closely with shelters and communities facing some of the highest rates of animal overpopulation.
From this region, we coordinate rescue, foster placement, and transport partnerships that help animals find homes across multiple states.
Our work includes partnerships with:
• Municipal shelters in North Alabama
• Veterinary clinics supporting rescue care
• Foster families across the Southeast
• Adoption partners in the Northeast and Midwest
By connecting communities where animals are most at risk with regions where adoptive homes are more available, we are able to give more animals the chance they deserve.
Our Leadership
Luna Farms Rescue is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who guide the organization’s mission and support its long-term impact.
Like our foster families and volunteers, our board members generously give their time, expertise, and leadership to help animals in need.
