Animals with special needs get a second chance when they arrive at Laurie Zaleski's Funny Farm in Mays Landing, New Jersey.
MAYS LANDING, N.J. --
Zaleski, owner and founder of Funny Farm in Mays Landing, says the 15-acre oasis is the fulfillment of a special promise. Decades ago, her mother, Annie McNulty, fled an abusive relationship with three children by her side. Eventually, McNulty filled the house with rescued animals that Zaleski treated like family.
Zaleski likes to think her rescue farm has a heaven division, given how many animals have graced her life over the last 22 years. For example, Zaleski rescued two dogs who were diagnosed with megaesophagus, making them unable to digest food properly. She was told they had six months to live. But by using a special high-chair and eating liquid meals, each dog is able to enjoy a longer lifespan.
