Get ready to see barn animals rescued by one man and his family. Saved by the Barn is coming soon to animal planet. The series will arrive on the network next month.
Animal Planet revealed the following about the new series in a press release. Check that out below.
“While some people dream of leaving their desk jobs for one of passion, most don’t go the distance, but for Dan McKernan, it was the chance to trade in a good living for a great life. In Animal Planet’s newest series, SAVED BY THE BARN, premiering Saturday, Apr. 11 at 10PM ET/ PT, we’ll meet Dan McKernan who picked up from his six-figure tech job in Austin, TX and left it all behind to take over his family’s 140-year-old farm in Michigan and transform it into the ‘Barn Sanctuary;’ a sanctuary for rescued farm animals that have experienced abuse, neglect, and much more. In this exciting new series, audiences join Dan and his family as they learn the ropes of their new life on the farm, give these barnyard animals a second chance at life, and experience the compassion Dan brings to every animal in his care.
In SAVED BY THE BARN, we’ll tag along as Dan travels across the country to rescue barn animals including a set of roosters from Chicago who were forced to fight each other, Charlie, a blind goat; two ducklings who undergo special water therapy; Lola, a goat who needs prosthetics for her back hooves, and many others farm animals that get the opportunity to be integrating into a new life at the Barn Sanctuary. Viewers will fall in love with Dan and his family, be inspired by the animals, relish in the rescues and rehabilitation, and delight at the warmth and humor it takes all in a day’s work!
In the premiere episode, audiences will watch Dan prepare the opening of the new pasture after an arduous winter in Michigan. We’ll meet dwarf goats, Twitch & Portia; goats Steve, Chevy, and Martin, also known as ‘The Three Amigos;’ in addition to pigs, cows, sheep, and more. We’ll also meet the farm’s latest rescue, a sheep named Ginger, who needs surgery on her front legs after a birth defect has left her unable to walk. Viewers will witness Ginger’s amazing transformation from shy sheep to becoming a part of the pack living the rest of her life on the new pasture along with the other incredible animal stories featured this season.”

This show is awesome! I would love to watch a second season. How refreshing to see barn animal rescues. Kudos to this family. I have it on my DVR and watch it whenever I need a wholesome pick me up show. Seeing the goat get prosthetics made me tear up
Where can you get your the t shirts ? Yout show is appreciated good job!
Love it! And yes I will watch!
While I truly appreciate what this show is trying to do, I am not sure where it is going. They are taking animals that are systematically slaughtered for food to feed most Americans and spending a great deal of money to let them live out their lives on the farm. Sun screen on pigs???? I love animals and I despise abuse, but this show does not represent real farm life. Exactly where does all this money come from??
Marsha, I see your point about “real farm life.” And, perhaps I missed something, but I don’t recall any of the animals on this series being taken out of the food chain. Instead they appear to be animals with issues that the current owner is not able to sustain.
I think that is one of the reasons I love this show so much. It is refreshing to see such empathy. The stories are a heart-warming opportunity to see an animal live out its life in a loving environment that might otherwise end its life unnecessarily.
I absolutely love this show. It is so heart warming and funny. This family is heaven sent. Bless them all and keep the episodes coming 🙂
AWESOME. Cant wait for the next episode
Loved loved the show!
Saved by the Barn is great!! I loved the animals and the people on the farm. Will look forward to watching it in the future.
Can’t wait! The animal shows are the best!
