About Us

Fallston Animal Rescue Movement, Inc. (FARM), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established by Greg and Barbara Bertling in 2000, is often the difference between life and death for many rescued pets. FARM’s mission is to rescue pets from local shelters who either “run out of time” or are “deemed unadoptable” due to medical issues, behavioral issues, or age.

Rescued pets receive required medical care (emergency, routine, and specialty), behavior modification, and training, as well as boarding, food, grooming, and shelter. Thousands of pets have been rescued and adopted since FARM’s inception.
