    Easy to find, cute little stand, I followed other reviews and went to the farmers market and got cheap goods (both for the animals and snacks for back on the road) a little too hot for a lot of the animals to come to the fence but what are you gonna do, made for a cheap quick part of date day

    Finally decided to stop by and feed these cute animals! It was pretty busy when I stopped yesterday afternoon and many people were there also feeding them. I saw two turkeys, a rooster, ducks, goats, donkeys, a piggy, and a bull. *Free, just follow the posted rules

    I loved visiting Carl's Damaged Pets when I lived in Gilbert. This is a private residence that has a rescue farm in their backyard. Carl is amazing to share it with the community for free, but accepts donations (I highly encourage donating to help support costs of the food and caring for the animals). Each animal is so special here. I especially enjoyed the highland cows and the donkey. Swing on by if you're in the area and enjoy these providing some food to these rescue animals!

    I visited this place twice over the weekend, and it turned out to be exactly what my heart needed. I recently lost one of my closest friends, and I've been trying to find anything that helps me feel grounded again. Spending time here just feeding the donkeys, goats, and cows was genuinely therapeutic. We brought romaine lettuce, apples (their absolute favorite, no question), carrots, and celery. Watching them get excited over the apples honestly made me smile for the first time in a while. Even the simple sounds the little kicks on the gate, the snorts, the eager munching brought me down to earth. I took my partner with me, too, and seeing him laughing and feeding the animals made the whole experience even better. This place is calm, welcoming, and clearly run with real care. If you need a reset, some comfort, or just want to see animals lose their minds over apples, this place is a gem. Solid five stars. Thank you!

    Free fun animal rescue!! I came here with my sister and stopped by the store and bought carrots, zucchini and lettuce. The animals loved them and it was so much fun to feed them. I would recommend coming here if you're an animal lover.

    Very fun! Thank you, Carl, for allowing the public to enjoy seeing your cute animals - it was such a great experience. It's very much like a small petting zoo, where you can get up close with the animals and interact with them. Be sure to bring fruits and vegetables. There were a lot of animals, including cows, donkeys, pigs, a tortoise, goats, and more. If you search online, it shows what you can and cannot feed the animals, which is helpful. The animals really seemed to love the carrots! Parking was easy, and the whole visit felt relaxed and family-friendly.

    Come on over and enjoy a free feeding and petting zoo. BYOB fruits/veggies. I personally recommend at Superstition Ranch Market where the produce is cheaper then most places. You can pet the animals and feed them. Tortoises, bulls, goats, donkey, turkeys and chickens is what we saw. So awesome. Thank you Carl for allowing the public to help love on these guys.

    I took my 3 year old grandson here, and for a quick 20 minute drive and the attention span of a 3 year old, the price of admission was perfect. (free) We brought a bag of carrots, which wasn't really enough for the amount of animals here. For being "damaged" one thing that isn't is their appetite. Some others brought lettuce and peppers. The sign there says no grapes, raisins or garlic. (Why you would give garlic to a farm animal that already has stinky breath is beyond me) Anyway, if you're looking for a quick little free fun experience for your kids, this is probably the place. There's also a donation box if you're feeling generous. Next time we come back, we'll bring more food.

    My son loves coming here to feed the goats. He's not too sure about the big cow yet but we all enjoy it. They look so happy sun bathing in the mornings.

    So awesome!! Carl was so nice and gave us a bucket of food to give to the animals! This was an amazing experience and a beautiful property!

    This place is something free and fun to do with the kids! The animals are friendly and it's nice location where you don't have to worry about cars. It's a self-guided petting farm and you need to brung your own food for the animals. They do have a small donation box towards the shaded back patio. I recommend donating to keep this free activity going! My daughter loved the interaction with the animals! Would definitely return :)

    I was quite disturbed at the sight of this property this weekend when my family and I visited. I witnessed the public over feeding animals, throwing food in their living spaces, throwing food AT animals, piles of trash and food covering where the animals walk, sleep and roam. These animals are VERY over fed, not taken care of properly, not cleaned up after, and some of them also looked sick(especially the tortoise who tried to throw up a few times after someone tried to force feed him) I am disgusted at this place and I have no idea how more people have not posted true honest reviews. I left here in tears and I would highly recommend not supporting this property. *For the owner of this property; I would suggest you monitor the feeding of your animals when you have people visiting your property everyday. I would also suggest cleaning more.. some of the animals were eating fruit with ants and dirt on it, walking in their poop and eating certain fruits they shouldn't be eating. Possibly set up security cameras if you're unable to physically watch your property while you have people from the public being careless and not truly being responsible. Even some signs stating to not force food into animals mouths, throwing food at them, etc.. or have a person walk around your property with the animals while the public is there feeding them.. * There was children who did not care how they treated animals, forcing food into their mouths and throwing carrots at them, and the parents not monitoring their children. I felt sick to my stomach to see how these animals were being treated and it truly broke my heart. Please do better for these animals. Compassion and empathy for animals is simply bare minimum. Would you want to walk in your poop, walk all over piles of smashed fruit and veggies, eat food with ants on it? Think about that. Another suggestion, maybe charge people to visit your property, setup a go fund and hire someone to watch the property when you are unable to, do not allow the public on your property for 8 hours a day... shorten the hours.. I know you are trying to do a good thing for these animals, but it's not executed well enough for these animals. They deserve better.

    So super cute animals! An absolutely lovely afternoon. Would also recommend the superstition ranch market for pre veggies just in case!! I'm so happy these animals have this kind of life

She was rude to several guests, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Most of our party parked in the overflow parking lot, which is clearly marked with multiple signs. However, during the event, the employee walked over and padlocked both gates, preventing anyone from accessing their vehicles. We were told to reach out when we were ready to leave so she could unlock the gates. When the party ended, I texted her as instructed, but she refused to open the gates. She claimed no such arrangement had been made and told us we would have to walk all the way to the front entrance and then back to our vehicles, instead of simply unlocking the gates. This situation was frustrating and unnecessary, especially after being given different instructions earlier. While the location itself is nice, the lack of professionalism and poor communication significantly impacted our overall experience.

Highlights include: feeding the rescue animals, getting a pumpkin to take home included in admission, and browsing the unique gift shop. I also liked that we didn't have to buy tickets in advance, even on a weekend, and there's more shade when it's still toasty in October. The only thing they're missing is a corn maze. I highly recommend checking this place out, whether you have little ones or you're just looking for an autumnal date or photo op. Wear comfy shoes and budget yourself about 2 hours for this experience.
