Plot Synopsis

SAVED BY THE BARN is a one-hour reality series that follows Dan McKernan, as he travels across the United States 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.

Dan 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 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 the series opener, "Spring Fever," Dan prepares the opening of the new pasture after an arduous winter in Michigan. Then, audiences 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 also 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.
