While many celebrities support animal welfare causes, Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi has taken her commitment to another level by establishing a full-time rescue sanctuary on her Georgia farm. Operating under the name Joey’s Friends, the farm provides a permanent home for dogs saved from local kill shelters, as well as goats, pigs, and other animals in need. For Millie, this work is far more than a philanthropic side project; it’s a daily responsibility that she embraces with passion and expertise.
Her dedication is both practical and professional. With a degree in human services and studies in veterinary science, she is personally involved in every aspect of the animals’ care—from medical treatment to feeding and cleanup. She has been candid about the reality of rescue work, stating that lasting change doesn’t come from social media campaigns alone, but from the unglamorous, hands-on effort required to rehabilitate and love vulnerable animals.
This mission is shared with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, with whom she is also building a family. The farm is the heart of their life together, a place where they can focus on what truly matters: compassion, service, and each other. Millie’s journey from Hollywood star to hands-on rescuer is an inspiring example of using one’s platform and resources to create a tangible, life-saving difference for animals.
