42617

LEGO Friends set 42617, Farm Animal Sanctuary, depicts a rural shelter for farm animals in the Heartlake City setting. Released in 2024, it belongs to the Friends theme and uses 489 pieces to build a care focused countryside scene.

Farm Animal Sanctuary is part of LEGO Friends and presents a farm setting through the idea of an animal refuge. Rather than focusing only on farming, the model is framed around care, daily organization and character interaction, which fits the social and story driven direction of the theme.

The set contains 489 pieces and three mini-dolls: Kaya, Ben and Aliya. The listed Aliya variant wears a lime and bright green tartan shirt with sand blue pants. The French retail title also identifies five animals, a tractor, fruit and vegetables, giving the model clear material for feeding, moving supplies and looking after the sanctuary.

It is suited to narrative play, especially for builders who want animal care and outdoor routines in a Friends layout. In a collection, it sits well beside urban or school based Friends sets by adding a rural location with a practical, caregiving focus.
