Update
Thanks to all
Fingers crossed we have found him the perfect home

Another urgent appeal
This lovely little goat ( castrated ) urgently needs a home as the owner does not want to send him to market but can no longer look after him
I cannot take as I specialise now in just sheep
He is 3-4 years old
Based in Danby North Yorkshire
Please help
Please share x

Update
Fingers crossed these may have a home lined up
Thank ewe to all
If it doesn’t happen I will repost
Sadly there was no interest in these sheep
I don’t want to see them end up in the wrong place
So I’m reposting
It’s 2 soay cross and 3 Hebridean
They are in Richmond Yorkshire
Urgent home needed
Failing that I will take
But they would need sponsors per sheep
And help with transport costs
Anyone wanting to support 1 sheep is a 2.50 per week contribution
Ideally need 5 guardians
Pm if you can help
Or share please
Time is running out

Urgent appeal
An elderly lady contacted me this week asking if I could give or find a home for 3 Hebridean sheep and the 2 white soay cross
They are around 4 years old
The soay cross are younger
No rams
In the Richmond area
She’s struggling to manage as she is In her 80s
She desperately wants to find them a good home where they will be safe for life
Not to a farm and not to be bred from
Whoever takes them will need to be able to collect
Please share it message me
Many thanks
Let start the new year with a good start and find the perfect home ###

Its official...Im not in a good place right now.
After 17 years of non stop social media ive decided to take a break till I feel better.
I am struggling on many levels with so much sadness and worry that I literally can't cope.
Hopefully in a few weeks I will feel a little bit more myself but for now I just need to be alone as I know that there's only me who can get myself out of this
Admin will try to answer messages but please only message if its urgent
You can reach me by email or telephone but again please only do so if its mega important

Hi, my name is Sharon the sheep lady. For those of you who don't know me, here is a brief history 16… Sharon Calf needs your support for So many worries

This one is not an easy one as I truly adore this wonderful little piggy “nibbles”
She is a mini pig which I don’t think existed
She was raised as a pet pig in someone’s home with dogs but sadly they couldn’t keep her. I took her in and fell in love with her but she’s more than “some pig”
She has spent her time in my barns with the sheep and has bonded with them but the sheep are out now for this supposed summer and nibbles is alone which she is ok with but she’s a real rooter, within minutes she can trash your garden.
My issue is - because if the way she was raised she literally is a pet pig, she’s to spoilt to live life as a pig and is super fussy with her meals, she’s not a regular pig she’s a princess

Ideally she needs to be a yard pig if you have a concreted area with access to waste land that she could plough for you. She loves human company and affection and would make the perfect loving companion
I looked at places where they had other small pigs but I know nibbles well and I know what she needs.
She needs to be close to humans, with special cooked meals and lots of tickles, she loves other animals and turning the garden into soil
Please message me if you could give nibbles the life she deserves as she is royalty

Downsizing continues - with a heavy heart
I seriously need to find a loving home for my 3 Billy goats,
They are no bother, sage the angora is so friendly. All are but sage is amazing. They would need keeping away from females as I would prefer them not to be used for breeding as there’s so many goats needing rescuing without adding to it. A sanctuary wanted to give them love and a perfect life

Shearing of our loved sheep now done, I have literally 100s of fleece to work with. I have wet felted rugs, knitting wool in different colours, carded wool, pegloomed cat beds, hats, mittens, head bands and so much more. I will also be adding washed wool, raw fleece, hand dyed cloud puppy wools and weaving projects. All has come from our sheep here at our plant based sanctuary. No cruelty infact quite the opposite as funds raised go towards their care and saving more lives
See our Etsy store " sheep sanctuary" and soon all will be available on our own website

Little "best" after a morning following me everywhere he's exhausted and ready for a siesta. Beautiful special little boy and my best friend

Calling all sheep lovers. Our huts just aren’t getting the bookings they should, you can message me direct to book or through air b n b. A night to bring lasting memories, we are based 15 min drive from whitby and lots of other places to see on the North Yorkshire moors. We are a plant based sanctuary and ask that no meat be brought on site. This hut sleeps two people and your neighbours are our special needs and lambs. Funds raised go to the running of the sanctuary. We do have other huts on site which you can view in our air b n b profile. Links in comments to all huts. The enchanted is dog friendly
The pod has its own little secret garden area, basic camping toilet and shower. There is a fridge kettle and toaster in the hut

Yesterday evening I received a call about a lamb that had been found wandering alone, he followed two young lads who didn’t know what to do with him as there were no sheep in site.

Thankfully a lovely couple rescued him from the wrong hands. I tried to find them a place to take him that was closer to them but it was late at night.
So we met early hours of the morning. So glad I did as it turns out he’s not very old and urgently needed a bottle.
From the state of him as he was covered in mud it looks like he is a late lamb and has fallen into a ditch. He’s not been castrated so looks like he was left behind.
Thankfully he’s safe now, he may not survive but I’m hopeful. Tommy tittlemouse is not to keen on the new kid on the block so for now he is living his in the house until he grows a bit. Late nights on the cards again but this is what we are about. All for the love of sheep
Thank you to the lovely people who saved him 😍

Meet bebo the little lamb that could not walk. It's taken me literally months of hard work as not only could she not walk but she was very poorly. She still has a long way to go but to see her take steps unaided is a miracle. I love this little sheep. She's taken over my life as I cannot leave her long periods of time but that's ok. She is worth it
