Four years ago today, Toby arrived at the sanctuary, just hours after being born. As a triplet, he was deemed unwanted, as most farmers prefer only two healthy lambs per ewe. Toby was sadly going to be disposed of. But today, we celebrate the happiest of birthdays for this remarkable sheep, knowing he is safe and loved.

Toby has one of the biggest personalities at the sanctuary. He’s incredibly smart, expressive and vocal. Anyone who’s met him knows exactly what we mean. He’s such a character, always keeping everyone on their toes. You have to stay alert because Toby is a master escape artist. The moment a door or gate opens, there he is, appearing out of nowhere! It’s his favourite game, he’ll barge in, not even wanting anything, and then simply leave again. It’s just Toby being Toby.

Not only is he a hilarious troublemaker, but Toby is also the fearless leader of our flock of 26 sheep. His confidence and curiosity is unmatched, and the other sheep follow his lead, even when they probably shouldn’t!

Toby, you are so deeply loved, and you are absolutely worthy of life. We are so lucky to have you here with us, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness, freedom, and endless adventures. You bring so much joy to everyone around you. Happy birthday, Toby! 💚🐑🎉

Poor Mo has been through a lot lately! She developed a painful hoof infection, so we had the vet out to drain it while she was sedated to give her some relief.

Large animals like cows require a lot of work and special equipment to keep everyone safe, meaning we can’t just lift her hoof like we would with some of our other residents! So sedation was the best option for her comfort and care.

Afterward, our professional hoof trimmer gave her a much needed trim and checkup. He found that the skin between her digits had grown unusually, which led to dirt getting trapped underneath and the subsequent infection. To help her heal, she had a block put on one digit to relieve pressure from the swollen side, plus a fresh bandage.

With antibiotics, pain relief, and lots of rest in her own room, Mo is already feeling so much better! We’re keeping a close eye on her, and her hoof trimmer will be back soon to check on her progress.

Send Mo some well wishes. Any donations towards her vet bills would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽❤️🐮

Hope everyone’s had a great weekend! It’s been a busy week here at the sanctuary with some medical emergencies (everyone is okay! We’ll update you soon), building work, and lots of care to make sure everyone’s safe and well as we prepare for spring. We’re all looking forward to the brighter days ahead!

Here’s lovely Wendy stopped in her tracks to feel the sun 😊

A sad update - Hazel the goat was put to sleep today and is no longer with us ❤️‍🩹

For some time now, we’ve been closely monitoring Hazel’s mobility as she struggled with her legs, and she had regular pain relief for this. We also made sure she received extra meals to help maintain her weight. Unfortunately, in the past few weeks, she has been steadily declining, losing interest in her food and struggling to get up at times. At 18 years old, Hazel had an incredible life, but we knew her condition wouldn’t improve, so we made the difficult decision to let her go.

Many of you met Hazel during tours or events, when she would greet visitors... and follow to see if you had snacks! She had a feisty side and was not afraid to tell the sheep if she wasn’t happy with them, especially when they were in her bedroom (yes, she has her own room here!).

Hazel was so loved by our volunteers who gave her dedicated care. Hours were spent collecting and hanging fresh browse for her to enjoy, making sure her bedroom was clean and welcoming, giving out all her favourite snacks and grooming her. Swipe through for some fond memories of her time with us 🤍

Her last few years were filled with love and surrounded by people who adored and spoiled her. We will all miss her 🤎

Victoria and Violet are inseparable! 🪿💜

If they ever lose sight of each other, they call out anxiously until they’re reunited, never straying too far apart. Victoria is definitely the boss, always leading the way while Violet happily follows her lead!

Young Delilah has truly blossomed in confidence over the past few weeks 🤍

Since arriving at the sanctuary last October, she’s been a little shy, always seeking comfort behind her best friend, Ralph. But it’s wonderful to see her finally settling in and feeling at home. Knowing she’s comfortable enough to come into her own is truly heartwarming 🫶🫶
