Gabriel is one of seven lambs rescued by the sanctuary just before Easter 2024.

Little orphans Harvey and Oberon arrived at the sanctuary at the end of May 2024. Those first few days the boys were very weak, but they are very relaxed in their new surroundings. The first night, Lyss and I went through the dark hours together, cleaning them up and feeding. They managed three feeds since being home of 50mls each, so that’s not to be sniffed at, as we were told the weaker of the two didn’t really drink at all. Like all weak lambs we’ve had, they preferred to be held and supported to drink. Fast forward a few weeks, the boys Harvey and Oberon have started to have…

Gretel was one of seven lambs we rescued just before Easter 2024. A few months later, Gretel is thriving. Gretel has had an incredible journey, she was the most at risk of dying out of all the lambs. Despite some of the others having far more serious complications and illnesses, Gretel had just given up on life without her mum. Thankfully, we were able to get her mum Abigail to the Sanctuary, along with Freya’s mum Agatha, and within 48hours Gretel had started to thrive and was looking outwards towards life, rather than needing to be syringe fed. All the time we are led to believe that the bonds are…

Meredith is one of seven tiny lambs who joined the sanctuary just before easter 2024. She is the most loving and trusting of all. An utter fluffball of heart and hooves. She follows anyone around for some extra love and soaks it up like a seedling takes water. Her character is gentle and devoted to her friend Freya, but she can get demonstrative with me if she feels I’m loving the others too much. She is the first one to say hello to me in the darkest of mornings and the last one asking for hugs at night. Occasionally she will come knocking on the back door to visit and…

Brother and sister, Clover and Sorrel came from a mummy that was unable to support twins. So, she was ‘dealt with’ because she was unprofitable and the farmer did not want to waste money on milk to feed her lambs. So, they were relinquished to the sanctuary. They were in very good condition when they arrived, they were the right weight, they followed around waiting for their bottle. They are very bonded. Sorrel is very protective over most of the sheep. He is an absolute rascal. His favourite hiding place is behind the shed door; he likes to wedge himself behind it. When they first arrived the lambs were in…
