Born on a Michigan farm in the harsh winter of 2018, Jim and his sister Jill are a rare breed called, Soay Sheep. Barn Sanctuary received a call to rescue them when they were five months old. We were told they were both born with deformities.
When we brought this duo home to the sanctuary, our vet visited them to perform a full check-up. It was immediately apparent to the vet that their deformities weren’t deformities at all, but injuries that resulted from extensive frostbite.
Jim and Jill were both shy and reserved at first. After a few months at the sanctuary, we were able to get them fitted for prosthetics so they can walk, run, and play like normal sheep. They also finally began to open up, becoming more friendly and comfortable around people.
Never again will Jim and Jill be left out to the elements. At Barn Sanctuary they will be warm, well-cared for, and loved.
