Hi, I’m Maggie
In late winter of 2026, Barn Sanctuary was contacted by our friends at Farmaste Animal Sanctuary about several young lambs that were in need of a forever home. Barn agreed to foster and cover the medical expenses for two newborn lambs rescued from a farm that couldn't care for them. There was a third little girl, Rachel, who had already passed away before we arrived. Sadly, the little boy didn't make it either. We provided specialized medical care for him at UMN with round-the-clock monitoring for several days, but his injuries were too severe. Farmaste caregivers were there the whole time with them.
The third sheep was a little girl who was born with a condition known as parrot mouth. After arriving at the hospital, it was discovered that she also had elevated sodium, an enlarged heart, and aspiration pneumonia. After receiving treatment for her pneumonia, she was discharged and transported here to Barn.
Medically, things are looking up. We will continue working with our vets to give her the best medical attention as she grows. Because of her parrot mouth, she’ll need special dental care to make sure that she can continue to eat comfortably. The best update is that Maggie has already made herself right at home.
After she completed her quarantine period, she moved over to our goat and sheep barn and has been fitting right in with our special needs crew. She is having so much fun with her new friends. If you'd like to help cover costs like her ongoing medical expenses or daily care, please consider making a donation.
