Buddy
Buddy was surrendered with Finnegan, Remi, and Smurfy, when their caretaker passed away from cancer, and her children were unable to find them a safe home. Buddy is best friends with Smurfy and he's an incredibly social guy. If he thinks you have a treat he will happily climb up your chest in an attempt to steal the snack, but in a rather gentle manner. Sponsor Buddy |

Chico Chico was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. He is very laid back and is an absolute sweetheart. He also has beautiful horns that resemble Princess Leia's buns! Sponsor Chico |

Finnegan
Finnegan was surrendered with Buddy, Remi, and Smurfy, when their caretaker passed away from cancer, and her children were unable to find them a safe home. Finnegan is a very easy going and a super gentle guy. He is quite fond of being brushed and he will always come say hi when you're around. Sponsor Finnegan |

Miguel Miguel was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. He's a rather pushy boy who likes to test your boundaries every chance he gets! When you're next to him he will frequently put his head against you and try to push you around with his magnificent horns. Sponsor Miguel |

Patty Patty was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and she is currently in foster care. Patty is vigilant and very tiny; we call her "tiny, but mighty". She will intently stand at a distance or peek around a corner to assess your behaviour toward another herd member. She is diminutive, and as the sole horned member of her herd, the toughest. Both of the sheep in her herd, Chester and Elliot, are three times her size, but will let her have her way, or just run from her. When all is copacetic, she will stand with her forehead on one of the sheep for a few moments, then turn and slowly walk away. If you pass her protracted behaviour assessment, she will show her approval and bestow upon you kisses that will melt your heart and make your day. Another nickname for her is Gassy Patty, as she regularly emits from both ends. Sponsor Patty |

Ragnar Ragnar was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. He is the juvenile of his herb and behaves accordingly. Ragnar is an animated animal in his locomotion and at times he moves like an old movie reel. He will nibble on your clothing, and if he can grab a zipper, he will zip it! When he wants a treat he lifts and tilts his head and glares down his nose at you. His physique is ripped and rock solid. Like his namesake, Ragnar is king of the herd, as log as Patty will let him be. Sponsor Ragnar |

Selma Selma was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and she is currently in foster care. As the two females in the herd, Patty and Selma are partners. Her colouring, form, and doe-eyed loveliness could be mistaken for that of a deer. She is a rather demure loner for the most part, and enjoys time in the sun apart from the herd, when the rest are lounging inside. A child's plastic wading pool, or even a water tub, that seems too small for her, are preferred spots to ruminate. Sponsor Selma |

Simon Simon was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. Simon is the senior of the herd and hangs with Ziggy. These two are the long-haired easygoing hippies of the group. A golden wave crashes over Simon's hind quarter, which gives him a groovy handsomeness, and he seems to know it. When you stroke or scratch his wave, his tail wags like a fast windshield wiper. When he arrived in our care we were told that Simon was a "lemon" or relatively fragile. He does have some joint issues and at times he lies alone, or with Ziggy, and is reluctant to get up unless there are treats involved. That being said, when the fun starts, and rearing up and head-butting is on the menu, he definitely demonstrates his ramming experience. Sponsor Simon |

Smurfy Smurfy was surrendered with Finnegan, Remi, and Buddy when their care taker passed away from cancer and her children were unable to find them a safe home. He is Buddy's BFF and these two are inseparable. Smurfy is the shiest of the four. It takes him a long time to warm up to new people, but once he accepts you he can be very affectionate. He will often approach you quietly and lean himself up against your legs letting you know he's ready for some scratches. Sponsor Smurfy |
|
Tyson Tyson was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. Tyson is on the smaller side with long luxurious black lashes around his eyes. He will come to you, present his rear end, and look back at you until you scratch his butt or hind legs. He will stand like this, and take all the scratches he can get, for as long as he can get them! Tyson prefers to be on top of anything he can jump o,n until Ragnar arrives and rams him off. Sponsor Tyson |

Ziggy Ziggy was transferred into our care in the fall of 2021 and he is currently in foster care. Ziggy is Simon's buddy. They take a moment to decide between them when they will take part in any activity. If Simon is hanging back, so is Ziggy. He has a lovely flowing piebald coat from head to hind. His long coat gives him the look of a supermodel when he struts around the shed or field. Normally quiet and reserved, he will only occasionally get into head-butting games. Otherwise, everything is cool. Sponsor Ziggy |
