Mr Rodney (Rodders)

Rodney’s disability does not hold him back

A plucky three-legged lamb who had to have one of his hind legs amputated after being attacked in a local field by a dog or a fox. He was brought to Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary in 2016 by a local vet – The Ark Veterinary Practice, and despite his handicap, Rodders is a happy and lively lamb. He has settled down well at Woolly Park Farm, where he quickly made friends with fellow new arrivals Barney and Splash. Rodney does not let his disability hold him back and gets around very easily on his three legs.



Rodney’s story told by The Ark Veterinary Practice where he was taken on the 23rd February 2016 by two members of the public, who found him injured on their walk.

When he came to us we had the task of clipping away his wool to find the wounds, some were so deep and sore they were even down to the bone. His worst wound was to his hind right leg and bites to his stomach and his back. We cleaned his injuries up as best we could, some so deep they needed staples and he was given antibiotics and painkillers. Rodney became the practice lamb. For the next few days following his arrival he seemed to be on the mend, more confident with walking and bleating for food. We bottle fed him, kept him on medicines for his wounds, cleaning them daily and taking him for walks in the garden for exercise and grass. However, as the days went on Rodney started to go downhill and wasn’t his happy self.

His hind leg became worse and he couldn’t bear weight on it. An infection had started in the bone and was so painful, Rodney couldn’t use his leg so we had a decision to make. We had fallen in love with Rodney and wanted to give him every opportunity. Two weeks after he arrived, Rodney had surgery to remove his leg. The surgery was a success and after three days and some help from the team Rodney was back up on his feet. A little wobbly but he was up! He stayed with us until he was stronger, then nurse Vikki took him to be with other lambs at her farm. He was able to learn to walk on three legs and be with his own kind.
Eventually Rodney was strong enough and ready to find his forever home. He is now happy and forever with over 400 other rescued animals at Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary.

Spud

Spud is the sanctuary’s lovable live wire

Spud was born on a farm where a little girl lived, she would feed him and play with him regularly. She became very attatched, and when the little girl found out what was going to happen to Spud, she became extremely upset. It was their bond that saved him, because her family brought Spud to live with Carole at the sanctuary.

It wasn’t long before Spud had made friends with everyone here. He does have a special relationship with Alice. If he hear’s her call his name, he will race across the field to reach her.

Spud spends most of his days running around the field with the other sheep, and loves a biscuit!

Joey

The friendliest character at Woolly Park

Joey was kindly brought to Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary in 2016 by Rachel, one of our long term volunteers, after being saved by a helper on a farm in Yorkshire. A group of kind people chipped together to purchase him and saved him from slaughter.

This handsome young boy is one of the friendliest characters at  Woolly Park and for the first six months never left Carole’s side, following her around just like any pet dog would. He still loves human contact, enjoys a biscuit and will come running at the call of his name. He certainly makes any visitors feel welcome at Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary and is now another firm favourite on the adoption list.

Carole kept kept Peggy close to her for a number of months, bottle-feeding her regularly, while also helping the tiny lamb to strengthen her legs.

Florence

Florence certainly melts hearts

Florence was just a couple of weeks old when she arrived at Woolly Park Farm. She was an extremely poorly lamb and it was touch and go for quite some time.  Carole took Florence under her wing, as she so often does, keeping her snug and warm indoors. With plenty of tender loving care and regular bottle feeds, Florence grew stronger and stronger.

Now, she is a beautiful young girl, who is a firm favourite at the sanctuary. She has certainly made many sheepy friends at Woolly park Farm. Florence enjoys nothing more than a day foraging around the paddock, returning to her lovely straw bed in the evening. She certainly melts hearts with her stunning looks!

Rose Kasili Photography

Rose is smothered with love and cuddles from the babies. 

A HUGE thank you to Rose Kasili (Rose Kasili Photography) and Buster Fisher (Artist), who paid Woolly Park a visit today, after both offering to help Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary with their fabulous creative talents. The weather was not particularly great with torrential downpours for most of the day, however, it did mean they could get close up and personal with many of our lovely residents, including our busy nursery!

As you can see both Rose and Buster couldn’t resist love and cuddles from the babies and giving us a helping hand too. A huge thank you to them both for supporting the sanctuary in this way, we are extremely grateful. To see the fabulous photographs taken  on the day please visit The Rose Kasili Collection website page.
