We are excited to introduce these beautiful Katahdin Sheep to Sanctuary One!!
When Colleen, our Animal Care Director, received a call from a fellow rescue that eight young and healthy sheep were headed to slaughter she committed to taking them in on the spot! The sheep found themselves in trouble when they would not stay inside their electric fencing and the owners wanted them off the property asap. Wildwood Farm Sanctuary and Preserve provided transportation for the sheep when enough of their committed donors contributed to the cost.
These sheep arrived scared but have had time to decompress and trust humans, they are now friendly and seek human interaction. There are 5 wethers and 3 ewes. We would like them to be adopted together as they are a bonded flock. They could be adopted in pairs.
Katahdin Sheep are hair sheep and shed without being sheared, so they are low-maintenance pets. They vary somewhat in the type and amount of fiber in their coats, though it’s preferred that sheep be completely free of woolly fibers after shedding. The coat can be any color or pattern.
These sheep will be adopted as pets ONLY and a home check and reputable references are a must.
Put in your application today if you can give these amazing sheep a safe and loving forever home!

Additional adoption info
Most, but not all, of the Sanctuary's animals are available for adoption because the more animals we adopt out, the more endangered animals we can take in.
Every animal adopted from Sanctuary One comes with a lifetime promise. If something happens and you can no longer care for the animal you adopt, he or she is always welcome back at the Sanctuary.
Each animal available for adoption has been evaluated by a veterinarian and is current on vaccinations. They’ve also undergone a basic behavioral assessment and have had their diets evaluated and specialized as needed.
In addition, our staff provides free telephone/email counseling for all adopters. If you have any questions or concerns about your adopted animal, contact us and we'll do our very best to help you.

More about this rescue
Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm is a nonprofit care farm where people, animals, and the earth work together for mutual healing.
Care farming (also known as green care, farm care, or farming for health), is well established in Europe, but is a relatively new concept in the United States.
Sanctuary One demonstrates how farming for health can be a cheap, natural, and effective means of healing people; how animals can be treated humanely and honored for their intrinsic physical and spiritual value; and how the environment that sustains us all can be steadily improved through organic and permaculture-inspired farming practices.
