Woolf (RIP)

It appears Woolf hasn’t had a very good start to life and recently was removed from his home by the RSPCA. He now calls Big Ears his home. As can be seen, he was half shorn when he arrived and the tips of both of his ears had been bitten off by something, perhaps a dog.

Mrs Waggs RIP

Mrs Waggs came to live at the Sanctuary after her safety and that of other animals at her household came into question as a result of a family violence situation.

Mrs Waggs arrived pregnant and gave birth to LuLu.

Mrs Waggs lived happily with LuLu and the rest of the sheep flock.

Tasha RIP

Tasha was also found without a mother and struggling on her own. This time the farmer that found her tried to find a place for her to go where she could be hand reared. Lucky for us and for Tasha she ended up at Big Ears.

Tasha passed away in 2015.

Mr and Mrs Waggs (RIP)

These 2 beautiful sheep came to live at Big Ears a few years ago. We were contacted after a family violence situation where the man involved actually threatened to kill the animals. With the help of the RSPCA who did the transporting, Big Ears took in these beautiful creatures who now safely call Big Ears their forever home. When they arrived Mr Waggs had not yet been de-sexed and he had been living with Mrs Waggs. Sure enough a few months later Mrs Waggs had a lamb we named Lulu. Mrs Waggs was unable to feed Lulu as she was not producing milk. Therefore Jacqui (under the guidance of the vet) had to stomach tube feed Lulu which saved her life. Lulu now lives with her mum and dad (Mr Waggs has now been de-sexed).

Sadly Mrs Waggs has passed away in March 2015. Thank you to those who sponsored her.

Daanee (RIP)

Daanee is approximately 8 months old and the daughter of Delilah. Her story is the same as her mum’s, she ran out of food on the suburban block she was living on. Her situation is a good reminder to people that sometimes it is just better to borrow the neighbours mower or get a mowing company in to take care of your lawn rather than getting animals to do this as their needs extend long past the initial eating of grass and include the need for shelter, water, drenching and having their feet trimmed etc. They are also a commitment just like a dog or cat with some sheep living up to 20 years or more.

Daanee can be sponsored for $100 total for 12 months.

Daanee passed away in 2015.

Delilah (RIP)

Delilah came to live at the Sanctuary after she and her daughter ran out of food. They had been purchased to be ‘lawn mowers’ for a suburban block. The grass quickly ran out and they both became very hungry. their owner contacted wanting a nice home for them where they would not be killed for their meat. They now live at Big Ears which will be their forever home.

Delilah can be sponsored for $100 for 12 months.

Delilah passed away in 2015.
