Meet the Sheep: Velma
Her distinctive freckles make her easy to pick out in a crowd! Velma is likely City Goat Farm's oldest resident, at approximately 10-15 years of age. She and her son, Scooby, came to City Goat Farm after years of neglect and searching for a new home.
Velma is sweet and friendly, gets along well with other sheep and people, and is always looking for new snack opportunities.
A member of the "Brown Road Herd" rescue that began in 2020, Velma and almost 40 other sheep and goats were left for years without regular access to food, water, shelter, or veterinary care.
We thought the sheep had found a permanent home in 2022, but the adopter ultimately did not have time to care for them and they needed emergency placement. City Goat Farm helped them find a temporary home while the sheep found homes, ultimately welcoming the last of the herd to our sanctuary in 2024.
Now, they have access to all the hay they can eat, healthy food, regular shearing and veterinary care, and safe living space. 🐑
We look forward to introducing the rest of our residents to you in the coming weeks!
