It was so lovely to see Angel pop up in my newsfeed tonight, she is our adopted sheep from Willows.
Thank you to all my customers who made this possible for me to support Willows and Angel 🐑🥰😇
Good morning from Angel!
Do you know her story? You can read it below ⬇️
My name is Angel and this is my story. I was orphaned as a lamb and my owners bottle fed me. Things weren't too bad, it was summer and I had lots of friends. When winter came, my owners placed me and my friend out in a field and pretty much forgot about us. We had little water or food and the grass wasn't up to much. One day when I was looking for food, I punctured my eye on an old piece of wire that had been left lying around. The pain was so bad and I felt so ill. I waited for help but weeks passed and none came.
My eye was now very badly infected and the infection had started to track down my face. Christmas came and went and I was feeling so terribly ill and with battling the cold winter I had started to give up on life. My friend disappeared, I didn't know where she went and I was all alone. Then suddenly, this lady leapt over the fence and scooped me up! I was so weak I didn't put up much of a fight. She carried me into her shed and put me on a warm bed of shavings and put a heat lamp on me. She told me that she had seen how unwell I looked and that she couldn't leave me where I was. She'd asked my owners if she could take me and they'd said yes! She called out a vet that night who said my eye had gone past the point of being saved and I would have to have it removed.
I was dehydrated and I had chronic pneumonia. The vet gave me lots of injections and left lots medicine for me to have. The next day, the lady who rescued me took me to Willows Animal Sanctuary and I was given a lovely stable bedded with golden straw and there were friends in the stall next to me. A few weeks later, when I was stronger, I had the operation to remove my eye. I felt a lot better after it was removed as it was causing me great pain. I am all recovered now! I just love the people who look after me, I get lots of fuss and scratches on a daily basis and my tummy is always full! I know now that I am loved and safe forever and I will never be forgotten or neglected again! 🐑
