Minnie Pearl
Intake Date: 2/25/26
Age: 8 months
Breed: Katahdin Sheep
She really is mini!
Minnie Pearl was very loved at the farm where she was born, but her vision loss was progressing, and they knew she needed more help than they could provide. Minnie was diagnosed with premature cataracts in both eyes with very limited eyesight.
Two other lambs, Reece and Toffee, arrived as bottle babies around the same time and the three became instant best friends. Minnie sticks close to the boys, and they seem to know she needs assistance, so they have become her seeing-eye lambs.
With early medical intervention we have been able to stop the cataracts from progressing, so she retains some vision. She might be small for her age, but Minnie is fearless and faces life with joy and a playful nature.
Favorite Things: Grazing in the front yard, following Bryan around, and running with her lamb friends
Marshmallow
Intake Date: 3/27/24
Age: 2 years
Breed: Katahdin Sheep
Does she want a treat? Of course she wants a treat!!
Marshmallow ended up at the University of Tennessee Large Animal Veterinary Hospital needing an emergency c-section and having urine and rectal prolapses.
Sadly the vets were unable to save the babies and Marshmallow had to spend a month at the vet hospital recovering from all her procedures. Her previous owner was leaving a domestic violence situation and couldn't provide the continued care Marshmallow needed, so she reached out to Fabled Farm.
Marshmallow has stolen the hearts of vets, students, volunteers, visitors, and the senior sheep! Due to her ongoing medical needs she will remain in the Sanctuary Program.
Favorite Things: Marshmallows and animal crackers…she is big on treats
Pez
Intake Date: 2/6/23
Age: 3 years
Breed: Katahdin Sheep
What is sweeter than a bottle baby? Former bottle baby Pez!
Pez arrived as a two day old baby who was having mobility issues and his mom wouldn't feed him. We were able to start physical therapy with him right away and within a few days he was able to walk. We knew he needed friends and heard a trio of lambs whose mom had passed giving birth.
Pez had instant friends! Having the other babies around encouraged Pez to try harder. Before long he was walking, running, jumping and amazingly playing like a normal lamb!!
Pez joined the Education Program and has loved showing visitors how fun it is to be friends with a friendly sheep!
Favorite Things: Meeting new people, snack time, and getting all of the pets
The Fridge & The Bus
Intake Date: 8/20/23
Age: 15 years
Breed: Wool Mix Sheep
Living up to their namesakes!
A group of four sheep needed emergency placement after their owner passed. They were afraid of new people and in a field. Bryan was tackled a few times as we loaded them...so we named them after football players!
The sheep learned to love us quickly thanks to how much they enjoyed snacks. Unfortunately they were much older than we were originally told and came with multiple medical issues.
Joe Cool and Sweetness passed recently at the age of 14. Their loss is felt by the two left, Jerome Bettis - The Bus and William Perry - The Refrigerator.
They will now be spoiled in their senior years!
Favorite Things: Dinner time and bahhing really loudly
Razzle & Spree
Intake Date: 3/22/24 & 3/23/24
Age: 2 years
Breed: Katahdin Sheep
Two unexpected arrivals!
Arriving to the rescue just a day apart, Razzle and Spree bonded instantly. Razzle had mobility issues, was anemic, underweight, and needed hernia surgery and Spree was orphaned and struggling to take a bottle. They helped each other heal, get stronger, and thrive.
After months of surgery and physical therapy, Razzle recovered, and they joined the sheep herd. Now they run, play, and spend their days grazing and being a little spoiled!
Razzle and Spree have remained as part of the Sanctuary Program due to Razzle’s increased chance of arthritis as she ages.
Favorite Things: Causing trouble, eating animal crackers, and laying in the sunshine
