Sonny
In the summer of 2019, a brave mother sheep ran for her life with her baby lamb by her side. That brave mother was Toni -- she saw a chance to escape the fate of slaughter and risked it all to live. Toni and Sonny were found wandering the streets of a neighborhood in New Jersey until the local animal control stepped in to bring them to a safe place. They reached out to us and a few days later, this brave little family arrived to Woodstock Sanctuary. Sonny’s full name is Morrison and was named after the late Toni Morrison who sadly passed away the same day we rescued him.

These days Toni is smaller than her son, but they get to spend every day in sanctuary together. Toni will never know fear, abandonment, or harm again. And she gets to see her son grow up by her side.
