Michaela

In the spring of 2019, Angela the sheep, along with her two babies Ethan and Michaela, were rescued from a severe hoarding case. When this little family arrived, all of them were weak and malnourished — especially Angela. She was so underweight that our shelter team bottle fed the babies because her body could no longer produce enough milk for them. Angela was given a special nutrient-rich diet and began to gain some healthy weight.

Angela enjoyed as much food as her heart desired while she adjusted to her new home, knowing both her babies were safe. She eventually was able to make more milk for Ethan and Michaela, and everyone grew stronger together.

In the years since this little family was liberated, they have been doing great and all three are so much healthier. Michaela still spends a great deal of time with her bold twin, Ethan, making sure he doesn’t get into too much trouble. She’s a dainty but fierce little sheep!
