When most people think about adoption they only think about cats, or dogs. Maybe they think about exotic animals such as rabbits, but few think about adopting farm animals and livestock.
There are some pet rescues that also offer, or even focus only on, rescuing livestock and farm animals. There are loads of sites for finding farm animals for sale, but few that focus on farm animals, such as sheep, for adoption. One that does have a listing of sheep for adoption is petfinder.com.
My petfinder search showed nearly 30 sheep for adoption, most were rams, or wethers, but there were also lambs, and ewes. All of the adoptable sheep I found where in the USA, but petfinder.com also offers space for animal shelters, and livestock rescue groups, from Canada and Mexico to list their adoptable animals.
I strongly encourage anyone looking for a “Pet” sheep to check out petfinder.com's listing of adoptable sheep.
Below I want to show examples of two of the adoptable sheep from Petfinder. I hope they get homes soon.
Visit Authur's Petfinder page here.
If you are unfamiliar with sheep like Authur, he is a Jacob sheep - noted for their colors and fancy horn growth.
