My Story
Meet Toodles, a remarkable sheep who was transferred to SAINTS in 2020 after being the lone sheep at the Good Shepherd Barn (BCSPCA) in Surrey. Initially, Toodles appeared to be a typical senior sheep, friendly and quickly bonding with SAINTS' resident sheep, Zuzu.
However, a few weeks after her arrival, a veterinary exam revealed that Toodles was pregnant. On a wintry day, in a cozy pen set up in our shop area, Toodles gave birth to two lambs, Tommy and Lewis. The trio formed a rare and beautiful family in sanctuary, a unique experience for any sheep. The lambs grew big and seemingly strong, joining the larger sheep family in the barnyard.
Tragically, in July 2020, Tommy and Lewis both passed away under anesthesia during a routine medical procedure. They did not suffer or feel pain, having known only love and care from their mother, our volunteers, and our dedicated staff from the day they were born. Their loss was a heartbreaking event during an already challenging year.
Toodles continues to live at SAINTS, where she receives tender care and has a safe home. Although losing her lambs was profoundly painful, Toodles now enjoys the company of an extended farm family and the dedicated care of our team.
