ABOUT US | Baahland Sheep Therapy & Animal Sanctuary, Worcestershire, UK

OUR LOVELY STORY

Baah-Land is alive because of some amazing people who work tirelessly for the benefit of the over 110 sheep (the number changes so frequently), our Golden Guernsey Goats, the chickens, and the geese.

Our founder was originally a sheep farmer, who about 7 years ago was taking his sheep to market, when one jumped back into his arms (they are not little as you know) and subsequently, the rest ran back into the trailer, so he realised he couldn't do that anymore, and since that day has spent his life and money rescuing them. What an incredible story.

2021 has been particularly difficult and we are now gearing up for 2023 when we will have Baah-Land ready for our first Sanctuary and Sheep Therapy Visitors.

We are a very small sanctuary and don't have teams of volunteers so rely on all donations hugely, so if you are able to help in any way, we can't thank you enough.

Situated on acres of lush Worcestershire countryside, sheep are able to roam across so much land they never get bored and are always well fed.

As mentioned, we don't have a large volunteer army unfortunately, it's just mainly two people keeping everything going, so every donation or purchase really does help us keep working and putting the animals first.

Thank You for looking at Baah-Land and loving animals x

Flora & Florence

SAVED FROM MARKET

We were deeply loved and brought up as pets, but when we got too big, the kind lady that fed us was told we had to go to market to be sold as meat.

She was sad at this of course, so advertised us as pets for sale.

We saw the advert and went and saved Flora & Florence and added them to our flock where they continue to live very happily.

Black Beauty

NOT WANTED!

Myself and my 6 companions were no longer wanted by our original owner as we were too young to breed and too small for the meat market, so he didn’t want us and wanted to put the ram in with our Mum’s again.

We were sad to leave our Mum’s, but so grateful that we were brought to Baah-Land who welcomed us and put us on the Bank Field which we love to graze in.

We would love you to adopt us… we come as a bundle!

Teddy

I AM A MIRACLE TEDDY!

I am such a happy little Teddy lamb.

I was a miracle born from my Mum of 19 years old and not planned.

She got pneumonia and nearly died so I had to be bottle fed but she returned and just continued to feed me.

I am still with my Mum now and my sister but please adopt me so the money can help my Mum who needs more care due to her age and to help pay her vet bills.

Ship & Shipess

SHIPESS SAVED ME!

I was born and my Mum was really too old to look after me so when I went to feed, she had no milk, so although I did not want to leave my Mum I had to be bottle fed by hand by my new owners in their home.

I needed to be fed day and night but I lacked nutrition from my mum so I could not walk, only on my knees.

The vet came to see me and I had to have injections every day but still could not walk, my back was also bent. The vet said I would never walk and suggested they end my life.

But they never gave up on me. I had to stay in the barn and the other sheep were encouraged to visit me.

Then a few weeks later, a young girl lamb named Shipess was put in with me. She was so pretty and gentle and by morning I was on my feet and have been ever since, and as you can see in the photo, she is always by my side.

Shipess also nearly died. I was so sad when she became blind and did not eat. We were back in the barn but she was hand fed and had medicine every day and she is well again now although the vet said there was no hope and to end her life.

So please adopt us together as we are an inseparable pair.

Jerry

HALF BLIND & NO MUM AT 3 WEEKS!

I had a very sad start to my life. I lost my mum when I was just three weeks old. She was really caring for me then I woke up one day but she never did. I curled up beside her waiting for her to wake but she could not wake.

I was gently taken from her but I was scared and lonely. I was cuddled and fed but my eye developed a ulcer so I was rushed to a specialist eye clinic but my eye had ruptured so could not be saved.

The eye clinic said no one had spent the money to save a sheep’s eye so I was the first they had seen. They did all they could to save my eye but couldn’t unfortunately but my new owners didn’t just give up on me.

I returned home was paired with another Hampshire like me and I learnt I could cope with one eye with my companion by my side. I still need to feel safe and have regular checks on my eye so need more love and medical help than most so I would love it if you could please adopt me.

Bugsy

NOT WANTED BECAUSE I WAS A BOY!

I simply was not wanted as I was born a boy.

I was taken from my Mum and sold to be a pet but was saved and now live happily with my friends at Baah-Land.

My job is look-out as my ears are bigger than my companions and I am easily spotted in the field.

Please adopt me and make me feel wanted.

Angel (mother of Angel Boy)

I NEARLY DIED, SAVAGED BY A DOG!

I was used to breed to make pedigree lambs and I gave birth to Blackie, but as he was a boy, they advertised him to be taken from me at a few days old.

My owners now saw the advert for my Blackie and came and took him so he did not go for meat when he got older but he would not feed without me, so they brought him back to me as he was close to death.

He fed straight away from me so they brought me away too and we are still together now living happily at Baah-Land.

Then an awful thing happened… I was terrified when a dog got in the field and attacked me and Blackie. I ran in front of Blackie to save him but the dog bit me many times and it ripped my chest open.

Without hesitation, my lovely owners called a vet, who stitched and cleaned my wound but the bill was so large but I am so lucky as I could have died and the vet wanted to end my life.

The dog owner was never found and thank heaven my lovely new owners never gave up on me.

If you could adopt me that would be so kind.

Tommy

I WENT BLIND… LOVE SAVED ME!

I was terrified! I suddenly became blind, lost my appetite, and stayed alone from the flock, so frightened.

But I was saved and taken to a warm barn and felt tender loving care and human bond for the first time.

A nice lady vet came said I had vitamin 12 deficiency as I hold my head up high to try and see.

I was given medicine for two weeks and given lots of love and kindness, hand-fed grass, and bit by bit, fruit, veg, sheep food and minerals.

I felt the love, and if they wanted me to live I did too, and fought to survive!

A few days later I could see and soon I was back making new friends and part of a new happy family; but what would have happened if they never saved me?

Please adopt me, it would make me so happy!

Betty

BLIND BUT JUST AS BEAUTIFUL.

I am a 14-year-old Golden Oldie and totally blind, but I always know where my food and tasty Rich Tea biscuit treats are, and of course, my favourite carers! My age and sight don't hold me back and I am a respected member of the flock.

As such a special lady, I need lots of extra care and check-ups from the vet to keep my in tip-top health.
