Lupin is one of our favourite sheep here at the sanctuary (shh, don’t tell the others!).

In May 2023, founder Hayley had driven to a farm in Wiltshire to rescue two other lambs from slaughter; Tiny and Berry (also available for sponsor-sheep!). Upon arrival, the farmer told Hayley about an orphaned lamb who’s life was hanging in the balance, nicknamed 'Ghost’. The farmer intended to take him on a one way trip to the market later that day.

Of course, Hayley agreed to also rescue ‘Ghost’, an adorable little lamb not suited to his name at all. After a few tries, he was officially named Lupin, after the Harry Potter character.

He is a very gentle soul and loves nothing more than a cuddle. He has become a complete mummy’s boy, and follows Hayley wherever she goes.
