Categories : Rainbow Bridge

Lucy (ewe). Arrived 14 November 2012 Update 24th June 2019: This morning, held in loving arms and as the winter sunshine warmed her face, Lucy’s 17 years on this Earth came to an end. Our grand old lady definitely had a wonderful long life but alas her weary old body just couldn’t take any more. It has been an honor caring for you Lucy, we will miss you. Rest easy old girl <3 Lucy arrived with Mary (deceased), Jack (deceased), Minty (deceased) Julio,  Freckles, Kath and Kel.. They came from a…

Jacko (sheep). Arrived 25 March 2016 Beautiful black-faced Suffolk, Jacko might be thanking his stars that he got hit by a car whilst out exploring with his mother in our neighbourhood. The farmer was glad to get rid of him claiming he was a Houdini. He wasn’t badly injured by the hit – just a bit stunned and given the OK by one of our vets. Now he has a safe and loving forever home with us. Sadly his mother couldn’t come too 🙁   Would you like to help…

Yuki and Kengi

Categories : Rainbow Bridge

Yuki and Kengi Arrived 4/10/2014 In early October we took in two adorable little chicks – the end result of a preschool hatching program. If they hadn’t found their way to us they would’ve gone back to the supplier to an unknown and possibly lethal fate, and any brothers would’ve been killed as there is no use for roosters after the program ends. The welfare needs of hatched chicks can often be compromised as many schools do not have a budget for veterinary treatment and lack expert knowledge of their…

Julio (Alpaca): Arrived 14 November 2012 UPDATE: May 23, 2017, Sadly today we said farewell and rest in peace to our beautiful old boy Julio. Since Julio came to Happy hooves in 2012 he has been a big favorite amongst volunteers and visitors, he was always a part of the landscape looking out across the paddocks and will be very sorely missed. We love you Julio. Julio is a very regal character, who arrived with Mary (deceased), Jack (deceased), Minty, Lily lamb, Kath, Kel and Lucy. They all came from…

Olive (sheep). Arrived 6 February 2013 A few months ago a cancerous growth on Olive’s nose ruptured. Despite efforts to treat the wound, the infection continued to worsen as her 13 year old body could no longer fight it. We tried our best to keep her as comfortable as possible,… but we could see her condition was affecting her quality of life – she was experiencing a lot of discomfort and starting to have trouble eating. With the guidance of our vet, we made the painful decision to end her…

Joey (sheep) Arrived 8 December 2016 Little Joey and his sweet sister Jasmine were left orphaned at just one week (approximately) of age. The motherless pair were found on a property north of here, by a young backpacker. The owner of the farm on which they were discovered was disinterested in the lambs’ welfare and suggested they be destroyed. This was not an option for the young woman, and she found herself caring for the lambs as best she could. As she would be leaving the country in a couple of weeks, she…

Rupert

Rupert (Boer goat – male): Arrived December 2011 Rupert (and brother, Thurman) were found with their two sisters by Mundaring Council and ended up at the Mundaring Shire pound. Their sisters found homes but nobody came to give Rupert and Thurman a home, so a lovely woman who worked at the shire took them to save them from being euthanased and they found their way to us. Rupert is the quieter, better-behaved “lover, not a fighter” goat, whist his brother Thurman is the naughty one, though Rupert does have a…

Angel (ewe). Arrived: 2011 UPDATE 2 NOVEMBER 2016 Sadly, Angel was found dead in her yard today. Angel had not been unwell and was only checked a couple of hours previously. We suspect a snake bite, or some sudden health issue such as a heart attack or stroke. RIP with the other Angels, sweet girl. Angel is one of the tiniest full-grown ewes we have ever seen, and she ended up with us at Happy Hooves because her boyfriend Krusty got evicted from his home for “aggressive” behaviour. He turned…

Heff - Rainbow Bridge

Categories : Animal Rescues

Heff: ram. Arrived 4 June 2014 Heff was surrendered by a municipal pound. He was abandoned in Woorooloo by rental runner, picked up by shire, unclaimed and not able to be rehomed. He was due for destruction and “off to the meat man”.  Heff is an uncastrated ram, seems to be young and possibly Dorper mix. He was very skinny and with snotty nose when delivered to us and we had little knowledge of his history. He needed to be castrated and for his condition to be improved. Unfortunately, Heff…

Isla (goat). Arrived 27 April 2016 Isla was found roaming by a municipal shire and taken to the pound where no one claimed her, so we offered her a home at Happy Hooves. We have no idea of her history, but she is very shy and retiring and seems to have taken a fancy to Shaggy in the paddock across the run.       Would you like to help us to take care of Isla?  One off donations and sponsorship gifts are available now to support our work. Thank…

Flopsy: (sheep/ewe): Arrived 2011 Rainbow Bridge 12 May 2016: Another long term, favourite resident departs, leaving us heart-broken. Flopsy came to us with two other ewes (Fuzzy & HiTops) in 2011 whilst still in Parkerville. She was a loner and not prone to contact, but had a sweet nature to match her face. She got her name Flopsy from her one floppy ear – a legacy (along with scars from horrific leg injuries) from a serious dog attack early in life. Last year she received veterinary attention for her loss…

Sweet Pea (lamb/whether). Born at Happy Hooves 5 May 2013 UPDATE: We lost Sweet Pea very unexpectedly during crutching and wigging in March 2016 through no one’s fault. He suffered a heart attack and passed quickly – unable to be revived. He is survived by his mother, Olive. R.I.P. Nuggin. Wow… did Sweet Pea ever come as a surprise! Mum, Olive and Patrick (Paddy) were picked up roaming the bush with Ellen DeHeiferis – all very skinny and undernourished. We had no idea that Olive was pregnant right up to…

Corney (Ameraucauna rooster). Arrived: 18 August 2013 UPDATE: 10 February 2016 Our hearts were literally broken by the discovery today of our gorgeous boy, Corney, lying dead in the main room of our hospital barn. Corney had been recuperating from a complicated break to his tibia late last October and subsequent surgery to insert a rod to help with repair. He has spent most of this time in isolation in one of the stalls in the hospital barn to allow him to rest and recover and let the leg heal…

Tumbles  (goat). Arrived 23 November 2015 Tumbles was found wandering the eastern suburbs and taken in by the municipal pound. A suitable home was unable to be found for her, so we took her in at Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary – she was the first female goat to join our list of goat residents: Rupert, Thurman, Gary Sweet, Shaggy, Beau & Jangles and Pogo! Being so small and tame, she was kept separate from the big boofy blokes and on her lonesome (with the dogs and the humans) until coincidentally,…
