Hank (sheep) Arrived 5th December 2018 In late 2018 Hank was discovered homeless and wandering in bushland. He was all alone with no other sheep in sight. He was brought home by the woman who found him, and she offered him a loving home.

Originally his stay at Happy Hooves was to be temporary. Before rehoming he would first need to…

Gandalf
Gandalf (sheep) Arrived 17th July 2017 Gandalf arrived at Happy Hooves at around six months of age. His carers had found him three weeks prior on a neighbouring property, downed and covered in frost. There was no sign of his mother. They discovered that his front joints were swollen, and he was unable to walk and tried to treat his condition with home remedies.
