Sheep

Ava

Rescue-versary: October 21, 2020

Found abandoned with her brother Peter just four or five days after birth. Their caregivers bottle-fed them every few hours, and the babies became deeply attached to their new caregivers.

Personality: A very gentle soul. Enjoys head scratches and the company of her sheep and human friends.

What sponsoring Ava supports

Estimated monthly cost of care, based on typical Park City, Utah-area pricing for feed, bedding, and veterinary care. Costs are shared across the herd or flock, so figures below are per-animal averages, not itemized invoices.

Grass hay~$15/mo

Straw bedding~$15/mo

Clean straw bedding in their shelter, especially through Park City's snowy winters.

Minerals & treats~$10/mo

Sheep-safe mineral supplements (no copper, which is toxic to sheep) and the occasional treat.

Water~$5/mo

A steady supply of clean water, year-round.

Veterinary, hoof & shearing care~$25/mo

Routine exams, vaccinations, regular hoof trims, and shearing so they stay comfortable in summer.

Pasture & shelter upkeep~$15/mo

Fencing and shelter maintenance, shared across the flock.

Estimated total cost of care~$85/month
