Minnie arrived at Animal Place in 2018 under distressing circumstances. An individual presented Minnie confined in the trunk, making ominous threats of harm if we declined to provide her refuge. Tragically, Minnie exhibited signs of distress. Her limbs were tightly bound by duct tape, and her face was visibly swollen. We promptly removed the restraints and relocated her to a quiet barn where she could recover.

Initially apprehensive towards humans and fellow sheep, Minnie’s gradual transformation unfolded as she began to acclimate to her surroundings and find solace at Animal Place.
