Adopt Sooty and Sweep

Unknown

These little sheep were the most pitiful we have encountered - their owner had cruelly abandoned them in the middle of winter. A good samaritan contacted us about their plight. Once given the all clear by Animal Health to move them they were brought to the sanctuary. We checked them over on arrival and found that they were both utterly emaciated. We called our vet who estimated that they only weighed about 5kg each when they should have been 10kg plus for their size. We carefully wormed and medicated them and they gradually made a fantastic recovery!They are extremely playful and often instigate a group game with our other sheep and they can be seen running back and forth in a very joyful manner. Even the older sheep like to join in!

About Sooty and Sweep

What life with Sooty and Sweep looks like

Frequently asked

Adopting Sooty and Sweep, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sooty and Sweep?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Willows Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sooty and Sweep on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sooty and Sweep if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Willows Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sooty and Sweep already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sooty and Sweep isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Willows Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sooty and Sweep and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
