Ohio's Leading Voice for the Animals
To Love a Lamb
March 2016
He was appropriately given the name of Patrick and very quickly won over the hearts of staff, volunteers, and visitors at the Ohio SPCA & Humane Society Adoption Center. The first 24 hours were critical as Patrick had to receive colostrum. He quickly took to a bottle. As days and weeks have passed, Patrick has continued to thrive and grow. His life was not only saved in those critical hours after birth. Patrick is a hair sheep and like so many lambs, he was destined to be slaughtered. After spending many days at the adoption center, it was time for Patrick to learn how to be a sheep. For this much-loved lamb, life will now involve spending days on green pastures and nights in a safe barn with his sheep and goat buddies on the Ohio SPCA rehabilitation farm. Life is good for all animals rescued by the Ohio SPCA.
