A Lamb Named Sasha
Not since the original Sasha, Dorothy and Monte’s wonderful rescued border collie from whom the sanctuary took its name, and Sasha’s unnamed feline best friend who inherited her name after Sasha passed away, has there been another animal on the farm who Dorothy felt deserved the name Sasha. Not until she learned the story of this lamb and spent time with her.
The weekend before Easter, a Detroit resident looked outside into his neighbor’s backyard and was horrified to see four boys beating a young lamb with baseball bats. The poor creature was surely destined to become Easter dinner, and apparently, they thought it might be fun to torture her before she was slaughtered. The neighbor called authorities who were able to seize, and save, the poor little lamb, but not before her leg was severely broken.
She was treated for the break, which required pins to be inserted into her bones to stabilize them while they healed. After a few weeks, the local humane group who had her began looking for a safe place for her to live, and their search ended with SASHA Farm.
Sasha is a sweet, social little lamb. That she still seeks out human affection after the abuse she endured is truly amazing and a testament to her gentle, friendly nature.

I will just never understand how someone could be so cruel to anything, much less a sweet creature such as this lamb. I’m so glad her fate was to find her way to your wonderful farm! I can’t hardly wait to meet her when I come to visit.
I too think she is deserving of such an honored name.

I had no IDEA that was her story! …and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her twice!
Wow…
Makes me even happier that she found her way to the farm. What a rough start at life. Poor little dear….
