Every pet deserves a loving and respectful home: please only consider acquiring a pet if you will be able to take care of its long-term needs. Also, consider choosing your animal companion from a shelter, where there are so many wonderful furry friends who need a forever home.

Franklin was a ram lamb rejected by his mother, and his prospects looked grim… that is, until Emily and Trevor McCann, owners of The Open Barn Sanctuary in Ramona, California, took him in.

Today, the two animals are best friends, able to live free of the threat of abandonment and danger.
