Nancy is a survivor of neglect. Thanks to Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary’s swift action, she received medical care, including a prosthetic leg, and now has a forever home at Lily’s Place Animal Sanctuary.

Nancy arrived on May 13, 2023, and settled in quickly. She’s super sweet and has made fast friends with Jackie (our summer student).

"Nancy’s story is one of resilience. She’s a survivor and, despite the odds, found her way to rescue. 

She was born on a farm, and ended up with a broken leg. Despite the seriousness of her injury, she received no medical treatment. 

Neglecting to provide Nancy with aid, the lower part of her limb eventually died and fell off, leaving her with a partial leg. 

Nancy was then given to a hobby farm that needed a companion for their sheep who had recently lost her friend. 

Nancy was living at the hobby farm with just her basic needs of food and water met. She also wasn’t provided with critical, routine procedures like being sheared and her hooves trimmed. 

We [Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary} were contacted by the hobby farmer asking if we could give Nancy a home because her friend had recently passed away. I told her we weren’t taking on any new rescues, but I would reach out to another sanctuary to see if they could help. 

Thankfully, Lily's Place Animal Sanctuary agreed to give Nancy a forever home and liked the name we suggested (“Nancy”) as she would be living with Sid (a lamb we rescued several years ago and placed at Lily’s Place). 

Before Nancy makes her way to Lily's Place, she is getting fitted for a prosthetic leg so she can get around easier. The photos show her prototype, but she will get her finished prosthetic leg later this week! 

Nancy survived against the odds for so long, but she’ll never have to fend for herself again. Now she’s getting the care that wasn’t afforded to her previously, and she’ll be safe for the rest of her life".
