Unlike the traditional animal rescue organizations who would save cats & dogs, this non-traditional animal rescure operation focuses on goats and sheep. You might have never heard of such a rescue of livestock, but here they are and let us show you who they are.
This operation provides these poor animals an animal sanctuary to live their lives, free of fear and being ill treated. Jen Scurman of the Shepherds-Rest-Goat-and-Sheep-Rescue explains that they focus on animals who are abused, not properly treated, or even if their owners have no means of providing them their necessities. They are brought to the sanctuary to live their lives as free animals, without being bred and abused for a specific service their entire lives. Scroll down to check out some of the photos of this unusual, but very cool animal rescue & sanctuary.

This operation urges people to look beyond the general ideas of animal rescue, without limiting this idea at cats and dogs. These poor animals who are abused in hands of a lot of people just using them, has little to no help. So, this rescue team tries to save a lot of animals as possible. This sanctuary accepts goats and sheep with terminal illnesses as well, to spend their final days as comfortable as possible.
