About Rowdy
Rowdy came to us from a pound environment after being found roaming with 3 other sheep. He was very scared and was sadly left unclaimed and we had to step in to bring him to safety.
Since then, Rowdy has blossomed into a strapping young boy with beautiful curly horns. He is much braver now and when he see's you coming, will start screaming for Weetbix!
He will now happily eat out of you hands but can still get alarmed with sudden movements or if he thinks you're trying to catch him.
Rowdy will need to be adopted with 1 or 2 of his favourite paddock buddies so that he feels safe in his new home. We'd happily recommend which sheep are his friends!
Rowdy is castrated and up to date with all vaccinations, worming and lice treatment.
We can assist with transport statewide if our fuel is covered.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
