Seeing Elvis enjoying life in his wheelchair, aptly called his “hoonmobile”, as he raced around his carer’s property with his best friend Stewie gave us all hope for a bright future for this precious boy. His vet and physio also had high hopes that all that was needed was time and exercise. It came as a shock to everyone when the prognosis suddenly turned as it became evident that the development of Elvis’ muscle strength was just not able to keep up with his natural weight gain. Every option was discussed in the hope of finding a solution for this otherwise very healthy lamb but sadly there was no option. The hearts of many, particularly his carer and her family, were broken when Elvis was euthanized 3 months after his arrival into our care.

Through this Foundation we hope that lambs and sheep in need will be able to have the long and happy life that was denied Elvis. A life that we are sure Elvis would be so pleased to see them have.
