Gerald Hines is Ferdinand’s Familia & Rescue’s first lamb.  Gerald Hines was 15 days old when he came to the rescue.  He was a twin set, unfortunately he was rejected by his mother.  San Diego’s Department of Animal Services contacted the Director, Janice Jordan and asked the rescue to take him.  Janice bottle fed Gerald Hines until the 1st of February.

Before settling in at his permanent home at the ranch, Janice traveled to a livestock sale and secured the release of a ewe lamb.  Gerald Hines would not be alone at the ranch.  Bessie and Gerald Hines can now be found at the rescue site running around in their secure pen area.

In the middle of March Janice, Carla and Rosie are traveling to Colorado to pick another ewe lamb, a dwarfed Barbados and she will be called Caroline!

If you are interested in visiting the ranch, please contact Michael at 619.850.9442.
