Sister Rosie

Paint

Birthday
January 2000

A Little Bit About Me...
Rosie was seen at a livestock auction with a swayback and a bad leg injury. A rescue organization based in San Francisco bought her and sent her to the hospital, assuming it would be a euthanasia case. But Rosie is a fighter, and for 7 months she was in a stall, getting better every day. The rescue organization called us and asked if we could take her in and give her sanctuary.

Read the full rescue story HERE:

Her name, Sister Rosie, was chosen to honor a TikTok user's daughter who passed away from Cystic Fibrosis, as children sometimes refer to the disease as "65 Roses." Initially, we thought she was in her 30s, but our vet recently aged her through a dental examination and she is about 22 years old! A reminder to get your yearly cleaning.

Your purchase help us rescue and care for forgotten, neglected and abused farm animals that come to live at our FHF Sanctuary. Follow their transformations here.
