The story of Ariel and her lamb, Lainey Mae & How to Support Lamb Care in October & November

Every two months Dr. Bronner's chooses an organisation we align with to donate proceeds from the first 100 sales of our Deluxe Sample Packs. In October and November, and in celebration of 'Be Kind to Animals Week', taking place from October 1st - 7th, we're supporting Lamb Care - a small, not for profit rescue organisation that currently rehabilitates and rehomes orphaned, abandoned, sick and injured lambs and unwanted sheep.

These animals reach Lamb Care via farmers, vets, councils and members of the public. Both lambs and sheep are ultimately adopted into forever homes where they become loved members of the family, just like other companion animals such as cats and dogs.

In 2024, 124 lambs and 9 sheep have reached lamb care to date.

To help support Lamb Care, please purchase a deluxe sample pack here. To purchase a gift or learn more about fostering, adopting and volunteering with Lamb Care, please visit lambcareaustralia.org.au.

We also want to highlight some of the incredible work Lamb Care is currently undertaking by sharing the following words from Robyn of Lamb Care:

The story of Ariel and her lamb, Lainey Mae

Lamb Care Australia is a strictly non-breeding organisation so this year we were happy to announce a first for our organisation. 

When Ariel arrived earlier this year with a broken leg that needed to be amputated, none of us had any idea that she was carrying a lamb inside her. It was only a couple of months ago that her carer began to suspect that Ariel may have been pregnant. After weeks of speculation as to when her baby would be born, Ariel gave birth during the week to little Miss Lainey Mae.

When Lainey Mae was born she was curious about the world around her and had gorgeous ears that stood out when she was up and about. Unlike most ewes who give birth, Ariel will never be separated from her baby but will see her grow up into another beautiful sheep.

Lainey Mae has stolen the hearts and time of her carer and her family as there is nothing more meaningful for them than to watch this girl explore and bond with her mother. In the words of her carer “The bond that Ariel and Lainey Mae have is truly special.”
