Trixie’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Trixie is a sweet rescue lamb whose story began with one of the most unusual mysteries Butterfly Valley Rescue & Sanctuary has ever encountered. She was discovered alongside her best friend, Dixie, a tiny baby goat, after the pair were reportedly found abandoned on the side of Dixie Highway in Louisville. Still dependent on bottles and far too young to survive on their own, they were brought to safety while the sanctuary worked with state officials through the required stray hold process. No owner ever came forward, and Trixie officially became part of the Butterfly Valley family.
Understanding Their Difference

Care That Changes
When Trixie arrived as a bottle-dependent lamb, she received newborn feeding support and close monitoring. She no longer requires specialized newborn care and now receives routine preventive care, nutrition, shelter, and enrichment with her flock.
