Meet Bear

Hi!  I'm Bear, when I'm not napping on the furniture, I have a super important job at Rooterville, I keep the predators away!  And we have them:  panthers, bears, coyotes, foxes, bobcats and more!  Just because I am here is enough to keep them away but if not, my large size and ferocious bark are enough to do the trick.

I love visitors, especially those little ones, but if anyone tries to sneak in at night, we won't be so nice!

Meet our Goofy Goats!

We came to Rooterville from a breeding situation that was out of control so we're not real keen on interacting with you unless you have SNACKS!  Our names are Jekyl and Hyde, because we're always into trouble.  Mischeif is our middle name. 

We like to hang out near the farmhouse but you could find us anywhere.  Bring snacks and we might pay attention to you!

Baby Doll Sheep

These wooly cuties are friendliest if snacks are involved. If no snacks are forthcoming, BamBam the ram lamb will enjoy attention. He loves chin, neck and cheek scratches and he'll stand there all day and let you scatch on him. His sister, Anya, the smallest of the lambs, was bottle raised and in spite of that, she is very shy with strangers. Snacks are the way to get her attention. She has a book coming out soon about her life which is a miracle and quite the inspirational story. She'll be getting her own social media pages soon so keep your eye out. You will get to know her before she is famous!

Billy Bob

I'm a big deal around Rooterville, you'll know it as soon as you see me! I love strutting around and telling everyone who's boss with my gobble gobbling. I dare you to gobble! I'll show you my gobble is the best! I'm a "tom" turkey and I'm here with my 4 partners. We landed at Rooterville when our home was invaded by a bob cat. We're the lucky ones! Alot of folks get birds thinking we'll be great pets but when the wild critters find out about us, we're toast! Having your own flock sounds cool but it's best to leave that to the experts. Eggs are bad for you anyway.

My Name Is Carley

I was found as a little kitten, lost as could be. Some nice folks helped me get to Rooterville. Now, I have fun all day, eating lots of delicious food and treats. Sometimes, I catch a bird, that makes the people really mad but I can't help myself. I can only catch the really slow ones. When I'm not eating I like to follow people around and see what they're doing. Look for me when you visit. You may not see me but rest assured, I'm watching you!

Hey, I’m Poppy

I am hungry all the time! Yep, I never get enough to eat around here but other than that, this is a great place to be a pig. I talk alot. I just want to make sure the people don't forget me if they have any snackies. I was dumped by some folks who said they loved me but I guess they really didn't because they left me all by myself and I didn't know what to do or what I would eat! It was terrible, I was so sad and scared and hungry. A nice person helped me get to Rooterville, now I always know I'm going to get something to eat, I just wish it was all the time!

I’m Daphne and I love meeting new people...

I love to greet visitors, mostly because they have delicious things to eat!  I'll meet you up by the gift shop most days.  I had a beautiful family that I loved very much.  Our humans moved away and left us in a tiny pen where most of my babies and my husband died from starvation before someone found us and set us free.  Because of the starvation, my babies didn't live very long but I'm still here and now I know that not all humans are dispicable like the ones who left us in a pen to die.

Hi! We're Aurora and Gabby!

 Aurora was sold to a lady who couldn't take care of her properly.  Aurora had a hurting eye and she was crying all the time, it was very painful. We came to Rooterville and Aurora had her eye removed. She looks a little funny now but she feels so much better, no more tears for her!

Gabby (Brown mini horse) is as ornery as she is cute! She loves attention but gets upset if you don't give her snacks. Best to NOT give her snacks to enjoy her. If you have any fear of her, you'll want to keep your distance from her and DO NOT let kids put their hand in her face, she will bite! For our city guests who aren't used to farm life, its best to keep your distance from Gabby. She is typically penned up during the day and comes out in the evening to eat grass. Due to her and Aurora's blue eyes, they can't be out in the hot sun.

If you'd like to take her for a walk, you are welcome to do that, you will need to get a rope and halter from us. She enjoys doing that and Dexter will be right along with y'all, he's in love with Gabby.

Ginger the Chiweenie

Hi! I'm Ginger, the sweetest little pooch you'll ever meet!  I am a Chiweenie and I am the boss of Rooterville!  I love visitors can't wait to see you. You can rub my belly and pet me, that's my favorite. I love running all day and making sure everyone is behaving themselves.  I'm 15 now and came to Rooterville when I was a puppy from a backyard breeder who didn't want me because I was too much trouble. My favorite treats are Greenies.

  Jett

Hi!  I am Jett and my family originated in Scottland, that is why I'm so fluffy because the weather there is cold and rainy.  It's also why my personality is so gentle and sweet!  People say I'm cuter than a bug and I believe it because I draw people to me like a magnet!  I'm here at Rooterville to help raise funds to help my animal friends at Rooterville!  It costs alot to care for over 100 animals so your help means alot.  Oh, I love to cuddle, that's my job here.

Dexter

Dexter our dinky donkey is an absolute gem! He loves to be pet and snuggles right into you, he is like velcro! He loves attention and snacks if you have them. Whether or not you have treats, Dexter is going to snuggle right into you for scratches. He's so tiny and so adorable and don't even think of sneaking him into your pocket and taking him home! Dexter is going to be one of the highlights of your visit, he belongs to Fluffy Cow Farm.

Jake the Hugging Turkey

Jake is our young Tom turkey and he loves attention! Don't mistake his showing off for aggression, he is anything but aggressive! If you put your arms out and approach him kind of quickly to get ahold of him, then make sure to have an arm around the front of him and he'll hold still so you can get some cute pictures of him with you. You will likely never get the chance to hug a turkey again, they are typically mean.
