A five-legged lamb named Spider Lamb was given a second chance at life when he was adopted by a Mississippi woman in time for the Easter holiday.
“He’s definitely a lamb that everyone who sees him loves,” Nathalie Lenot told Fox News Digital.
Lynott, who is passionate about rehabilitating animals in need, said the spider ram was in terrible condition when she rescued him earlier this week.
“My vet didn’t think he would make it,” Lenot said. “He had maggots, a bad infection and a high fever, but he made it through!!”

Lynott said the adorable sheep will undergo hernia surgery in April.
“Unfortunately, his intestines are inside his testicles and they are so huge that we have to have the hernia corrected,” Lenot explained. “It’s not something he can handle for a while.”

“We scheduled his surgery for the end of April to allow him to fully heal, so he is healthy enough to go into the hernia surgery,” she said.

She said helping animals is one of the “most rewarding” things.
“It’s stressful, it’s depressing, and you get a lot less sleep, but it’s also the most rewarding thing, sacrificing your time to give the animals a chance to live,” Lenot said.
