Stephen was born on a factory farm — and, had all gone to plan, he would have been slaughtered for someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. His life turned around when one of our board members negotiated for his release to sanctuary. He rode in the backseat of her car like he had done it a million times and dove into sanctuary life like he knew it was coming. He is Winter’s right hand man, and together they patrol their yard showing off how handsome they are. Stephen is very brave when hes with Winter, but alone he is a little more reserved. He feels most secure following Winter, but has his own giant personality! He loves any fruit and green, and loves patrolling the gardens in the summer for bugs. He is usually the last to go to bed, preferring to remind us he will do as he pleases on his own time. Stephen lives his life on his terms, in safety and love, as all beings deserve.
