Rob is probably the shyest resident in the IFS family. This handsome fella prefers lots of space from humans, though he’ll sometimes surprise us by coming over for a head pet.

It’s not hard to understand why Rob is so shy, since he experienced a serious trauma before he was surrendered to the sanctuary. Rob was born into a school agriculture program, where he would have been fattened up and sent to slaughter. But sweet Rob was attacked by a coyote and suffered a devastating wound to his neck.

The caretaker at the farm nursed Rob back to health and couldn’t stand the thought of him going to slaughter. Instead, the caretaker arranged for Rob’s freedom and called us as he was on his way to the butcher—and even better, he arranged for Rob’s best friend, Steve, to be saved with him.

Today, Rob is living his best life at the sanctuary. Beneath all of his hair, Rob still has a large scar from his coyote attack, but he otherwise made a full physical recovery. The memory of the coyote attack surely lingers, but we can see that Rob feels safe and secure here at the sanctuary with his chosen family.
