If you lost a male sheep wearing an ugly Christmas sweater, the Nebraska Humane Society may have your animal.

Animal control officers found a sheep near 13th and Ogden Streets in north Omaha after receiving a complaint. The sheep was taken to the shelter for protection about 7 p.m. Sunday.

NEBRASKA HUMANE SOCIETY

This male sheep -- wearing this Christmas sweater -- was found Sunday night at 1331 Ogden St. mingling with some goats.

The animal appears to be healthy, very friendly and “walks well on a leash,” said Elizabeth Hilpipre of the humane society. She said co-workers found that he will “bolt for the door” when there’s an opening.

“We’ve had sheep here before but never one in a sweater, so that’s pretty unusual,” Hilpipre said. “We’re thinking maybe he wandered away from a live nativity scene or maybe he was in an ugly Christmas sweater contest and just decided to leave.”
