Richmond Animal Care and Control revealed that officers responded to reports of the animal roaming freely through the streets of the US state's capital.
Animal care director Christie Chipps Peters told WRIC-TV: "Our officers received a call on the phone that there was a sheep, and we were like, 'Ha, yeah right,' and then we got there, and there really was a sheep.
"We have never had a sheep at our shelter, and I don't know why this year seems to trend to the barnyard animals."
Chipps Peters revealed that the sheep seemed used to human contact.
She said: "When the sheep walked in to the shelter, we all needed a bit of a smile, and he delivered in that capacity. He lets everyone pet him, he lays his head in your lap and against your leg when you pet him, so he knows what love means."
