Meet our goat friends
The first barn you see belongs to Jingles and KC, two of our youngest and most spirited goats.
Jingles, a Nigerian Dwarf goat, was born blind. A breeder wanted her euthanized, but our large animal veterinarians thought of us instead. She was bottle-fed by Trina and volunteers and quickly showed her resilience and strength. During the holidays she swayed her head to the rhythm of Jingle Bells, inspiring her name. Jingles is strong, spirited, and adored by many of all ages.
KC was found shivering under a carport during a rainstorm. When no family came forward, she became part of our herd. We were looking for a friend for Jingles and KC came at the perfect time. Her name, short for Karma Chaos, fits perfectly. It was karma that she found us, and chaos to suddenly have two baby goats in Trina’s house. KC is mischievous and full of energy, once even jumping onto Trina’s dining room table. Together, these two are learning side by side, proving that friendship makes every challenge easier.
Meet Bob our friendly ambassador. Bob is a sweetheart who came when his family could no longer care for him. They asked us to promise he would always get a kiss on the nose, and we keep that promise every day. He loves company and basking in the sun.
This is Hector. Hector is the elder of our goat family at 17 years old. He came to us as a baby, one of 33 goats rescued from neglect. He now enjoys private, non-interrupted meals and long naps in the sun. Hector carries the wisdom of age and is a daily reminder of resilience.
This is Boo Boo, our tallest goat. Boo Boo is an Alpine goat who spent his early life tied to a tree. That lonely existence is behind him now. Here he stretches his long neck, grazes freely, and enjoys attention until he decides he has had enough. He’s a goat that knows what he does and does not want in life.
Shorty is our smallest goat. Shorty, a pygmy goat, was found wandering with no owner. Small in size but big in personality, he is always first in line for food and will wiggle and head butt his way through the goat herd for attention.
This is Juno. Juno was born here after his mother Ariel was rescued from neglect. He has only ever known love and security. Curious and playful, he often gets himself into mischief. His painted horns are proof of his adventurous nature, helping to clue us into the farm project he has inspected.
Kahluah was surrendered after her partner goat passed away. She quickly joined the herd and now enjoys sunshine, companionship, and attention from visitors.
Midnight arrived with two sheep companions, Marge and Middie, after her family could no longer provide care. She lives in her own private barn during visiting hours since she can be pushy with her horns. From her space, she enjoys scratches and greeting visitors safely.
Dusty and his brother Duff came from a cruelty case. Malnourished and parasite-ridden at first, they grew into handsome, strong goats. Dusty’s hazel eyes are as striking as his story of resilience.
Fifi and Bambi are a mother daughter duo. They are Lamanchas, known for their short ears. They were rescued from neglect thanks to a kind neighbor who intervened. These bonded ladies are thriving now and show us how deeply animals connect, just like people do.
This is Bambi, Fifi’s kid. Bambi came to us very tiny and loved to sit in laps.
Penny and Petunia are pictured here. It’s hard to talk about one without the other, though sadly we lost our sweet Penny in August 2025. Penny and Petunia (dark brown goat) came when their owner decided they were no longer useful: Penny needed extra hoof care and Petunia was not a good milk producer. The sisters were inseparable and though we worried, Petunia has done remarkably well after the loss of her sister with help and love from her sanctuary family. She is gentle and cherished. We promised Penny we would look after Petunia, and we know she is still watching over us all.
