The majority of our residents come from less than desirable circumstances, such as hoarding and cruelty situations. They often arrive with illness or injury, making their road to recovery a bit of a challenge. We embrace these opportunities to change their lives and to see them blossom and smile again. Here are just a few of the friends here at The Farm, both past & present. We hope you enjoy!
Max and his mama, Adira, arrived here late on a cold evening in January, 2021. The following morning, it was apparent that he was suffering from contracted tendons in his front legs. A quick trip to the hardware store and then the medical closet here at the Farm, and he had splints made of pipe insulation, duct tape and vet wrap. Two weeks later, splints came off and we never looked back. Success!
Old Man Gilly, most senior of all residents here at 11 years old, arrived at the sanctuary approximately 1.5 years ago. He was in poor overall condition, undernourished and had never had a loose mineral (necessary for all goats) in his life. Just a short couple of months ago, Gilly was found hypothermic in the yard and unable to stand, let alone walk. He was immediately brought inside, warmed slowly and tests were run. In the weeks to follow, he received supportive care, several medications and supplements and physio to keep his legs stretched, since he was unable to move. After using a lift and sling to begin to get Gilly on his feet, he surprised us by pulling out his "get up and go". And from here, he simply went. We are so proud of you, Mr. Happy Pants!
One of our most favorite road trips taken was to get Livvy. Livvy was the only surviving kid, losing her siblings and her mom just after delivery. Blind and suffering from neurological issues, her previous owners simply didn't have the time, nor the resources, to help her. She's made great strides here at the Farm, is slowly mapping the yard area and is also learning some commands and cues to ensure that she doesn't get herself into a bad situation and so we can get her penned quickly when it is necessary. She's a love bug, vocal and is currently living with her new pal, Gilly, in a separate stall in the barn for their safety. We love this girl so much!
