Leopold
Leopold and his late brother Muir were named in honor of our two favorite environmentalists, because they arrived at SoL on Earth Day. They both came from a neglect/hoarding situation. They were the best of friends and lived together on the sanctuary for 6 years before Muir passed in 2024. Leopold is still thriving at the sanctuary after having adapted to his new normal. He’s a shy guy but very joyful!
Rest in Peace precious Muir
Gimli
Gimli was rescued from a dairy farm who could not use them, as they were born a hermaphrodite! They luckily were not taken to slaughter as many goats in similar situations are, and instead ended up with us at SoL. They are super friendly and silly and we love their amazing beard!
Bruce
When Bruce came to SoL he was grieving the loss of his last herd-mate during the same time that we were grieving the loss of our little Finnigan. He needed a new family and fit in immediately! He is very relaxed and friendly and seems to really enjoy his life here with us.
Bruce still needs a sponsor! To learn more about our sponsorship program, click here.
Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn was found dumped in a city with a note explaining that she had been saved from being eaten. She luckily found her way to SoL and will never have to worry about facing that fate again! Despite her size she is very adventurous and boisterous, and has quickly made friends with the other goats.
Charlie
Charlie was born on a goat grazing operation. His mother wasn’t able to nurse him and so he was sick and needed extra attention and help. He arrived at SoL shortly after Gwendolyn did, and the two of them are growing up together as best friends.
Benny
When we first got the call about Benny, we were told that a dairy farm needed help with a blind, female baby goat who had been struggling. We hurried to pick her up and realized that “she” was in fact a “he” and was not blind at all but just very malnourished and sick. Benny made a full recovery with us, and is now a big part of the family. He is a lap baby, and is very healthy and growing stronger every day.

JUNIPER
Juniper is a little Kiko goat, a breed typically used for meat. She was one of triplets and was born without the use of her front leg. The farm she came from breeds and sells goats. She wasn’t able to keep up with the herd so thankfully, they reached out for sanctuary. Here Juniper lives her life fully on her own terms and with her very special friends in our herd.
PEEPs & Olive
Peeps and Olive came yo us when our friends at Spring Farm Sanctuary retired. They are both older lady goats and are the tiniest, sweetest, silliest girls!
BRIAR ROSE
Briar Rose is an 11 year old Shetland sheep who came to us because Her people were aging and experiencing some health issues and they were moving out of state to be closer to family. They had been raising Shetland sheep for the last 20 years and Briar Rose lost her last remaining herd member and had been grieving and lonely. We hoped that we could help her find comfort with a new herd/family.
