Urgent: Rescued Goats Need Your Help

We're facing an urgent and heart-wrenching situation. Yesterday we embarked on a deeply challenging mission to rescue numerous goats trapped in a distressing hoarding nightmare.

Initially, the owner began with just a handful of pet goats, but unfortunately, they didn't take the necessary steps to have them neutered. As a result, the goat population spiraled out of control rapidly, and without YOUR support today, this distressing situation will persist and worsen.

As is often the case in such heartbreaking scenarios, the owner had severely underestimated the number of goats they had. Instead of the expected 26, it ended up being a staggering 58 female goats (we haven't even had the opportunity to address the male goats we had to leave behind. The owner's severe underreporting of the goat count has left us facing an overwhelming and dire circumstance). This sudden influx has dramatically escalated our anticipated expenses in our mission to aid these helpless animals.

In our mission, we've joined forces with two other remarkable sanctuaries, Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary and Rescued Friends. Together, we are providing loving foster care for all of these goats in need.

At OutPaws Sweet Home Sanctuary, we've welcomed 47 goats, mamas and their babies, into our sanctuary, where they will receive critical veterinary care. Your support is desperately needed now more than ever to help feed them, vet them, and provide comfortable bedding for their stay.

We'll need temporary shelters for the pregnant mama goats, hay priced at $40 per month per goat, veterinary care for all the goats, transportation for relocating them to out-of-state adopters, and fresh bedding.

These goats will become available for adoption soon, and we'll keep you posted with additional details regarding the adoption process. In the meantime, we'll need your support in raising the critical funds necessary ASAP to provide these deserving goats with feed and medical attention. Your contribution will make a significant difference in their lives ❤️!
