For the first time in nine years of running the rescue, we have no goats!
Danny, Rusty and Ha Ha our last three goats have all been rehomed together. We always carry out home checks and offer advice as we need to be sure new owners can care for our rescued animals. We know that these guys will be loved and cared for, for the rest of their natural lives.
Sadly I’m sure it won’t be long before more goats fill our empty space.

Elsie could be a bit grumpy and so was here for quite a while. She has now gone to live in THE most amazing place with a bespoke huge hutch and run. The lucky little girl now also has a husbun called Harry – they make a fantastic couple. We await photos and updates!
On Monday we were on the road all day dropping off animals to new homes and then on the way back picking up a stray piglet. It rained relentlessly and we were nothing short of exhausted when we got home!! ‘Ronnie’ as we have called him was dumped in some woods near Retford and then…
This weekend has been even more manic than normal, with two fund raisers as well as looking after the animals. We need to raise £1,000 a week, so we attend various events raising to help us raise the funds we need to pay for food, bedding, equipment and vets bills….
