Meet Dexter

Meet Dexter the old boy. Dexter is an amazing 14 years old, despite this he is doing well for his age, he had lived with another goat but unfortunately he’s been on his own for the past year.

His elderly owner was struggling to look after him so he has come to us to be sorted and to find him a life-long home.

Dexter arrived with his hooves in quite a state, he could not walk properly as they were so overgrown and impacted with dirt, he has never been vaccinated or wormed. His hooves have been trimmed right back now and cleaned out, his coat brushed to removed the matting and next he’ll be wormed and vaccinated.
