Today we have rescued these cute little fellas, two castrated male pygmy goats. Their owner who gave them up, originally inherited them when their former owner passed away, but now they are unable to keep them any longer.
We have put them into temporary isolation whilst we check them over, trim their hooves, worm and vaccinate, then when they have the all clear, they can go with our other goats and sheep and enjoy the outside along with our goat climbing frame.

We just want to say a huge, huge thank you to everyone that helped out and supported our first open day on Sunday. We are so, so grateful to so many people. We raised nearly £2,000 with more money still being pledged which is more than we ever hope for.
This little chap is Walter, he is now only 8 days old and being hand reared. Born on 28 December, Walters 5 other siblings unfortunately died, we received a call to take on the only survivor.

We have been asked to take on 4 goats and 2 Jacob sheep. We need help to build another enclosure for these animals who are already living together. Woody the goat in the picture originally lived in a ‘petting farm’ but kept escaping.
Meet 1 of today’s emergencies who we’ve called Jasmine. Yes, that is a broken leg but also a broken leg that has been left untreated and has set in the worst possible way. Not only that but Jasmine was also dumped at the side of the road. It’s unbelievable the sheer amount of cruelty cases…
Meet Pearl and Gem, mother and daughter Dartmoor Ponies and absolute sweeties, who arrived at the rescue last week. They soon got accepted into the rest of the herd in the field, these beautiful girls are inseparable and adorable.
