Joy in one tiny rescued goat
The name 'Abigail' means "cause of joy" and that is certainly what we experienced as we welcomed our newest resident to the FAR goat herd in July 2021. When an animal loving neighbour spotted Abigail on her own and deteriorating fast after the death of her sole herd mate, she acted swiftly along with Abigail's guardian to find some new friends for this sweet doe.
Lonely goat is rescued
FAR was contacted and learnt that she had been living on a property with one other goat, who had unfortunately passed away. Being a girl who loves company, she was no longer eating and had become listless in her loneliness.
Having suffered other trauma in the past - she has been bitten by a dog at least once that we know of - she, is a little cautious of us just now.
Goats love living with a herd
We soon noticed that Abigail's instinct to be part of a herd is strong, and she is took comfort from being around the contented FAR goats. Within days of her rescue we found her tentatively following the herd as they wander the vast FAR pastures and forage in the forest, tucking into her hay and gradually becoming more relaxed.
Abigail is currently seeking a sponsor who can join her on a beautiful journey at the sanctuary. Your sponsorship will provide her with the best healthcare, nutritious meals, and the freedom to explore 55 acres of paradise alongside her dear goat friends from Farm Animal Rescue.
