Get ready to meet the most friendly goat in the world...Cotton Candy!
This sweetheart was one of the very first goats in the Fabled Farm program. She arrived blind in one eye and with a hip deformity.
She might walk a little wonky, but it doesn't slow her down in the least! Cotton is always at the gate ready for treats or pets.
Cotton is part of the Fabled Farm Education Program and helps visitors learn about goats! She will also show off her famous painting skills and has custom artwork for sale.
Cotton receives special hoof trims to help her walk more comfortably and joint supplements.

Kit Kat
Intake Date: 9/5/22
Age: 2 years
Species: Goat
Breed: Nubian
Favorite Things: Running and playing
Kit Kat is a miracle!
Kit Kat arrived at the rescue having to be propped up with straw bales, unable to stand.
The x-rays showed a shattered pelvis and a shattered femur head. Her injuries had happened months previously and the bones had healed as best they could. This poor girl had endured whatever trauma caused the injury and healed without any medical treatment. Our vet said euthanasia would be a kindness...but she was fighting to stand...so we decided to take a chance and do physical therapy and pain management.
Soon she was walking, then running, and now she jumps, plays, and chases the other goats!! She is no longer on pain meds and only walks with a slight limp. She is a brave girl with a fighting spirit!

Rolo
Intake Date: 3/19/22
Age: 2 years
Species: Goat
Breed: Nubian
Favorite Things: Jumping on everything and animal crackers
You might not have met Rolo, but he loves you already and can't wait to be your new bestie!
Rolo arrived with his brother, Twix as bottle babies. Unfortunately Twix had underlying health conditions and even with the best care of the UT vets was unable to be saved. Rolo was heartbroken.
Kit Kat had arrived at the rescue a few months prior and was ready to move to the goat area (see her story under Special Needs Crew). Rolo and Kit Kat healed each other. She became the friend he needed and he taught her how to play. Their relationship is so special and truly heartwarming to witness.
Rolo now teaches visitors about goat care and what they need to be happy and healthy.

S'more & Churro
Intake Date: 6/16/23
Age: 1 year
Species: Goat
Breed: Nigerian Dwarf
Favorite Things: Getting into trouble and eating things they shouldn't
If you have ever lived with a toddler, then you know what life is like with adorable baby goats, S'more & Churro!
S'more arrived at rescue after having been trampled by his herd. He was left with neurological issues and blind in one eye. We immediately started physical therapy to help him regain balance and movement. He has progressed so far and now can run and play!
We knew S'more would need a long term buddy to help him navigate the world, and we heard about Churro. He was smaller than he should be and couldn't remain safely with his herd.
It was love at first meeting for these two and they have been inseparable ever since! They are part of the Education Program and are rock stars at public events.

Age: 4-6 years
Species: Goat
Breed: Nigerian Dwarf
Favorite Things: Animal crackers and climbing on everything
Sugar, spice, and everything nice...that's what these goats are made of!
Meet the first farm greeters: Butterscotch, Tootsie Roll, Jelly Bean, Peppermint, Gum Drop, and Lollipop!
These friendly ladies come running to the fence hoping for treats and pets as soon as visitors arrive.
They will also show off their playful skills by leaping around, chasing, and headbutting each other. Break out some animal crackers and paint and they will even create custom art!
It is a joy to have such a friendly and adorable group of goat ambassadors as part of the Sanctuary Program.
