Meet and Sponsor Our Goats

Sponsor Cocoa! Rescued in 2015, Cocoa is one of our most people-friendly goats that call PRS home. Every time we take visitors on educational tours, animals are given the opportunity to come say hi or not (this is their home, they don’t owe anyone anything) and most days Cocoa is the first to rush over and say hello, especially if kids are visiting. If you’re looking for Cocoa in our goat habitat, you’ll usually find her climbing something!

Sponsor Delilah! Delilah is one of the 16 kids who was born at PRS after our big dairy goat herd cruelty seizures from early 2015 that brought 18 skinny, sickly goats (most pregnant) to PRS after state officials found them living upon more than a decade of waste, trapped up in the rafters of a barn but still being bred and used for dairy. All the babies needed special care at birth, but they all survived and happily live with their moms.

Sponsor Estelle! Estelle came to PRS along with two other goats and twenty sheep from a state cruelty and starvation case in the fall of 2020. This starvation case was one of the worst ones we have seen and everyone needed extensive rehabilitation to safely bring them up to healthy weights. Estelle is friendly with everyone but is bonded with the two other goats from her rescue, Pascal and Madeline.

Sponsor Vinny! We were asked to take Vinny from a local home where he was living on the porch at a house filled with animals and garbage. We knew we needed to get him out of that unsafe environment. Vinny is one of our most rascally and mischievous goats here, along with his best friend, Petey, who he likes to cause trouble. He has a special love for Flora the goat who he always sleeps curled up next to.

Sponsor Beatriz! Beatriz came to PRS from a state cruelty seizure when a local ‘sanctuary’ was shut down for deplorable conditions and lack of basic care. Multiple dead animals were found on site, with the survivors languishing. Given a lifetime ownership ban (rare here in Maine) the ten goats we took from this case came to PRS where they recovered and are happy and thriving. Beatriz has the best long ears!

Sponsor Madeline! Madeline came to PRS along with two other goats and twenty sheep from a state cruelty and starvation case in the fall of 2020. This starvation case was one of the worst ones we have seen and everyone needed extensive rehabilitation to safely bring them up to healthy weights. Madeline was one of the first ones in her rescue to start to open up to her caregivers. She is best friends with Pascal and Estelle.

Sponsor Pascal! Pascal came to PRS along with two other goats and twenty sheep from a state cruelty and starvation case in the fall of 2020. This starvation case was one of the worst ones we have seen and everyone needed extensive rehabilitation to safely bring them up to healthy weights. Pascal is a very curious goat who is always following his caregivers around, along with Madeline and Estelle.

Sponsor Sofia! Sofia came to PRS from a state cruelty seizure when a local ‘sanctuary’ was shut down for deplorable conditions and lack of basic care. Multiple dead animals were found on site, with the survivors languishing. Given a lifetime ownership ban (rare here in Maine) the ten goats we took from this case came to PRS where they recovered and are happy and thriving. Sofia is best friends with Tara the goat.

Sponsor Tara! Tara was found by a concerned individual with dangerous gangrenous mastitis from an active orf infection being spread by multiple infected kids nursing off her. She begged to rescue Tara but quickly realized she was in over her head. By the time we saw her, part of Tara’s udder was necrotic and rotting off her. She needed an emergency full-udder amputation and weeks of emergency, lifesaving care at Tufts.

Sponsor Tatum! Tatum is one of the 16 kids who was born at PRS after our big dairy goat herd cruelty seizures from early 2015 that brought 18 skinny, sickly goats (most pregnant) to PRS after state officials found them living upon more than a decade of waste, trapped up in the rafters of a barn but still being bred and used for dairy. All the babies needed special care at birth, but they all survived and happily live with their moms.
