Here at New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary, the first big snow of the year means extra chores. The goats and horses all have their woolies on, but extra hay to keep everyone warm is the order of the day. Plus a few heat lamps for the babies and seniors. Breaking the ice out of water troughs and scraping the snow and waste out of the shelters happens several times a day. Its a busy time at the goat rescue, with many people giving up their animals because of the economy. There are currently 39 foster goats waiting for their forever homes, and we are still taking in an average of 8 goats a week. This past week we took in several goats that had eaten toxic plants, and the vet bill is enormous. But our biggest expense is hay; feeding 3-4 bales per day adds up. Donations are being accepted at PayPal, via our website newmoonfarm.org. Can you help?

I have a Pygmy goat. I am willing to take one more Pygmy goat as George would like a companion. I own a private school on a farm and the kids and me take George on walks daily. The doe must enjoy kids and be very social. 425-922-9226
