Jackson (goat) Arrived 27th June 2017 On the 26th of June we received a phone call from a young man claiming to have found an infant goat wandering the streets. Worried that the kid may be hungry and well overdue for a feed, we had one of our volunteers rush to pick him up and bring him to the sanctuary to be fed and assessed.

Cuddles (goat) Arrived 21 April 2017 In April 2017 we received a phone call from an animal pound. A little goat had been discovered homeless and wandering around on someone’s property.

Jasper (goat) Arrived: 20 January 2017 Jasper was a wild goat discovered in bushlands, with no mother in sight. Luckily for him, he was discovered and brought to Happy Hooves by some compassionate people. At just four weeks old, Jasper needed to be bottle fed three times a day. Paul (HH Manager) had the honorary duty of being “goat mum”, and Jasper refused to be fed by anybody other than him. Jasper has grown so much since he arrived, but is still a big sook! He is now down to just one bottle in the evening,…
