Jeffrey, rescued from a goat dairy farm, can rest easy knowing that for the rest of his life he will never be exploited, commodified, or mistreated.
Belle, the Sweetheart
Belle came from a small, family-owned goat dairy farm, which had milked her past the point at which her child would naturally wean. As a result, Belle arrived to Animal Place this past April with an udder so full of milk that she was uncomfortable.
Remember: #NotYourMomNotYourMilk. Ditch dairy for the sake of individuals like Belle.

Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to do our life-saving work.
Verna suffered from an extremely difficult and painful labor when she was about a year old. She was being exploited for weed abatement along with a herd of other intact male and female goats, and she was was left struggling in labor for 18 hours without any medical attention. The farmer was willing to pay for someone to shoot Verna, but not save her.
Fortunately, a compassionate neighbor stepped in and contacted us. Verna underwent a C-section, but her baby sadly did not survive.
Show Verna your love by sponsoring her today at http://animalplace.org/donate-sponsor-an-animal/!

Born at our sanctuary, Noah has only ever known compassion from humans. In 2012, his mother, Ellen, was rescued from a slaughterhouse and was so pregnant that she gave birth to Noah and his brother Cornelius (RIP) soon after arriving at Animal Place. Ellen sadly has passed away since then, but Noah seems happy with his other goat friends. Noah is most definitely the most social goat at our sanctuary and is very demanding when he wants attention and back scratches!
Like all animals, Belle (left) and Opal (right) are so clearly #friendsnotfood.
Jeffrey was born on a goat dairy farm and was separated from his mother so that humans could steal her milk. Like other male kids in the goat dairy industry, as well as male calves in the cow dairy industry, Jeffrey would have been “disposed of” soon after birth or raised and killed for his flesh if he had not been rescued in 2007.
Annie!
Annie’s fate turned around in the nick of time when she was confiscated by animal control from a slaughterhouse that allowed customers to choose the nonhuman individual(s) they would like killed for them. Annie came to Animal Place in 2008 with 5 other goats and 3 sheep from that same rescue.
Never again will her worth be reduced to her flesh.
Espresso is such a love. Unfortunately, before coming to Animal Place in April, Espresso was exploited on a small goat dairy farm for the milk she produced after each time she gave birth.
The market for goat dairy may be growing, but the goat dairy industry is no less cruel or heartbreaking than the cow dairy industry.
Want healthier, kinder milk? Choose plant-based, always. #NotYourMomNotYourMilk

Lovely Lola
Adoptable goat Lola (vegan) “cheezing” for the camera. Lola is a sweetheart to humans who have earned her trust and is looking for a forever home with her goat friend Louie.
Louie is Perfect
Adoptable baby goat Louie’s curiosity and enthusiasm for life and exploring the world around him are obvious reminders he is an emotional, curious being...no different than a companion dog or cat.
Baby Louie!

Even baby goats need fashionable protection from the sun, right?
