Winnie arrived to Tiny Hooves Sanctuary in late summer of 2021 with her 6 other goat family members and 2 farm dog friends. They came from a very tragic situation, where their person was suffering from dementia and nobody knew right away. Unfortunately, Winnie and her friends suffered severe neglect and trauma that they are still working through today. We are very grateful for their person’s family for stepping in when they could and finding a safe space for all 7 goats and 2 dogs, as well as a safe space for their person.
Winnie is a Nubian goat that suffers from CAE, a multi system lentivirus that goats contract from their mom’s milk that can affect their bodies their entire life. We keep a close eye on Winnie to make sure we treat any flare ups she may have in her joints, as arthritis is the number one symptom.
Winnie is an absolute delight! She is soft hearted, smart as a whip, and oh so snuggly! She would rather have some sweet cuddles than eat food, which means a lot coming from a goat.
