about puget sound goat rescue

Percent of donations

 

Puget Sound Goat Rescue is a 100% volunteer run, 501 (c)(3) registered charity. Each year, we rescue goats from a variety of situations where they are unwanted, mistreated, neglected or abused. The goats are cared for at the rescue until they are ready to be adopted to permanent, loving homes. Since its inception in 2001 we have rescued over 1,900 goats, averaging 200 per year in the last few years. Please note, because we are focused on helping the animals in our care, we are not open to the public for visits.

100% of donations go directly to animal care.

Adoptable goats

Helping goats in need

In addition to rescuing goats from local slaughterhouses and taking in dozens of dairy & breeder cull babies every year, Puget Sound Goat Rescue takes in goats whose owners are no longer able to care for them, as well as goats found wandering as strays. 

every donation counts

100% of all donations go directly to the care of the goats we rescue. This includes the basics like feed and bedding, as well as veterinary care for goats with special needs.

We’ve updated our Amazon Wish List with some much needed items for our seniors. Jubilee & all of our beautiful Golden Girls as well as little Old Man Sherpa need increased supplemental feeding through the winter so Tractor Supply gift cards will help us stock up on grain and supplements for our beloved seniors. We also could use some more Probios as Sherpa is using the last of what we have this week. We’ve also added some fun new items! The Lamancha crew at BGC broke their favorite tambourines so we found some we think are Lamancha proof and would love some so Nitro stops using the gate latches in place of his favorite musical instrument (swipe left 🙉) One of our adopters turned us on to some sleeping cots that her goats and sheep absolutely love so we’d like to get some large ones for our herds and some medium ones for the baby stalls for the babies who will be arriving in just a few short months. Link to shop our Amazon Wish List is in our profile and don’t forget to shop via Amazon Smile with PSGR as your charity of choice for an even bigger gift back to the goats. Thank you! ❤️ #wishlist #amazonsmile #shopforacause #rescuegoats #goldengirls
Marlowe, Nora's first born, her sweet, sensitive mama's girl. Last week I noticed Marlowe was "off." Noticing when goats are "off" can someday save their life. I am overly observant (aka paranoid) and notice every little thing. Marlowe indeed had a low grade fever that day which I treated but I remained worried & kept a close eye on her. Over the weekend she spiked a high fever, she was trying so hard to hide it but I picked up on the subtle signs and treated her throughout the weekend, finally getting her fever down & we gave her some meds to get ahead of anything more serious. Today, much to my relief, she was more herself than she has been in a week, Marlowe is back on track. BGC has been a bit of a medical ward lately. I feel like a chef & a nurse in addition to a caretaker. The whiteboard in the hay room here is full. Full of recipes for Sherpa, notes about what foods he likes or dislikes at the moment. Full of test results, daily meds & treatment schedules for Marlowe, Ruby & Nicky. The shelves & fridge are full of various fruits, vegetables, juices & baby foods. But today, today was a good day. Marlowe is feeling much better. Sherpa had enough energy to play with his newfound friends and herd the big goats around with his awesome set of horns. Ruby is showing positive signs since her treatments and Nicky, well, more on him later but good test results this evening will have me sleeping better tonight. Just as I erased Marlowe off the watch list tonight, I added two more to it. Nothing serious but things to keep an eye on. There is no slow season for us. It truly never ends. It's always something. At BGC right now, it's a lot of somethings all at once. But today was a good day. The sun was shining, there was a warm breeze and the goats were happy. So happy. They played, they napped in the maple leaf pile, ate pumpkins and got lots of snuggles. I let go of the worry and just let it be. They're all doing just fine at the moment, we're doing all we can, as always, to do the very best for all of them and at the end of the day, that's all we can ask for and all we can do. Today was a good day ❤️ #rescuelife
