Adele is one of the six goats and two sheep Animal Place took in from a slaughterhouse in Watsonville. She was pregnant and recently gave birth to two healthy kids, a boy and girl. They spend their days climbing the other goats, pretending they can eat hay and keeping a close eye on Adele (lest she try and make off with their milk). Kids are exuberant bundles of energy, making life very interesting at the sanctuary. baby goat boy

While we are overjoyed at these two new additions, we are saddened to report that one of the other goats, Winnie, was humanely euthanized due to a severe lung and joint infection that caused immense pain. We can only imagine how much suffering she endured for many years before ending up at the slaughterhouse. At the sanctuary, she knew only love, was given only the best food, and was surrounded by her caregivers as she peacefully took her last breath.
