Goat Village

At our animal sanctuary in the UK, we believe every animal deserves a safe and enriching environment to thrive. 

That’s why we’ve created our Goat Village, a dedicated haven where our herd of rescued goats can play, learn, and enjoy mental and physical exercise. 

This project has been made possible thanks to the kind donations of our supporters.

Features of our Goat Village

Goats are naturally curious, energetic, and full of personality, and love nothing more than exploring and socialising with their herd.

Without proper stimulation and the right environment however, they can become bored, stressed, and even destructive. Our Goat Village provides the perfect setting for these intelligent animals to express their natural behaviours, supporting both their mental and physical health.

Climbing frames

Goats are natural climbers, with specially shaped hooves designed for balance and grip. While our goats don’t have to scale mountains for food, their love of climbing remains strong! Our purpose-built frames provide them with endless opportunities to explore and exercise.

A seesaw and swing

Playtime is essential for keeping our goats happy and healthy. Research shows that goats enjoy interactive toys, and our seesaw and swing are firm favourites. These activities help them maintain balance, agility, and mental sharpness while having loads of fun!

Log pile

The final touch to our Goat Village is a large log pile that doubles as a climbing spot and feeding area. By scattering food here, our team can carry out daily health checks while giving the goats an engaging way to forage, just like they would in the wild.

Scratching posts

When they’re not enjoying a friendly scratch from staff and visitors, our goats make good use of the scratching posts we’ve provided to tackle those tricky-to-reach spots.

Shelters

Goats are incredibly social animals that often form close friendships within their herd. Our warm, straw-filled shelters give them a snug retreat, especially during the colder months. It’s not unusual to see best buddies cuddled up together!
