New Arrivals – The Baby Goat Gang

By Chris R.


Summer of 2020 has been super busy for new arrivals. With over twenty new animals in just four weeks, the PVAS team has been flat out on rescue and veterinary missions.


The Baby Goat Gang were among this wave of new arrivals, being impounded after escaping a semi-rural block south of Perth. No owner came forward to claim the tiny goat family and we were contacted to take them to a safe place.  



Nanny, her two kids Elf and Latte, buck Angelo and tiny Tinkerbelle, were excited to arrive in the Valley and despite the heat, took to adventuring in their new quarantine paddock immediately once the horse float was opened.  



Shy at first, the group soon discovered the importance of the hay cart and Weetbix box and are already calling expectantly at dinner time! 

Given the close bond between the five tiny caprines, we have decided that the family will be staying together, although Angelo is scheduled for castration as soon as his vaccinations are up to date.  

We are uncertain of the whereabouts of tiny Tink’s mother, although she appears to be coping fine with her extended goat and human family.


We are so happy that we could give the Baby Goat Gang a new start in the Valley of Hope, all made possible by our generous supporters – be sure to stay tuned for news of their Sanctuary adventures!
