Hi, all! Looking forward to getting to know y'all! I came to your site in hopes of learning more about a rescue that we acquired back in August.
Dixie's arrival is a bit of a mystery! My neighbor called one day (we live in a rural area) to tell me her dog had hemmed up a goat in her car shed! To our knowledge, no one around us raises goats! My friend called all the neighbors, and no one knew a thing about her. And since I have a reputation for rescuing and releasing wildlife, my friend called me.
I drove over to my friend's house and heard Dixie crying...she was all alone in a dog pen, far away from the house. I let myself into the pen and eventually coaxed her over to me.
That was it! I was hooked! She rode home in my lap, and I put her in a large extra pen that I had. (I also raise peacocks, chickens, geese, Corgis, etc.) At the time, I also had a rescued Royal Palm turkey we named Cujo...big old sweetie...and he and Dixie had adjoining pens. They quickly became pals, too!
Long story short, she is our first goat, so we're learning as we go! Can anyone tell me what breed she is? Her picture is my profile pic.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing from you!
