Ruby Slipper Goat Rescue

Goal: $10,000.00

Specific Need

Your generous support of the handicapped goats during the match day fundraisers the past three years has changed many lives. You have not only helped to change the world for these special goats, but you have helped many people who find their stories of survival to be inspiring and helpful in their own journeys and difficulties in life.

Ruby Slipper Goat Rescue has a need in 2024 to raise funds for updates on the current special needs goats wheelchair carts. Also, Betty, who is a little goat that was rescued in Novemeber 2023, has some ongoing needs for veterinary care due to a bone infection in her femur. She may need surgery in the future and may need a custom made brace for her good leg to support her. The rescue also has a goal to have electricity and a water hydrant run to the special needs goat barn area. Improved security cameras in the special needs goat area are also needed.  Any additional funds raised will go towards the handicapped goats veterinary fund, medications, feed, hay, and bedding for the rescued goats.

Thank you so much for your support!
