I adore horses.
She gets along beautifully with dogs, pigs, and especially horses, who she bonds with strongly, and she is quicker to trust women than men.
Millie is a Boer goat. Despite her very large size, approximately 150 to 200 pounds, she enjoys running and playing.
We rescued Millie from a government-funded shelter. They believed she was pregnant at the time and about to give birth, so we directly placed her in an experienced foster home in a ranch setting for tender loving care.
Goat specialists checked on Millie though, trimmed her hooves and evaluated her condition. They unanimously concluded she is not pregnant and that the large fatty pockets on her sides are common in older goats, especially those who have been repeatedly bred.
They further reminded us to take great caution in adopting her because Boer goats are used for meat production and she may attract someone who wants to slaughter her for food or religious sacrifice.
Of course, we are absolutely dedicated to finding Millie a forever home where she is valued as a companion and family member. Over the years we have placed dozens of goats into terrific homes and we are confident we can find Millie a loving home too. Paradise for Millie will be nurturing people who have horses she can befriend too.
At this time, Millie remains in her foster home where she continues to recover wonderfully from previous neglect. (We do not know her circumstances before landing at the shelter mentioned above.) But please contact us if you would like to meet her and we can make arrangements.
