BENNY
In 2013, Benny was sent away from his family home after he was caught eating flowers from a garden. He was separated from his only two friends when they were sent to a farm that wouldn’t accept Benny because he was male. Somehow, Benny ended up at a Greek Orthodox monastery where his fate was to either be eaten by the residents or sold at auction.

A caring stone mason who was working at the monastery intervened in Benny’s fate and reached out to us for help. We were so lucky to have the room at the time to take him in – in the last few years, Benny has truly become quite the popular goat. He’s well-known for his wavy hair and kind face, and quirky personality.
