ATTICUS
In the fall of 2015, multiple sanctuaries rescued over 120 animals from a backyard butcher in Montgomery, NY. These poor animals were kept in horrendous conditions — crammed in barns with little food and living space. Woodstock Sanctuary took in five sheep, six pigs and nine goats, who were by far the sickest of all those we rescued. Most of the goats had pneumonia, lice, and worms and little did we know, a few were also pregnant.
Stella the goat came to us from this rescue and ended up being one of the pregnant ones. On February 19th, 2016 Stella gave birth to two healthy babies, Harper and Atticus.

Atticus has been loving life in sanctuary and is one of the more playful goats – he can often be found on top of the gyms that have been set up in the pastures for goat enrichment. He has a very sweet face and personality to match.
