Christine
In the late summer of 2023, our Woodstock Farm Sanctuary welcomed a new resident into our loving care. Her name is Christine, a boer goat with a heartwarming story of resilience and compassion.
Hailing from Morris, NY, Christine's journey to sanctuary began in August. At approximately 8 or 9 years old, she had spent her life in solitude, confined to a shed, and was in danger of being attacked by the dogs that roamed the property. For years, she had been without a companion, her only solace being memories of a dear friend who had passed away several years ago.

Christine's hooves were severely overgrown and we knew that Christine needed a safe haven where she would receive the care, respect, and sanctuary she deserved. In a touching twist of fate, Christine's story took a heartwarming turn when she was voluntarily surrendered to a neighbor who runs a dog rescue. The owner, a compassionate soul with a deep love for animals, took Christine home to Woodstock Sanctuary.
Christine's name carries a special significance, paying tribute to our long-time and dedicated volunteer, Chris. It is a name that symbolizes the spirit of our sanctuary and the unwavering dedication of our community to the welfare of all farmed animals.

As Christine finds her place within the sanctuary family, we are committed to providing her with the care and support she needs to thrive. Her story reminds us of the importance of compassion, and how it can transform the lives of animals like Christine, who will be seen as the unique and precious individuals they are.
