Mr. Smith
Mr. Smith, a large Chinese Goose, was purchased as a baby in California and spent the early years of his life as a companion to a human. When his human companion fell ill and went into hospice care, they sought a home for him. Mr. Smith was initially rescued by a sanctuary in Virginia, where he spent his days happily bonding with a group of rescued ducks. When this sanctuary shut down in 2022 due to financial hardship, Woodstock Farm Sanctuary offered to give this older goose a home. Sanctuary is a lifelong promise, and we knew we could provide him with exceptional care. Mr. Smith adjusted to his New York accommodations quickly and has befriended many of our duck residents, as well as a few fellow geese! He is an extremely friendly goose, often climbing onto caregivers’ laps to be pet, and is very talkative. He may just have the most powerful voice of any resident!
