RAYMOND
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.
Raymond was born with his sister Hallie in sanctuary after their mother Tovah came to us from this rescue pregnant. Hallie and Raymond were the first pair of the 10 baby goats from the backyard butcher case! Raymond loves to meet people and can often be found waiting by the fence to say hello!

Hallie unfortunately passed away in December of 2024 and will be missed by her family.
