Meet Peach: Pregnant Goat Hit by Car
At the end of March we were contacted about a pregnant goat who had been INTENTIONALLY hit by a car. A compassionate individual witnessed a car speed up and swerve to hit this little goat who was wandering the road she lived on. She was seriously injured and needed medical attention as soon as possible. We named this little goat Peach.

We rushed her to the animal hospital to see if she needed surgery. Rescues like this are tough — when a new rescue gets rushed to the animal hospital right away and there’s a flurry of vet activity it’s hard to be far away just waiting and hoping for news. Fortunately we now have a better picture of Peach, her health status, and the plan going forward.
Peach has a severely dislocated hip and multiple rib fractures. We thought she’d be staying at the animal hospital to receive surgery, but the doctors learned that she was much further along in her pregnancy than we thought. On their advice we brought Peach home to rest and deliver her baby before going through surgery. Although we are nervous for her we’re ready to support her through her delivery and then get her the procedure she needs.

So many people have sent support for Peach already—if you've already contributed to her rescue and care, thank you so much. This is just the beginning for Peach as she will need extensive medical care, hospitalization, and surgery, all of which will be very expensive. Please continue to support her recovery!
