Sunday the Goat

SUNDAY, the goat, is happy and thriving at Rikki’s Refuge now.  Sunday goat SIZED

She was found abandoned in the woods behind our Re-Tail Thrift Store. She was scared and skiddish. Our store staff set up a feeding station (finding out that she prefers grapes over EVERYTHING). They put grapes out for her daily, and wildlife cameras in order to establish her schedule.

Soon, she began to wander to a neighboring business to visit her “friends” (she was seeing her reflection in their windows). However, this was causing a distraction to drivers along the very busy road and was not safe for Sunday. Animal control was called many times, but they were never able to capture her.

Since she was looking for a friend, Re-Tail staff put a mirror in the woods so that she could see herself (thinking it was a friend) and she loved it! So, the experienced staff out at Rikki’s Refuge was called in to help and Sunday was caught safely and brought to Rikki’s where she has made new friends, both animal and human, and will be able to live out her life safely and loved.

We LOVE happy endings!!
