Have you missed us? We've been super busy here at the farm, and that means the socials fall behind. Which is why we are looking for a Social Media director! If you have experience working with social media and marketing, and would like to support the sanctuary, check out our listing at Volunteer Match! https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/opp3965328.jsp

Say hello to Wren! Or, for some of our long-time followers, say hello again. 💜 This lovely doe first arrived at NMFS in 2012, when she was about a year old. She was adopted, but her family's situation changed and she was returned four years later. Being the sweet, adorable goat that she is, she was soon adopted again. She has been living the perfect caprine life with her herd of goat and horse friends for 9 years, but sadly all of her goat buddies have passed away. Her wonderful owner didn't want her to be without other goats, but didn't want to adopt another, so reached out. At almost 15 years old Wren doesn't need any more change. She's now a part of the sanctuary herd and will stay with us for the rest of her life.
Which is just fine with us. And the babies, who follow her around like lost ducklings. 😆🐥

It looks like Sugar may have eaten the card... and she might want another...

Happy Father's Day from all of us at New Moon Farm Sanctuary! 💜

Introducing Thelma & Louise! These two does are the last goats from the Valentine herd rescue. They have been living down south with , who handled their rehabilitation, but we all thought we'd have better luck finding them a home up here. As luck would have it we have two interested parties! We'll let you know how it works out.

If you had seen these girls a few months ago you wouldn't recognize them as the healthy, beautiful, happy goats you see in these pictures. From a concerned citizen, to animal control, to a major investigation, to arrests & seizure, to HAROTC for rehabilitation, to NMFS for adoption, to a new forever home. It truly takes a village. And that includes all of you who support our work with kind words, generous donations and content sharing. 💜

More great news! Sweet baby boy Elmer and lovely little Alf were picked up yesterday by their new people, Kirsten and Trent. We've known these two for a long time and know this will be a wonderful home for them. We're especially happy that they'll have 3 donkey friends. Congratulations to Kirsten, Trent, Elmer and Alf! 💜

We had quite a scare with our Millie late Friday. Everything is fine, but it was a "call the vet" kind of evening. While doing her PM check, Ellen had a feeling she should reach down to give Millie a scratch on her chest, between her front legs and discovered a sizeable wound. After a thorough cleaning, she could see that the fresh, 4" long laceration was also very deep, through the muscle. This was absolutely an emergency vet call situation.

The wonderful Dr. Rama came out to take a look. Millie definitely punctured herself on something sizeable, likely a total fluke climbing around in the blackberry bramble. Dr. R further cleaned the area, sutured the wound, gave Millie some pain meds & antibiotics. Ellen put a "sheep tube" (that she had purchased years ago knowing it would come in handy someday 😆) on Millie to keep everything clean. She went out to the barn to check on on her every couple hours all night, and by morning Millie was fully awake and standing, ready for breakfast!

She got to rejoin the herd, and seems to be feeling ok - eating, drinking and hanging out in the sun. We think the rest of the goats are secretly jealous of her snazzy New Wave top. (It also has back leg holes, but just wouldn't fit over her belly!) We know she'll make a speedy recovery and be back to her usual antics in no time.

Thank goodness for our amazing veterinary community! 💜
