My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a bonded pair of adorable but tiny goats? Look no further!

Cogsworth and Lumiere came to us as owner surrenders when their family couldn’t keep them any more and surrendered them with another pair of goats.

Cogsworth is the friendliest of the group of four he came with! Even when he first arrived and was nervous around us, his sheer curiosity about people kept him coming back for pets. Now he is very confident about humans and love, though a little confused about how enthusiastic people are about him! He has enchanted many a visitor with his adorable little nose, bright eyes, and how he freezes when he gets pets.

Lumiere is still unsure about humans, but we are confident that with time and patience (and some treats!) he will be just as outgoing as his best friend!

They came to us in pretty rough shape, both underweight with lice and worms and overgrown hooves (oh my!) but they have been treated and are doing much better! Their feet are something that can only be corrected slowly over time, but they are able to walk, run and play with no issues, they just need to be trimmed more regularly than a regular goat.

These two are both under 65lbs, but are used to being around bigger goats and certainly aren’t scared of them! They are able to hold their own just fine and do great in our herd of bigger goats.

If you are interested in adopting Lumiere and Cogsworth, you can fill out an adoption application for them on our website, waywardranch.org!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
