Can’t decide if you want to adopt a goat or a cow? Adopt this bonded duo and you'll get both a goat and a cow in Gaston! (LeFou is definitely a goat, jury's still out about Gaston)
Gaston is a red goat (cow?) who came to us with his best buddy, LeFou and two other goats. The four of them had been surrendered by their previous family in pretty rough shape. They were both underweight and had lice and worms, but they are doing much better now!
They are both still pretty timid around people, but they are slowly warming up to our staff and Gaston is now accepting pets without needing to be paid with treats! His absolute favorite thing is to climb up on our picinic table and keep a lookout from his elevated spot.
LeFou still needs some bribery before you are allowed to pet him, but we have no doubt that they will warm up with a patient and understanding family!
These two do well with both bigger and smaller goats and would be a great addition to any herd! If you are interested in adopting them you can fill out an 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.
