My story

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

MEET BEN and JERRY!

They are a pair of Nigerian Dwarf crosses that are around 5 years old. They are social, very good jumpers and like most goats, will do just about anything for food. They have a nice thick winter coat and are in good body condition though their horns are growing askew and will likely need occasional trimming to make sure they are not rubbing in to the head. Any potential adopters need to be aware of their ability to easily leap over a 4 foot high obstacle and prepare your fences accordingly, though when they do escape, they are easy to round up again with the shake of a grain can. Like most herd animals, these two are bonded and we are adopting them out as a pair.

Both goats are currently up to date on all vaccinations, have been castrated and been seen by our vet team.

For more information on Ben and Jerry or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements. Also, be sure to check out our:

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is committed to matching adoptable animals with a permanent home. Our conversation-based, application-free adoption process is designed so that the needs of both the animal and the adopter are understood and compatible with one another. We require the following as part of the adoption process:
* Adopter must be 18 years of age or older
* A current government-issued ID (no student IDs)
* Have a conversation with an ARL adoption counselor
* A photo of the cage your pet will live in, if adopting a small animal or bird
