Thank you for your interest in adopting from House of Wiggle Goats, a farm animal rescue & Sanctuary.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, PLEASE NOTE:
- We only adopt goats in pairs unless you already have other goats at home. We do occasionally adopt certain adult goats to homes as a horse companion.
- Pastures must be fully fenced on all four sides with good quality fencing. (No portable fencing.)
- Pastures must be a minimum of 1/4th of an acre area for two to three goats, which equates to 100 feet per side. The more space, the better. Housing goats in a “pen” would be similar to keeping a dog in a dog kennel its whole life. Certain breeds of goats are more appropriate if you have a smaller space. We will help you make sure you select the best goat to match your area.
- Animals must NEVER be staked out.
- Adoption fees apply. $150-$300 depending on age, breed, & gender for goats.
- Adoption Fees vary for other animals.
THE PROCESS:- To begin the evaluation process, fill out our adoption application. After
completing this application, please email photos or video of both your fencing and shelter to HouseofWiggleGoats@gmail.com, or send us a message on Facebook. Once your application and photos are reviewed, which can take up to a few days, we will contact you to discuss further. If your home looks like it will be a good fit, we will move forward with a face-to-face visit. Once scheduled, will be arranged for you to meet our adoptable critters. Please feel free to bring family members and any questions you may have.
- Once you arrive at your scheduled visit we will meet the animals together. We will go over basic care, such as feed requirements, and grooming. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them at this time.
- Now that you have meet the animals, it's time to choose! Once you have chosen, we will set up another appointment to come and pick up your new friend(s).
- Finally, we will go over the adoption contract. Any medical records will be given to you in addition to a copy of the adoption contract. Now it's time to bring your new pets home. Please bring proper transportation for everyone's safety.
*Note that the completion of this application does not guarantee the adoption of a HOWG rescued animal.
