Fearless goat fights to walk again
A miracle goat named Hopie now has an amazing rescue story to share with the world. Hopie was found by Lawson's Heart, a goat rescue group that helps special needs goats and other farm animals find their forever homes. Hopie was attacked by another animal and sustained internal injuries. Her veterinarian wasn’t sure Hopie would survive.
Susan, owner and operator of Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary, saw a post about Hopie and knew she had to help. Despite just relocating the farm, Susan drove hundreds of miles to pick up Hopie and give her a forever home. The road to recovery was extremely difficult. Susan had to give Hopie medicine through a syringe around the clock for several weeks.
The determined goat wouldn’t give up and continued to get stronger. Thanks to a donation, Hopie was given a harness and was able to be upright. Then something amazing happened: she started to walk on her own, and eventually started to run. Now nothing slows Hopie down.
