Amber’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Amber is one of three bonded Nigerian Dwarf goats who found safety here alongside her lifelong companions. Before arriving here, their future was heartbreakingly uncertain. After their previous caregiver faced incredibly difficult circumstances, the trio was surrendered to a farm in Tennessee while battling severe anemia, Barber Pole worms, and Coccidia. Without rescue placement, they were at risk of ending up at the sale barn.
