Rose’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Rose is one of three bonded Nigerian Dwarf goats who arrived after narrowly escaping an uncertain future. After their previous caregiver experienced incredibly difficult circumstances, the trio was surrendered to a farm in Tennessee. Already struggling with severe anemia, Barber Pole worms, and Coccidia, their chances of finding safety were growing smaller by the day, and they were at risk of ending up at the sale barn.
