On Friday, Herm & I took Maya, Noah and Sarah to the Silver Creek Animal Sanctuary located in Silverton, OR. We came to look the place over and to volunteer doing whatever they needed us to do. This place rescues goats and llamas. They also have one dog and five cats. We helped load up the Kubota then walked up the hill to the place where the 87 goats and 5 llamas spend most of their time.
One of the jobs we were asked to do was to pick up poop. Note the gloves we were provided.
Waiting for everyone to assemble so we can continue up the hill to meet the goats. The animals have free range in the 20+ acres where the grass is nice and green right now.
We all enjoyed petting the goats that would allow us to do so. Some didn't and would walk away when we approached them.
Some of the goats are very "people friendly" as Sarah discovered.
They use a Kubota to haul supplies and themselves from the storage barn up the hill to where the goats live. The two ladies in the foreground are the co-managers and are mother and daughter.
As we walked up the hill to see the goats, we saw their curious stares as we approached. They are very curious animals.
