Hopie
Hopie is truly a miracle goat and was our first rescue as Little Buckets in July 2018. She was posted on Lawson's Heart who used to post animals who are in need of help and often are special needs goats. Hopie was in Maryland and because of a special family who helped transport her to us, we were able to save her life. She was barely alive when we took her straight to the vet. She could not walk, she had lost her voice and was truly fighting for her life. But you could see she wasn't ready to give up and so I certainly was not going to give up on her. I syringed fed her water and luckily she did want to eat. After just a few weeks, she started to want to stand, then we were able to get her a cart to get her upright. But before long she started to move her legs and started taking steps and before you knew it, she was running in her cart. Soon after, she stood on her own and began the process of taking small steps and then walking on her own and then running on her own. She started to run and frolic around the farm and has never turned back. She loves life and enjoys every day of her life. When you see her in the field today, you would never know her story. Hopie is so sweet, loves to come say hi and bunks at night with Charlie and Pete.
Hopie's story was so compelling she was featured on The Dodo (you can watch below) and USA Today as well as her picture was on the Rachel Ray Show. She is a star!! :) Our video below is before I knew a lot of video editing skills so bare with it. :)
We don't know Hopie's birthday.
Hopie is extremely lucky to have a very special Sponsor Dad.
