Hey friends and loved ones! Please help me raise critical funds for Catskill Animal Sanctuary -- my little piece of paradise on earth and workplace for the past 13 years -- and the precious souls who call this place home. This August 12 to 15, I'll be hoofin' and mooooovin' it -- hiking around the Hudson Valley -- and I'd be so grateful for your support. No gift is too small, and all funds raised will go to the care of the sanctuary's 250+ animals! You can also join the fun by registering as an athlete yourself and getting your network to donate in your honor. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity! It means so much to me. ***About the Sanctuary: Catskill Animal Sanctuary is a 150-acre refuge in New York’s Hudson Valley for 11 species of farmed animals rescued from cruelty, neglect and other dire circumstances. In addition to emergency rescue, the Sanctuary ignites social change to end the exploitation of farmed animals, and champions vegan living through innovative educational programs.

Hello! I’m taking part in the 2022 Goat Games from Friday, August 12th through Monday, August 15th to help rescued farmed animals! The Goat Games is a virtual fundraiser for 13 animal sanctuaries across the country, and you can be a champion right where you live, work and play. This year, I've decided to raise $400 to mark 4 years since I started as an intern at CAS during college! 4 is truly the magic number this year - I pledge to attend 4 spin classes over the 4 days of the Goat Games. You can find me at The Revolution spin studio in Albany working hard to help support the animals! Thank you so much for considering a donation. The Goat Games are an excellent way to get everyone involved for the animals, and I am thrilled to be participating again!

We are BFF team Miss Lily Pie and Dominic and we are in it to win it! We're going to be swimming all day, every day leading up to The Goat Games, 'cause it's our favorite thing to do! Not only is swimming fun, but it keeps us nice and cool during the summer! Did you know we love mud because it's just like sunscreen for us? No sunburn happening here! We've been best friends since the day we met at Indraloka, many years ago. We spend almost all of our time together, whether we are swimming, napping, or snacking! If you see one of us, chances are the other one isn't too far away! We watched Mira have so much fun as the Goat Games team captain last year so we knew we just had to get involved!

The sanctuary provides "heaven on earth" for farm animals that have nowhere else to turn. Our mission is to inform, inspire and empower the community, especially children, on ways in which we can better care for ourselves and the environment while helping animals in need. We advocate for a kind and compassionate lifestyle that protects animals, the earth, and our own health. By participating in the Goat Games you are helping not only the hundreds of rescued farm animals and all who love and care for them, but the thousands of humans who visit them every year! Through our innovative education programs, humans of all ages have the chance to embrace compassion and fall in love with animals like Franklin, our 2022 Goat Games Captain. Franklin was found alone on a busy highway on New Year's Eve. When he was brought to Indraloka, his complete terror of humans kept him on high alert. He wouldn't even lay down to sleep and shook with fright whenever anyone was close. He was weak, fighting pneumonia and a double eye infection that was so severe, it temporarily blinded him. But after just days in the care of our staff, surrounded by love and gentle hands, Franklin's fear lessened and then disappeared completely. Now, he spends his days with 2 new friends, Oreo and Oliver, running in the pastures and playing with no cares at all. His mischievous personality keeps us all on our toes but he loves hugs and snuggles from visitors. By joining Team Indraloka, you have the opportunity to help goats like Franklin and his many friends of all species. Here’s how it works: Register as an athlete for Team Indraloka and commit to run, walk, hike, bike, swim, or do an activity of your choice, anytime between Friday, August 12 through Monday, August 15, 2022. Share your support with friends and family to raise funds for Indraloka. Donate to Indraloka! You can make a general donation to our Goat Games page or find an athlete to support. Either way, you’re making a difference for Franklin and his friends. However you choose to support the Goat Games, please know that your generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your commitment to the animals!

The jury is still out, but we're encouraging Ruby to reach for the stars in these Olym-pigs!

About Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue Since 2003, Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue has provided foster home care for abandoned, abused, and neglected domestic rabbits.

Those rabbits who are not eligible for adoption, either due to health, age or temperament remain with us as sanctuary bunnies. Safe Haven continues to develop our foster homes, educational programs, and outreach programs as a means of providing and promoting the best care for rabbits and to inspire action for this often misunderstood and too often abandoned species.

My name is Mazor Ner Tamid, or Mazzie for short! You may have seen me around Indraloka, hanging out with my best friend, Chandra. I wasn't sure that I could join the Goat Games, but with his encouragement, I decided to sign up! You see, my back leg doesn't work too well. When I was little, I wasn't looked after very well, but I was rescued and brought to Indraloka with a few other friends. However, something hurt my spine really bad, and I wasn't able to walk on one of my back legs. The nice people at the sanctuary though, they never gave up on me! They got me a wheelchair and helped me learn how to walk again! My back leg still doesn't work well, but I've learned to get around just fine with only three legs! I didn't know what kind of activity I could do for the Goat Games since I have trouble walking sometimes, but walking IS the perfect activity for me! I wanted to join to help encourage everyone else that, even if you can't do physical activities like bike riding or running, you can still be a Goat Games athlete! So, that's what I'm doing! I hope I can inspire someone who didn't think they could join to sign up to do an activity that's perfect for them! I have a goal to raise $400 for the Goat Games, and I know I can do it! I need your help, though! Will you join my team to help me reach my goal and remind others with mobility challenges that they can do ANYTHING they set their mind to?

Our mission is to inform, inspire and empower the community, especially children, on ways in which we can better care for ourselves and the environment while helping animals in need. We advocate for a kind and compassionate lifestyle that protects animals, the earth, and our own health. By participating in the Goat Games you are helping not only the hundreds of rescued farm animals and all who love and care for them, but the thousands of humans who visit them every year! Through our innovative education programs, humans of all ages have the chance to embrace compassion and fall in love with animals like Franklin, our 2022 Goat Games Captain. Franklin was found alone on a busy highway on New Year's Eve. When he was brought to Indraloka, his complete terror of humans kept him on high alert. He wouldn't even lay down to sleep and shook with fright whenever anyone was close. He was weak, fighting pneumonia and a double eye infection that was so severe, it temporarily blinded him. But after just days in the care of our staff, surrounded by love and gentle hands, Franklin's fear lessened and then disappeared completely. Now, he spends his days with 2 new friends, Oreo and Oliver, running in the pastures and playing with no cares at all. His mischievous personality keeps us all on our toes but he loves hugs and snuggles from visitors. By joining Team Indraloka, you have the opportunity to help goats like Franklin and his many friends of all species. Here’s how it works: Register as an athlete for Team Indraloka and commit to run, walk, hike, bike, swim, or do an activity of your choice, anytime between Friday, August 12 through Monday, August 15, 2022. Share your support with friends and family to raise funds for Indraloka. Donate to Indraloka! You can make a general donation to our Goat Games page or find an athlete to support. Either way, you’re making a difference for Franklin and his friends. However you choose to support the Goat Games, please know that your generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your commitment to the animals!

Meet Team Captain Toby! Toby’s wavy locks and sweet personality charm everyone who meets him. He and his companion Frosty moved to the sanctuary when their person passed away in the Fall of 2021.

For more than 25 years, River's Wish has been saving lives through rescue, education and advocacy. By treating animals as individuals and expressing both their wonder and plight through art, we foster empathy and understanding that leads to compassionate life choices. With Goat Games, we are raising money for our future, right alongside Captain Toby and all his friends at River's Wish. Will YOU go for the gold as we strive to raise $20,000 for the care and feeding of our residents?

Hi! I am Choco, I was rescued in Baltimore Maryland and moved with my mom Yumi to NJ. Back then, I had a boyfriend named Usachu. Sadly he passed away a few years ago (he was almost 16 years old!). Now I have new friends who love to feed me; Kotaro and Sana. They know that I do not like to be held and only accept gentle head strokes, even at the age of 2 and 7! I love chewing wood and cardboard, running and hiding in a tunnel. During the Goat game, Yumi will walk or run 5000 steps or 30 minutes every day to raise funds for the Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue team, following our Team Captain Rocky! To support us and raise our goal of $5000, just click on the “Support by Donating” button on our page! That will help us BRING HOME THE GOLD for Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue! This is Safe Haven's first year with the Goat Games, and we are excited to join in the fun! We hope YOU will JOIN US as we strive to help Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue raise $5,000 to help continue its work. Help Team Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue take home the gold!

Led by Team Captain Ponty, help Team Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge and take home the gold! Join as an athlete who raises money OR you can carry the torch as a donor. Either way, YOU are a champion for the animals! Be sure to spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers so they can get in on the fun!

You can help encourage others by printing our team bib, posting on social media with the #TheGoatGames2022, and showing all the fun and creative ways that you’re going for the gold! Ponty came to us after being abandoned and trying to survive in a mobile home in rural North Carolina that was collapsing around him. Even though he is one of our tallest goats, he came to us over 40 pounds underweight, starving and scared with little trust for humans. Today, he is thriving at the Refuge -- he is the largest goat in his herd and is a favorite among Tour guests. The Refuge provides lifelong care to rescued farm animals, educates people about the realities of animal agriculture, and promotes veganism by offering knowledge, support, and community. Founded in 2012, the Refuge has been providing lifelong homes for rescued farm animals for 10 years and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in central North Carolina. We are thrilled to participate in the 2022 Goat Games as we are currently raising funds for general use in support of our recent expansion and future animal rescues! At the beginning of 2021, we were presented with the exciting opportunity to purchase an adjacent lot that has more than doubled our size, from 20 to 45 acres! We have various projects planned for this new land, such as building a perimeter fence, removing and/or restoring the existing structures on the property and making the area suitable for rescued farmed animals. These funds will be vital to beginning these projects and ultimately, completing these goals. Ponty was severely malnourished and lived in a dilapidated shack in the woods before he was rescued. Your donations will also help support food and medical care for current and future animal residents, including new cow rescues! We currently spend over $6000/month on food and veterinary expenses alone for our chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, sheep and goats, so these contributions will also go a long way in helping us continue to provide lifelong homes for animals in need. Thank you so much for your contribution. Your support of our life-saving mission is vital. We are so grateful to have you with us on this journey to make the world a more loving and compassionate place for all beings! "Ponty's Journey"by Shannon Ducrest, Lead Animal Caregiver In an old trailer, Back in the woods, Ponty the goat did stay. Scared and alone, His tummy did groan, Hungrier every day.
