I absolutely love this picture of Autumn allowing me to snuggle her. Her life was not a happy, safe or valued one for quite some time. Along with a few amazing people, we were able to get Autumn and the 37 other goats and sheep in her herd to homes where they are valued and loved and no longer have to live in fear. With the help of Farm Sanctuary, Autumn, Sadie and their babies all live together at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary! My heart could not be happier. This is not the case for all animals. Please join my team for the goat games as we raise money to help more beautiful animals find their own loving homes where they’ll be valued for the amazing beings they are. Thank you!!!

Founded in 1986, we’ve provided refuge for thousands of animals and have educated millions of people each year about just, compassionate vegan living. Meet Team Captain Josie Mae aka “The Resilient.” Josie-Mae was born at a goat dairy farm. Due to an accident, her owner decided that she would never be "useful" there. That turned out to be just her luck! Josie-Mae and her mom, Willow, now live at Farm Sanctuary's New York shelter. Josie-Mae is a peppy and friendly goat, and her prosthetics help her explore and play to her heart’s delight! After a day of action, she loves spending some downtime cuddling with her mom. Sign up today with any activity of your choice to spread awareness and support animals like Josie-Mae! Like all animals, Josie-Mae deserves a chance at happiness.

I'm so excited to join The Goat Games this year with the help of my pal, Ramona! I plan to bike 10 miles during the Goat Games to raise funds and be a champion for the animals! I'm taking part in The Goat Games because I have seen firsthand what love and compassion can do for an animal in need. I have worked at Indraloka for just over a year, and I saw just how sick and scared little Franklin was when he was first rescued. Hearing updates from my team members caring for him left me so excited for his future! While he came to Indraloka a sick and scared little goat, he quickly learned to trust the humans around him and became a funny, mischievous guy! I loved hearing about his antics while in quarantine and about the moments he bonded with staff. In just a few months' time, he was flourishing and I couldn't believe that he was the same goat that came to us on New Year's Eve! I am SO grateful that I have been able to watch Captain Franklin's transformation firsthand, and now, I'm doing my part to become a champion for animals everywhere, so that they can also receive the love, care, and compassion that Franklin has come to know. Will you join me in reaching my goal of $500 for Team Indraloka? Wear Your Team Show your support for Indraloka Animal Sanctuary by repping our official Goat Games team shirt! 100% of all proceeds go directly to our sanctuary! From t-shirts, to hoodies, tank tops, long-sleeves, football jerseys and more! Choose your color and get your team shirt today. Thank you for joining Team Indraloka! 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!

Shrek was our good luck leader for 2021 so we're going to stick with him as our boss goat for the Goat Games 2022. Shrek is the leader of our goat family of twelve. Even though he's the smallest (pygmy), he has the biggest personality. He's the first to greet visitors and demands attention, i.e. endless rubs and kisses! We rescued him right here in SW Florida and he has been an inspiration to everyone who meets him. He embodies the mission of our sanctuary - acceptance, love, and endless snuggles. If you can run, walk, jog, or swim you can join us for the fun -- either with friends and family, or on your own in your backyard or take to the streets - this is a fun way to get outside and have fun while helping raise money for this important fundraiser. It doesn't stop there! You can walk your dog, pick up trash, eat bonbons on your couch, or do anything creative you come up with. As we start our 5th year Little Bear Sanctuary has rescued over 200 farm animals, each one facing an incredibly bleak future if we hadn't intervened. While a lot has changed from the start, Little Bear Sanctuary's mission has remained unwavering: to provide a permanent home for animals in need where they can live their best lives. The funds for this year's Goat Games will be used for the major increase in the monthly overhead required to operate, feed, and house our 200 residents. We're excited for another fun year, and we can’t wait to see the amazing things our athletes and donors will do! Love and gratitude from all of us at Little Bear Sanctuary!

Grandma’s Kitchen, an all vegan cafe and bakery located in Montour Falls, New York will be raising money for Team Farm Sanctuary in this year’s Goat Games! Stop in the cafe on Thursday, August 11 from 10-2 or Friday, August 12 from 4-7 and purchase a Goat Games-themed cupcake! 100% of proceeds from our Goat Games-themed cupcakes will go to support Team Farm Sanctuary! Farm Sanctuary was founded in 1986 to combat the abuses of factory farming, advocate for institutional reforms, and encourage a new awareness and understanding of farm animals and the benefits of cruelty-free, plant-based living. In recent years, science has confirmed the inhumane and destructive impact of animal agriculture — a food system based on interrelated oppression and injustice. As the founding farm animal Sanctuary in the U.S., Farm Sanctuary has rescued and provided refuge for countless survivors of the animal agriculture system. Today, at Farm Sanctuary’s Los Angeles, CA and Watkins Glen, NY Sanctuaries you will find nearly 1,000 rescued animals—each with an individual story to tell. These survivors are ambassadors, representing the billions of farm animals currently in the system. They, and others like them, have changed the hearts and minds of a generation.

This year's Goat Games is hugely important to Wildwood! We have to move from our current location and need funding to purchase or lease a new property. If we're able to secure a new home for our beloved animals, we'll consider that the biggest win of all. If we can't, your support will help us move our animals safely to new sanctuaries where they'll continue to be loved and cared for. Either way, we're counting on you to help us get through this enormous challenge! Now, onto the fun... Our 2022 team captain, Orin, is both an athlete and an inspiring leader. At 14 years of age, he's definitely the senior team captain of our goat herd here at Wildwood. He keeps everyone in line! He has the sweetest personality and is still very agile! He is taking his new job very seriously and demanding excellence from the team – no ifs, ands or buts about it. Well, maybe a few butts. Most of the animals at Wildwood had a pretty rough start in life. Many were rescued from factory farms, terrible abuse and neglect. Now, surrounded by love and good friends, they are free to be their sweet, sensitive, silly selves. Nothing makes the humans here happier than to see them engage in shenanigans and hijinks. About Wildwood Farm Sanctuary & Preserve Wildwood Farm Sanctuary & Preserve is an accredited, 501c3 farm animal sanctuary currently located in Newberg, Oregon. Since 2012, we have provided a safe haven for abused and abandoned farmed animals. We are looking for a new property to continue our mission of promoting compassion and inspiring change.

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. I’ll be mooooo-ving to raise money for my favorite sanctuary and I’m asking for the support of friends and family to help me reach my goal! You can help me get the GOLD for animals by sending a gift through the “Support by Donating” button on this page. No contribution is too small, and every dollar you give will go towards providing safety, dignity, and love to farmed animals in need. Thank you for your kindness and generosity — and for making the world a more compassionate place for animals!

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! Everything you need to know about The Goat Games can be found here in the FAQs. We’re all in this together as a team! 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. Until a nice man learned of his plight And took quick action to make things right You need a place with friends, safety, and food I know; Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge! About Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge Piedmont Farm Animal 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.

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!

Founded in 1986, we’ve provided refuge for thousands of animals and have educated millions of people each year about just, compassionate vegan living. Meet Team Captain Josie Mae aka “The Resilient.” Josie-Mae was born at a goat dairy farm. Due to an accident, her owner decided that she would never be "useful" there. That turned out to be just her luck! Josie-Mae and her mom, Willow, now live at Farm Sanctuary's New York shelter. Josie-Mae is a peppy and friendly goat, and her prosthetics help her explore and play to her heart’s delight! After a day of action, she loves spending some downtime cuddling with her mom. Sign up today with any activity of your choice to spread awareness and support animals like Josie-Mae! Like all animals, Josie-Mae deserves a chance at happiness. By participating in the Goat Games, you are helping make that a reality.
