Team Wildwood is in it to win it! We’re counting on you to help us bring home the gold at the third annual Goat Games! Whatever sport you choose to do, be it running, hiking, biking or binging your favorite show, you’ll be raising much-needed funds for all the animals at Wildwood. 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! A race to save our sanctuary! 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.

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. 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! Special In-Person Event: Opening Ceremonies on Friday, August 12, 2022, from 5 PM to 10 PM at Millennial Brewing in Fort Myers, Florida – A percentage of sales from this event will be donated to our team. Stop by our booth and say hello! About Little Bear Sanctuary Little Bear Sanctuary rescues animals in need and gives them a permanent home at the sanctuary where they can live out their best lives.

It's that time again! Goat Games are on! In 2021, with your support, I took home the gold for the second year in a row! Please help me defend my title for an unprecedented three-peat!

I'll bake and sweat to help the 300 animals who call Catskill Animal Sanctuary home. I'm happy to do my part, but I need your help! If you'd rather not deal with the credit card form, you can Venmo your donation to me directly (ID: MichaelVenzor) and I'll transfer the funds to the sanctuary. Please put "Goat Games" in the "What's it for?" text area. I hope you'll be able to contribute to this effort and help me win The Goat Games again in 2022! For the past 20 years, Catskill Animal Sanctuary has been a refuge for thousands of rescued animals. Your donation will help CAS further it's mission of love and life! Please donate today!

Hi everyone! I'm running 15 miles over the 4 days of the goat games this year. That's a little more per day than last year! In return, I'm hoping to raise $1500. Yes, that's right, $100 per mile. I think we can all agree that's a very reasonable offer so please pay up! And as a bonus I offer you these cute animal pictures: 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. Founded in 2012, Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in North Carolina just 15 minutes away from the downtowns of Carrboro, Saxapahaw, and Pittsboro and 20 minutes away from downtown Chapel Hill. Our vision is to live in a world where the need for farmed animal rescue, education about the factory farm industry, and promotion of a vegan lifestyle are no longer necessary because the world is vegan and the exploitation of animals for consumption has ended.

I'm joining the Goat Games today in memory of Duncan. Duncan perhaps one of the kindest souls who ever walked this earth, crossed over in late 2021. Everyday since then, I have strived to cultivate Duncan's level of centeredness and kindness. Duncan also taught me another important lesson. When he was young, he was fit and remained very active, seemingly experiencing deep joy and gratitude as he took long walks with his brother, swam in his wallow, and napped in the sun. My Goat Games activity is emulating Duncan by staying active and enjoying every minute! Between now and the end of the Goat Games, I will walk 100 miles and I'm hoping to raise $1,500. That's $15 for each mile. Would you consider sponsoring me for one of those miles? I know I have 100 friends who can help! Please will you be one of them? Or--you can join me as an athlete! Pick an activity--it can be ANYTHING! Jumping, swimming, napping! Anything you want. Franklin needs you--will you join me? Everything you need to know about The Goat Games can be found here in the FAQs. Thanks for supporting Franklin, Indraloka and me! 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! 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!

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!

The jury is still out, but we're encouraging Ruby to reach for the stars in these Olym-pigs! Ruby arrived at Heartwood Haven unable to walk, but with a lot of love, care, and the power of sanctuary Ruby is not only walking, but she is the swimming queen and the greatest Piggygator of all time! About Heartwood Haven Heartwood Haven is located in a park-like setting in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We are on a mission to end animal cruelty against farmed animals. We primarily work with local animal control to rescue animals from cruelty and abuse cases. These animals are typically former cock-fighting roosters and pigs. Through our successful adoption program, we save hundreds of animals every year. In addition to our rescue work, we also fight for a more compassionate world through our education and advocacy programs. Your generosity and support allow us to continue fighting for the most vulnerable among us.

My name is Finnegan and I am a tiny bunny with a BIG heart, literally! That’s what my doctors said when they diagnosed me with an enlarged heart. My prognosis wasn’t good, but I have shown everyone what a determined little rabbit I am. I have defied all odds for 2.5 years and today I am a happy bundle of energy. My heart condition won’t slow me down. I run, jump and zoom around like the rest of them! Tiny bunnies like me are said to be feisty and off-standish, but not ME. I love everyone and everybun, and try to be friends with every new rescue bun that comes into our home. My mom says it’s because I have such a big heart. I share my home with five other adopted rescue rabbits. Four of them were rescued through Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue. Some came from a hoarding situation; others were dumped in a park to fend for themselves My mom Astrid volunteers for Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue, so I hear all about all the rabbits needing rescue. The need for help never ends. Neither do the bills. And these bills add up!! That’s why my mom Astrid promised to walk 2 miles a day with the goal of raising $1000. To support Astrid’s efforts, 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 $10,000 to help continue its work. It would mean the world to me!

Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue

I’m excited to share that this year I’ve decided to join Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue’s fundraising event! My first fan, Velveteen, will not be physically participating in the games but he’ll be on the bench seat carefully watching. My 11-year-old boy suffers from sore hocks and because of that I had custom socks made for him. He’s a happy boy but not as active as he was before and therefore, I will be joining the competition to help my team. My bunny Velveteen will probably be munching on hay while I continue training for the Goat Games from August 12th to August 15th. I hope many of you will consider supporting me and the rescue as I prepare to run 10 miles. It would mean so much if you help me reach my goal. Thank you!

About Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue Since 2003, Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue has provided foster home care for abandoned, abused, and neglected domestic rabbits. All rabbits are spayed/neutered, provided the best medical care available, and receive individualized attention and love of their foster families. 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.

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.

A race to save our sanctuary! 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.

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.
