Simon

Simon was just a seven-pound baby pygmy goat when he was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn, New York. The neighborhood where he was found has several Halal "live markets," which could explain why such a small goat was in such a big, busy city. Simon was underweight, cold, alone, and scared, and was suffering from severe pneumonia, lice infestation, sore mouth, and giardia when a caring woman found him and took him to an animal shelter in New York City.

Someone at the shelter called Farm Sanctuary's New York City office, and Simon was brought to our upstate New York Shelter. He loved his new home right away, and after receiving multiple antibiotic treatments and tons of love, he fully recovered. Simon now spends his days frolicking and grazing with his two goat pals, Zoop and Juniper, in their own special barn and pasture.
