After the Animal Legal Defense Fund secured a court order to remove all animals from the property, Farm Sanctuary partners arrived at the heartbreaking scene. The rescuers found 113 animals in crowded wire cages, with only a children’s pool filled with green sludge for water. Thankfully, all found caring homes—including heroic Hercules and 30 others who came to Farm Sanctuary.

Today, life looks very different for Hercules, who’s quite the character. He’s a playful and lovably silly goat whose adorable face makes everyone smile! He’ll plant both front feet on your chest as you give out treats and even hide as you feed his friends who need supplements—to try to sneak a few bites! At night, Hercules settles down, snuggling into the middle of his herd next to friends three times his size. But when it comes to personality, Hercules is a giant!
