What We Do
Shepherd’s Rest Goat and Sheep Rescue provides sanctuary for the goats and sheep of people who are terminally ill, disabled or going into a nursing home and can no longer care for their animals. We also provide sanctuary for animals that are victims of abuse and neglect. We provide animal assisted therapy with a focus on patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Additionally we provide educational and goat yoga programming for all ages.
Interesting Info

- In 2023 we have already hosted over 700 visitors to our historic Gage county property
