Rescue. Empower.
Educate. Inspire.
We believe in a world where compassion leads the way for animals, people, and the earth we all share. We rescue farm animals in need, educate on the impact of our choices, and empower people to live more sustainably through connection, community, and seriously good plant-based food.
WELCOME TO GOATLANDIA SANCTUARY
We Have a Big Heart & Even Bigger Mission
Goatlandia is a farm animal sanctuary with a big heart and an even bigger mission: to rescue animals, inspire compassion, help our planet, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. Every animal on the farm has a story, one of resilience, love, and second chances. Here, goats frolick happily, pigs bask in the sun, and chickens scratch around like they own the place (because, well, they kind of do).
But the sanctuary isn’t just for the animals, it’s for you too! Spending time here is healing, uplifting, and a chance to reconnect with nature. Whether you’re meeting our rescues for some incredible animal therapy, joining us for a tour and picnic, enjoying some seriously good plant-based eats, there’s something for everyone on the farm.
Help Us Build a Bigger, Brighter Future for Goatlandia in 2025!
Building these safe spaces and our Welcome Center requires significant resources. With your help, we can create a sanctuary that continues to change lives for animals and for people, while supporting the planet that we all share. Help us finish the sanctuary in 2025! Your donations will help us:
Build Safe, Comfortable Spaces for our Animals
From goats and pigs to chickens, sheep, horses, and even cats, every rescued animal deserves a warm, safe home. Your support helps us provide spacious barns, cozy shelters, and nourishing environments where they can heal, play, and live peacefully.
Build a Visitor Center to Inspire Action and Compassion
Our vision is to build a welcoming space for education, events, and hands-on experiences, where visitors can learn about farm animal rescue, sustainability, and how to make a difference.
Expand Our Support for Animals, People, and the Planet
Increasing our capacity to rescue more animals, provide essential care, and expand community programs that support both animals and people—through compassionate living, plant-based education, and therapeutic experiences that promote healing and connection.

Every act of kindness makes a difference. Join us, and be part of the change.

"I love being with the animals and learning how to care for them; seeing a new rescue start to sparkle; understanding more and more how to live a compassionate lifestyle; and making wonderful friends both human and animal. I am so grateful for Goatlandia."
— Ariane Peixoto, Goatlandia Volunteer
Our Small But Mighty Team
We don’t have a big staff, fancy titles, or corporate offices—but what we do have is heart, dedication, and a whole lot of hustle. We’re a grassroots team that wears many hats (sometimes literally, depending on the weather), and we believe in rolling up our sleeves to get things done.
With smart minds, big hearts, and a shared love for animals, we do whatever it takes to keep our sanctuary thriving—because every life we save makes it all worth it.
Help Us Save More Baby Goats Like Alexander!
Every year, from January through September, we rescue baby goats and lambs who are discarded by dairy farms simply because they’re male and can’t produce milk. Without intervention, these babies face a heartbreaking fate. To date, we’ve rescued over 90 newborns, giving them the love, care, and second chances they deserve. Alexander was found in San Francisco, walking on a leash with an inebriated person. A kindhearted stranger recognized that he was just a baby in desperate need of proper food and shelter. She stepped in, “bought” him on the spot, and brought him to safety at Goatlandia. Now, Alexander is thriving—but there are so many more like him who need our help. Donate or become a monthly member and help us save more babies like Alexander!
