Specific Need
Ruby Slipper Goat Rescue has a specific need this year for two prosthetics for Pixie. Pixie was rescued in May 2022. Her back legs had been eaten off by rats prior to her rescue. This past year she has thrived and is a professional at using her wheelchair to get around. She can't be in her wheelchair for long periods. Getting prosthetics will help to keep the stumps of her back legs from have pressure on the ground and will give her a more normal walking pattern.
Any additional funds raised beyond the need for Pixie's prosthetics will be put towards the care and emergency veterinary expenses for current and future rescued goats.
