At Dancing Goat Sanctuary we have a large variety of domesticated or feral (okay, not for long!) animals. In order to provide for their needs we work with both small animal and large animal veterinarians who make routine visits to the farm to provide vaccinations, examinations, and, when needed, urgent medical care. We follow up with routine stuff such as parasite control, hoof and nail trimming, and grooming, depending on the needs of each critter. We are fortunate to have volunteers. as well as our farm founders, who are responsible for the day to day care of all of the critters. Our in house head goat wrangler takes care of any specialized animal care.
All of our animals are fed a species appropriate, high quality diet including forage and fresh water, given time to play with people and/or each other, and special treats and snacks. Click on the photo or title to see specific critters in detail.

Sheepies These gentle animals spend their days grazing and gazing, as sheep are super curious... Maybe even a bit niele (or nosey), as we say here in Hawai'i.

The Chicken HoardeThere is nothing to say about the number of chickens that constantly flock to our farm. We do our best to provide each hen or rooster with a lifetime of health and a place to do what can only be described as "chicken stuff."
Our coffee farm logo was inspired by one of our finest roosters. A gentleman to his hens, and fierce protector of the farm against all intruders, Rooster Booster has moved on to greener pastures (if that's possible), but he lives forever in our continuing admiration. |
The PupsOur first rescue in Hawai'i was, of course, a dog. In 2002, we found Buddy, hairless, tumor covered, and starving at the Waipio Valley overlook. Tourists who had been feeding him their hot dog lunches piled onto the bus and left him standing there... With us. :)
There have been quite a few additions to our canine household over the years, but in order to make sure every dog has his (or her) day, and focus on our mission of helping goats, we no longer foster or rescue dogs. |
