Hi, I’m Portia

Sponsor Me

Portia was only a few hours old when she was found in February 2018 facedown in straw, laying motionless with her brother Twitch. The farmer didn’t think they would make it so he was more than willing to surrender the both of them over to Barn Sanctuary. All they needed was a warm blanket with some formula and extra attention. They bounced back within a few days and are now hopping around the pasture as happy as can be.

Portia is known around the sanctuary as the most photogenic goat. She is a little playful beauty who loves posing for the camera, showing off her one white horn and one black horn. She is very sociable, loves head scratches and enjoys playing chase with anyone who will play with her. She sticks with her brother most of the time but loves saying hello to all the humans she meets too.

Sponsorships help us provide daily care, regular medical checkups and cover any unexpected emergency care costs for each animal. Sponsor Portia to help us provide the care he deserves!

Introduce me to your friends!
