About Liquorice, Pebbles & Axel
These absolutely stunning boys came to us from a rural pound after being rounded up by rangers.
The pound suspected that they escaped from a local goat farm as young kids and found refuge in a nearby quarry where they lived for quite a long time given their size!
Liquorice & Pebbles came in pretty terrified of humans and to this day, Pebbles (white blaze on face) remains quite fearful of humans and will only approach when other goats do. Liquorice (black) has finally come out of his shell and accepts treats from your hands and is enjoying a chin scratch more and more!
Axel came from the pound on a different occasion and is brave depending on who hes with! His best bud is 100% Pebbles but in a larger group of friendly goats, he will happily approach for snacks and hay!
These boys would thrive in a home with much more one on one attention but also not pushed beyond their comfort zone. Liquorice and Axel will come around to a new family quickly with routine snacks and food deliveries but we expect Pebbles to be a bit slower to warm up to his humans. Time and routine will be your friend!
These boys have to stay together and would benefit being adopted with other goats as Pebbles will feel safer in numbers.
They are up to date with their vetwork and are all desexed. We can also assist with transport to new homes for fuel costs.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
