Hello Reader,

When people think about animal rescue, they often picture a few animals and a lot of good intentions. But running a goat rescue is far more complex than most people realize.

In this week’s episode of For the Love of Goats, Deborah talks with Deborah Blum, founder of Goatlandia Farm Animal Sanctuary in California, about what it truly takes to run a nonprofit sanctuary caring for dozens of goats and more than 150 farm animals.

They discuss disease testing and quarantine, caring for goats with chronic conditions like CL, building a trusted veterinary team, and helping rescued animals recover emotionally as well as physically. Blum also shares unforgettable rescue stories and offers honest advice for anyone who has ever dreamed of starting a sanctuary of their own.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a goat rescue—or how compassion and good management go hand in hand—this episode offers a thoughtful, eye-opening look.

Happy listening,
Deborah and the podcast team
