One sweet little goat couldn’t walk. That’s when Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary decided to step in and help the poor goat. The sanctuary is a nonprofit organization that takes in farm animals needing love, attention, and special care. When Hopie joined the sanctuary, it was clear she needed all three.

Although they took her to the wet, they were unable to find out why Hopie’s difficulties lifting her body. However, her caretakers believed that she can walk if they just worked with her.

It seemed that the goat wanted to move, so the employees at the sanctuary put in a request for a cart that will help her with walking. As soon as Hopie was placed inside the cart, she was very happy.

The device helped her to stand on all four legs. Although it had wheels, she still had to take steps forward in order to get anywhere. Hopie quickly caught on to the movement, and it wasn’t long before she could walk and even run with the support of the cart!

Thanks to the cart, Hopie had adjusted to her cart and gained some strength and confidence.  The owners of the sanctuary decided to give her the chance to try standing without it. Although Hopie was a little bit hesitative, she managed to balance on all four legs. She was so proud, just like the owners!

Slowly but surely, Hopie began walking and eventually running on her own. Although she still looks pretty silly when she walks or runs, that doesn’t stop her from achieving her goal! It just makes her all the more lovable!

It took less than two months for Hopie to go from not being able to walk to mastering the art of running. Her determination and spunk were greatly appreciated by everyone who worked with her. We’re fairly certain she’s been a farm favorite from the start!
