Gandalf
As the self-appointed King of everything and absolute wild child, Gandalf has an enormous presence here at the sanctuary and many fans across our socials. He is loud, proud and not afraid to use those horns or his 90kg body weight for evil if it means he gets his snacks quicker, gets you out of his way or even just to entertain himself on a slow day.
Gandalf was rescued from a rural pound as an intact Buck and was likely used for breeding and no longer wanted. Gandalf found himself homeless and very smelly so after being de-sexed, he found his way to the Sanctuary via Strong Hearts Farm Sanctuary and immediately made himself right at home. You will often find him screaming down the paddock demanding snacks, guarding his favourite shelter or sunbaking. He is most definitely the boss of the Goat herd and takes great delight in that fact. Gandalf also likes to razz the humans up when we enter the paddock and show us just what he can do with his impressive horns, when he approaches we never know if we should expect a head butt or his beautiful face presented for cheek scratches
We love that Gandalf feels safe to be his boisterous self and we simply can’t get enough of the laughs he gives us daily with his antics!!
