Personality: Norman is still a very timid creature- Jack Turner, on of our youngest volunteers, is the only human Norman has ever approached. We are hoping that with continued exposure to nice humans Norman will eventually be one that we can all love on- hes so deserving of love.
Background: Norman has had a very rocky beginning- being born on a local farm- Norman, as an infant, was dragged across the field by a donkey. The donkey broke Normans leg at the femur. The leg wasnt set properly & too much time had passed by the time we got the call to take him in. After a visit to the vet & x-rays- it was determined that the break had calcified & all we could do is hope that he would use the leg for balance. So far so good- he will use it when he runs & to balance himself- keep good thoughts for him because at 1000 lbs full grown, we really need him to use that leg.

Personality: Miss Belle is a fighter- she has allowed us to work with her and do just about anything. We have given her physical therapy for months. In the beginning she could not walk but this wonderful creature would not give up.
Background: Miss Belle was found trapped in a backyard with a 4 foot fence that she could not jump back across. In her panic to get to her mom, she injured her neck, leaving her paralyzed temporarily. She is currently gaining strength in her legs and beginning to stand on her own.
Comment: Miss Belle was found in the Belle Island neighborhood - hence her name but some of us call her Missy for short. We are looking forward to her full recovery.

Native to: everywhere
Diet: grains & hay

Personality: Grandma is a beautiful, sweet girl. We can only hope that the remaining time that she has will be happy for her. Goats lifespan is 15-18 years. Grandma came to SC CARES in August of 2009.
Background: Grandma came from a local who had a small herd and wanted to downsize.Grandma is pretty old- her age is a guess. She came to us with open sores on her face- after the vets visit & testing it was discovered she has CL- a contagious viral infection, for which there is no cure. This will not take her life but means she must live separately from all other animals.

Personality: Jackson is a very sweet boy- he loves his mom (Grandma) so much that he would not allow us to leave with her without him. Jackson came to SC CARES in August 2009.
Background: As we were loading up Grandma to bring her to SC CARES, Jackson followed us to the truck. Although there were other goats of his family there, he did not understand where his mom was going. The man that wanted us to take Grandma did not intend for us to take Jackson too- but Jackson kept bleating and would not move away. So at the last minute, this man asked if we wanted to take him too- of course we said yes. Both goats were crying for each other- how could we separate them?
Comment: The unfortunate part of this story is that either from birth or contact, we believe Jackson may have this same virus.

Personality: Willow is a beautiful little girl. She will allow you to love on her but is always watching for the boys. Willow came to us in pretty bad shape- it took months to add a little weight to her before we could put her in the goat area with the boys- she needed all the strength she could muster to hang out with those rowdy boys.
Background: Willow was found along side the road by some of our SC CARES volunteers. They stopped thinking it was a dog and were afraid it would be hit by a car- much to their surprise this emaciated, tick infested little goat came baahhing right up to them. They stopped in the area to attempt to find her home but no one knew where she came from. Willow looked as if she had recently been nursing... we suspect she may have been a toss out- so that the babies could be hand-raised. Speculation of course.

Personality: Luigi is a very friendly guy and will walk on a leash. We think he will be a great ambassador for the sanctuary.
Background: Luigi came from a loving home. Because he kept escaping from his fenced area to play in the road, the family felt he would be safer at SC-CARES. He is a larger goat and we thought he would be a good companion for Kumar, the llama, who has a less than delightful disposition. We were wrong—Kumar began nipping at Luigi so they are now separated.

Personality: Tonto is still a little shy when it comes to humans but we are confident that will not last long.
Background: Since the loss of Moracco in November of 2008, Cairo had been terribly depressed. He was showing no interest in the things that used to fill his and Moracco’s days: greeting visitors, eating the landscape, playing on your car if you parked in the wrong place. Normally very active and friendly, he was lying in one spot for most of the day. Only in very rare cases, does SC-CARES solicit animals for the sanctuary but because goats are herd animals and should not be kept as solitary animals, we have been searching for a buddy for Cairo. Thanks to the hard work of dedicated volunteer Alicia Norris, Tonto is now Cairo’s new playmate. Tonto was donated by a local farmer. He is one year old and full-grown; although at half the size of Cairo he looks like a baby. It took no time at all for the two goats to bond. For the first couple of days Cairo was allowed to roam free but Tonto was confined to the goat enclosure. Cairo would not wander far, but if he got out of Tonto’s sight, Tonto would bleat until Cairo came running. They both now wander the grounds during the day, never out of sight of each other.

Comment: Moracco and Cairo spend their days playing around the sanctuary and waiting for the hut door to open just in case there is a chance of slipping in to find their feed bucket.They also like to lounge around on the benches, in fact David and Alicia donated two benches to the sanctuary and designated them goat benches!

Shes the boss- after a few minor injuries the herd has now become a family & everyone seems to be well adjusted.
Background: Sherry came to SC CARES in April 2010 from a family that is undergoing crisis and were not able to care for her. We were glad to be able to help them as well as Sherry during their challenging time.

Age: 18
Personality: Baby is still adjusting to life at SC CARES. She came to SC CARES in March 2008 with a little baggage, so it will take some time for her to feel completely relaxed. Baby is protective of Charmer & can not stand to be left alone; she is a little food aggressive but feeding separately seems to work.
Background: Babys story is a sad one- she has been bred all of her life & each one of her colts have been taken from her every time to sell. I do not think this poor horse has ever felt safe & happy. She is approx.16 years old & has been a brood mare for so long that it caused medical problems for which surgery had to be done to hopefully correct. Baby is still fighting a bladder infection because of these complications, so I am sure she is not feeling her best.
Comment: Worse than the physical damage she suffered is the psychological damage she has incurred. Everything she ever loved has always been taken from her & now she feels protective over Charmer & seems to be terrified if someone takes Charmer out of the barn area without her. We will continue to love her & do everything we can to make her feel safe & happy. If you have love to give, this girl needs some extra.

Background: Charmer came to us December, 14 2007. She is a 10 year old Quarter horse. She has navicular disease. Her surgery went well and she was allowed back in the pasture in March 2008.
Comment: Charmer looks forward to Caroline’s visits, she knows she is going to get a good brushing and some quality visiting time. Billie & Mersh, two of our volunteers, have also been taking care of Charmer. They visit just about every day and take Charmer for her walk, make sure she is brushed and clean her hoofs. Hank, another volunteer, is also one of Charmers pals, he has taken road trips all over the Grand Strand to make sure she has what she needs. Warren, a volunteer, made sure Charmer had a ride to and from the vets place in Summerville, South Carolina. As you can see Charmer has many friends!

Personality: Lady is the largest horse in the paddock, but still submissive to the lead horse (Charmer). She is a humble and wonderful girl.
Background: Lady came to us through a volunteer who does horse rescue as she can. This horse was kept in a grass field & too much grass can cause what is called "founders"- a hoof problem that can be cleared with a diet of only grains & hay. Now that Lady is here her hooves are healed and she is just a beautiful as ever.

Background: Kumar was hand raised by a woman and kept in the house. As well meaning as it was, this situation-according to llama experts in Texas, creates what is known as Berserk Llama Syndrome. We will continue to work with him, so he can become well balanced & have a happy fulfilling life here at SC CARES.

Personality: Arnold is a wonderful pig. He is so lovable that some of our volunteers think he acts more like a puppy than a pig. He has just started coming out with us and following us around. He is just the cutest little guy.
Background: Arnold lived on a farm with donkeys and emus who were not very crazy about him. They would bite him and chase him around. The owner of the farm moved to a retirement home and his son asked us to take Arnold. He came to SC CARES in Nov 2008 and is about 50 lbs underweight. We are feeding him and already seeing improvement in those wrinkles.
Comment: Arnold is such a sweet little boy and he has already captured many hearts.

Age: 6
Personality: Jimmy is a sweet, lovely pig. He loves to sleep and eat. He does get a bit fussy when you try to get him up to exercise. He grunts and snorts like a fussy ole man. Hes getting along better but in the next few years we are really looking to see improvement.
Background: Jimmys past 4 years were not the best. I believe the first 2 years were not too bad but the last 2 years he spent all of his time in a small laundry room, unable to get outside to exercise. His diet consisted of dog food, dumdum suckers and gum. This lifestyle led him to obesity and hoof problems. When Jimmy arrived at SC CARES he was pretty much cripple. It took twice with the farrier to get his hooves into shape and he is double the weight he should be. Weighing in at 300+lbs we are working on his diet to get him down to 150 lbs. This process will safely take several years.
Comment: We are optimistic about his weight although being so fat that he was unable to open his eyes for so long he is now permantely blind. At 4 years old with a lifespan of 15-20 years we are hopeful he will have a remaining wonderful life here.

Personality: Wilbur loves a hose bath. With the summer heat, Wilbur needs his daily hose spraying. He is so much fun to watch, he dances in the spray and tries to drink from it.
Background: Wilbur came to SC CARES on Jan. 20th 2008. He wondered up to a family home around Christmas, he was only about a month old and all alone. They took him in and fed him for about a month. They called DNR and were told he could not be released into the wild-( they are considered pests) so the family contacted SC CARES and here he is.
Comment: Wilbur is currently a big boy. He loves his new larger area and he also loves his veggies. Come see Wilbur, he likes people and attention if you are lucky he will talk to you ( in his on language of course) he also likes to be scratched behind the ears.

Personality: Jesse is a bit shy when it comes to pettings. He likes to come out & run around the nocturnal room. When we have the opportunity, we give him a rub behind his ears- he is unbelievably soft.
Background: Jesse was rescued by a group in North Carolina then adopted out to family for several years. The daughter, who was his main caretaker, left for college & could not take him. The remaining family wanted to find another home for him so we took him permanently in July 2007.
Comment: One of the BIGGEST errors we as humans make is not preparing for caring for these animals. Animals do not like being shifted to new homes, they get used to their surroundings & the humans they connect with. It is tough for them to adjust to so many new places. Jesse is here at SC CARES for the duration of his life & we hope to make it a happy one. Sorry to be preachy.

Personality: These rat girls are something else.. They live to eat & can sometimes be a bit bitey due to their background. Once they arrived we ordered what we call condos- There are 4 condos-3 levels with six rats in each. Zelda is sharing here 4 level condo with 6 other rats. Since they all look identical we were unable to name them individuallly-so we named the condos- "Zelda & the Rattees; The Rolling Stones; The Beatles; The Eagles."
Background: SC CARES received a call from a person who works at a lab in Charlotte & said that there were 24 rats that were set to be euthanized because the experiment that they were set for was cancelled. They had been there six months- 2 rats living in a tiny lab box. Two of our dedicated volunteers drove to Columbia to met this lady who got the rats out of the lab on Sunday- since they were set to be killed on Monday. Weve lost a couple of them to cancerous tumors- something the vet says is pretty common for these girls.

Personality: Shiloh has a wonderful personality. He is very shy to strangers but once he knows you, will lick & allow you to hug on him for a good while. He is a very sweet boy.
Background: Shiloh came to us from a lady in Columbia- she had taken in he & Deja from some person who thought they would be fine on their own. The two ended up with a litter of pups- this lady was able to adopt all but two of them out- which left her with four & a neighbor who insisted on causing problems about the animals. After every attempt possible to contain & quiet the animals this neighbor was relentless- causing the lady to have to appear in court. After all of the hooplay- she contacted us & we agreed to take them in. We call them the "Valpack"
