Vets weren’t sure why Hopie the goat couldn’t stand or walk, but they assumed she never would.
A social media post about the tiny goat caught the attention of a woman named Susan, who owns and operates Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary in Lawrenceville, Virginia. Susan knew she had to help Hopie, so she drove hundreds of miles to pick her up.
A few weeks later, Susan provided Hopie with a wheeled harness, which she hoped would help her gain enough strength and balance to walk.
Hopie quickly adapted to her new cart and became mobile for the first time. Before long, she was dashing around at lightning speed.
After 48 days at the sanctuary, Hopie was able to stand unassisted. She took her first steps the next day and began running on her own ten days later.
Thanks to Susan’s refusal to give up on Hopie, the little goat now has the freedom and quality of life she deserves.
Watch this video to witness Hopie’s inspirational journey!
What’s New…
I’m wondering if for some reason her legs wouldn’t bear her weight when she was younger, but when she got bigger and stronger they started to work properly? But whatever the reason, my oh my she’s a fighter!!
Sweet little goat. I am happy Hopie is happy and safe.
What a remarkable story. LOVED IT.
Why don’t you just leave the animals be in their own habitats??
How amazing!! Thank you for your selfless kindness & humanity!!! What a beautiful heart!! What an incredible story!!! You gave her back her life!! Thank you! 🐐

Vets could not figure out why Hopie the goat couldn’t walk, but she was determined to teach herself how to run! Watch this little goat get stronger and stronger every day.
What an absolutely AMAZING story about abut Hopie the little goat! I have a similar story about a 6 year old female American Bulldog that I had rescued… and she became paralyzed after an emergency c-section. In diapers, using pee pads & dragging herself around. Then we got Momma bear Kali a wheelchair and she never gave up and we never gave up! She lived another 3.5 years to her 14th birthday and passed happy being able to not just walk again but run with some of her pups. We miss her dearly.
Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful story! And THANK YOU to Susan for sharing the love & compassion for God’s beautiful and innocent creatures! Thank you for never giving up on Hopie!
Sending much love!
God Bless!
This is just beautiful! I’m so glad she found her way to this sanctuary and was given a chance!
