Gelato
Gelato and Eno (who has since passed) are sweet female goats who lived on a dairy farm in North Carolina. Because of their advanced age, they could no longer produce enough milk and were going to be sent to slaughter. After working for the dairy farm for years, the owners were prepared to simply discard Gelato and Eno (8 and 10 years old at the time, respectively), which sadly is common practice on dairy farms once female goats reach a certain age and milk production begins to decline. Luvin Arms was notified, and the Director of Resident Care, Jolene Wells, flew to North Carolina and drove Gelato and Eno back to their forever home at Luvin Arms.
Today, Gelato is enjoying her much-deserved life of retirement: basking in the sunshine, playing with their goat family, and eating leafy green treats.
