Arlington sanctuary gives new life to goats



ARLINGTON — With kittens curled up in windowsills, a little red barn with white-painted trim and the April sunshine making the green grass pop, New Moon Sanctuary looks like a fairytale farm come to life.

Ellen Felsenthal, founder of New Moon, started the sanctuary in 1998 and since then has been creating magical endings full of love and pets for rescued goats and a handful of other farm animals who call the place home.

Felsenthal hadn’t planned on starting a goat sanctuary. She had been involved with other types of animal rescues before, but then a little Nigerian Dwarf goat named Ziggy came into her life, needing a home.

“I was involved with cats, dogs and horses, but then goats kind of came up, and no one had facilities for them,” she said on Thursday.

Nigerian goats. What a trip that was. Loved them so much, they followed me all over the place when I did the horse chores and we would take walks all over the farm. It was very hard when they died one day apart. I did not think I would ever stop crying. They each had a special song of their own just like my horses, dogs and kitties do. The goats were different though, they butted their way into your heart and you could never lose them.

Goats are amazing.
