Today's sanctuary resident feature is provided so that you can have a joyous Monday ooh and ahhh over the cutest goat on the planet. Probably arguable, but one must admit (or face censure from legions of adoring Farm Sanctuary supporters not to mention a giant raspberry from me) that Avery is nigh absurdly cute. Maybe even cuteness incarnate. Okay, so all baby goats are cuteness incarnate, so enjoy the cuteness happening here on the Yoga Animalia Project blog! And for more cute goat pics, go to the Caprine gallery here.

Yoga Animalia: Caprine - Avery

Farm Sanctuary, Watkins Glen, New York

Avery was part of a loving family that attempted to provide for the baby goat, but they could not afford the veterinary bills at Cornell University when Avery became gravely ill. The medical condition that afflicted Avery would have killed him without treatment, but because of their strong relationship with Farm Sanctuary, Cornell vets reached out to the sanctuary who took him in. After his life-saving procedure, Avery arrived at the Watkins Glen location where he quickly showed himself to be a slightly oddball goat, doted upon by the humans around him.
