Oxford Animal Sanctuary rehomes goat who disliked children
Bailey arrived in July 2024 at the Oxford Animal Sanctuary from the special education project, but it turned out that he was not a fan of children.
Not the noisy ones, not the quiet ones, not the ones offering treats. So it was decided he might be happier somewhere with a strict no-children policy.
His new home at the animal sanctuary has a strict no-children policy.
The Oxford Animal Sanctuary said: “You have never seen a goat look more relieved.”
Within a day, Bailey had become the leader of the goat group.
Describing his unmistakable tactic, The Oxford Animal Sanctuary said: “His signature move is the lean.
“He’ll come over, press his full weight against your leg, and gaze up at you with enormous, soulful eyes.”
While this seems like affection, it’s actually a demand for treats – he expects them before anyone else.
Beyond his treat rituals, Bailey is reportedly very affectionate and happy to spend time with those around him.
Bailey has found a contented life at Oxford Animal Sanctuary.
