- [Half\-Year Update: 337 Animals Rehomed So Far in 2026](https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/2026-half-year-update/): We've passed the halfway mark of 2026, and what a six months it's been\. 337 animals have found loving new homes, our cat waiting list is finally heading in the right direction, and animals like Bolo, Paddington and Beau have been through remarkable journeys\. Here's your half\-year update from the Sanctuary\.

It was still a wonderful month, though, with 71 animals heading off to their forever homes, a happy ending for six rescued Tiggywinkles kittens, and a handsome Lurcher named Zoomer still hoping to find his person\.

## Donations
- [Snowey](https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/product/sponsor/goats/snowey/): \<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>Snowey came to us in 2014, a white Pygmy goat with the unshakeable belief that he is in charge of everything\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>He's the loudest of our goat gang, the most opinionated about mealtimes, and by a long way the biggest fan of having the sides of his face scratched\. Underneath the bluster, he's a softie with a heart of gold\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>\<strong\>Did you know:\</strong\>\</p\>

\<ul\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Pygmy goats are one of the smallest goat breeds in the world\. They originated in West Africa and typically weigh no more than 40kg, which doesn't stop them believing they are the tallest, loudest, and most important animal in any given room\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats have rectangular pupils, which give them almost 320 degrees of peripheral vision\. This is how Snowey always knows when someone's opened the food bin, even if they're being very quiet about it\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats are surprisingly good climbers\. In the wild, some species can scale near\-vertical cliffs and even climb trees to reach tasty leaves\.\</li\>
\</ul\>
- [Tigger](https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/product/sponsor/goats/tigger/): Tigger joined us after being politely asked to leave a farm where he'd become a little too good at leading the rest of the herd through gaps in the fence\.

He's our sweetest and gentlest goat, and the quiet mischief\-maker of the trio\. You'll usually find him curled up in the stable with his best friend Bailey, or stretching up to pinch the tastiest leaves before Snowey can reach them\.
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>\<strong\>Did you know:\</strong\>\</p\>

\<ul\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Nubian goats are originally from North Africa and the Middle East, and they're famous for their long floppy ears and Roman noses\. They're also one of the most vocal breeds, though Tigger, being Tigger, mostly keeps his opinions to himself\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats are ruminants, with four stomach chambers\. The largest of these is the rumen, which acts as a huge fermentation vat, breaking down tough plant material that other animals can't digest\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats are natural escape artists\. They're intelligent, curious, and have an uncanny talent for finding weaknesses in fences, which is a trait Tigger knows a great deal about\.\</li\>
\</ul\>
- [Bailey](https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/product/sponsor/goats/bailey/): \<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>Bailey came to us in July 2024 from a charity that pairs animals with children in education\. The charity was lovely\. The children were lovely\. Bailey, it turned out, was not a fan of any of them\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>He's settled in beautifully here, where the only company he has to keep is the rest of the goat gang\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>He's become inseparable from Tigger, quietly promoted himself to leader ahead of Snowey, and perfected a lean\-against\-your\-leg routine that is, technically, a treat\-extraction strategy\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>He's a softie underneath it all\.\</p\>
\<p class="font\-claude\-response\-body break\-words whitespace\-normal leading\-\[1\.7\]"\>\<strong\>Did you know:\</strong\>\</p\>

\<ul class="\[li\_\&\]:mb\-0 \[li\_\&\]:mt\-1 \[li\_\&\]:gap\-1 \[\&:not\(:last\-child\)\_ul\]:pb\-1 \[\&:not\(:last\-child\)\_ol\]:pb\-1 list\-disc flex flex\-col gap\-1 pl\-8 mb\-3"\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats are highly intelligent and form strong individual bonds\. They can recognise familiar human faces and voices, and will often seek out their favourite people for attention\. Or, in Bailey's case, for treats\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>A goat's rectangular pupils give it almost 320 degrees of peripheral vision, which means they can keep an eye on predators, food, and other goats all at the same time\. Very useful if you're trying to make sure you get your treats before anyone else does\.\</li\>
 	\<li class="whitespace\-normal break\-words pl\-2"\>Goats are herd animals and thrive in small, settled groups\. Once a pecking order is established, they tend to stick with it, which may or may not be why Bailey moved quite so decisively to the top of ours\.\</li\>
