Jennifer Clark took in a few miniature goats during the COVID-19 pandemic to help some people out.

Word got around fast.

“Next thing I knew, I had people tying animals to my fence, whole herds of 10 to 20 goats,” she said. “And then someone called me about a miniature highland cow, and I said I’d take him.”

Now she has a nonprofit rescue farm full of cute miniatures — horses, cows, donkeys and the friendly goats that she’s known for. Those give her rescue, J&J’s Second Chance Small Holdings, its more well-known moniker, The Goat Ladies.

As with any nonprofit rescue, money to run it has proven to be the hard part.
