About Mia, Tia & Rio
Mia is the beautiful, graceful mum to Tia and Rio.
All 3 were found roaming in unsafe urban territory with busy roads and were subsequently impounded by the local pound.
Despite an 8 day impound and efforts to locate where they came from, no one came forward to claim this sweet trio and so they made their way to us.
They were very frightened on arrival but have mellowed out a little since joining the main herd. Mia and Tia will come and eat out of your hands now but Rio still keeps his distance from strangers but will take treats thrown to him which is a huge step for him.
With some more one on one attention, this family group will relax and their personalities will shine!
Mia has clearly been used as a breeding and milking goat before and her poor udder is evidence of this. Despite the stretched and saggy appearance, her udder causes no issues now that she is no longer being bred.
Rio has been castrated and all 3 are microchipped, vaccinated and wormed.
We can also assist with transport throughout Victoria for fuel costs.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
