About Uhtred
Uhtred (son of Uhtred of Bebbanburg) is named after a strong Viking character from TV Show The Last Kingdom!
Uhtred is fresh out of the pound and is currently a nervous boy with a tough exterior.
But we know Uhtred's secret! He can't resist a yummy snack! While he puts on a show of stomps and snorts (typical Viking), offering a piece of bread makes him forget all his toughness as he tentatively accepts a delectable slice.
Uhtred has just been castrated, so its understandable with that and the scary confines of the pound that he doesn't have much trust at the moment.
With time (and we don't think much time!) we know he'll come around with some kindness and patience. We have seen big, tough boys exactly like him become soft, little angels that stare into your eyes, longing for cuddles.
Uhtred needs to be adopted with at least 2 other goats if you don't already have goat companions at home. We can recommend friends that Uhtred would be most suited with.
Uhtred has been castrated, vaccinated, hoof trimmed, wormed, lice treated and microchipped. We can also assist with transport for the cost of fuel.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
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.
