About Springbok
Springbok is a handsome young lad who escaped a notorious backyard butcher along with 24 of his family members. He and his father Bongo led their herd to the safety of some bushland where they were captured and bought to the sanctuary.
Springbok is still a shy boy, understandably, as he has witnessed many terrible things happen to his family at the hands of man but won't hesitate to accept a yummy treat from your hand now! He is a great herd leader and would be happiest in a herd of at least 3 or more goats in a home that will continue to show him kindness with a gentle hand and lots of yummy treats to give.
Springbok would has a number of buddies in our big goat herd now but would like to go to a new home with Ajani especially (also on Pet Rescue) as they have always been inseparable.
Springbok is desexed and up to date with worming, lice treatment and vaccinations.
We can also assist with transport to homes Victoria wide 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.
