The Benefits of Goat Therapy

We all know that dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and even Llamas make good therapy animal candidates. But did you know that goats can also provide us with therapeutic benefits? In the case of Heleene Green, she has always loved goats since she was young and saw the healing powers capric animals could give just by companionship.

She even embraced the moniker of “goat girl” during her younger years. A regular visitor of Heleene and her parent’s 12-acre farm said, “They [the goats] bring back a joy that we just don’t have today. When you come to watch the goats play, it’s just a relief from the crazy world we live in.”

To visit Heleene’s goats for a therapy session, find Green’s Friendship Acres in Vernon, Wisconsin, or contact them on Facebook for directions and advanced bookings.
