Stray Goat Found Near Taylor Drive In Winfield

WINFIELD, IL — DuPage County Animal Services is hoping to reunite a stray goat with its owners. The male goat was found inside a fenced construction enclosure at Wheaton Christian Grammar School Tuesday, Administrator Laura Flamion told Patch.

Flamion said the goat had on a red canvas collar when he was found inside the enclosure. While the goat did not seem to be in distress, Flamion told Patch it was "nervous because people had been chasing it until our arrival."

Once the goat calmed down, the team from DuPage County Animal Services was able to use protective barriers and a leash to retrieve the goat.

"Thanks to our donors at DuPage Animal Friends," she said, "they pay for a special veterinarian to come to the shelter for exams on exotic animals and livestock."

Flamion said the goat had a veterinarian's appointment Wednesday and seems to be healthy.

If you think the goat is yours, you can call DuPage County Animal Services at 630-407-2800. If the goat's owners do not come forward, rescue placement will be sought, Flamion told Patch.
