Little Archie the goat

Institute for Justice

Little Archie cannot run and play like other goats. He was born with fused back legs. But he found freedom at Fairytale Farm in Winston-Salem, N.C., where owner Kimberly Dunckel and her family provide sanctuary for disabled and neglected animals.

Other barnyard residents include ducks, donkeys, and rabbits who are ineligible to stay at local animal shelters, which cater to cats and dogs. Dunckel fills the gap, giving specialized care to every creature who comes her way. Archie now has a wheeled cart he can pull with his front legs.
