A Massachusetts sanctuary said an escaped goat is safely back at the facility after two days on the loose.
The Sowa Goat Sanctuary in Harvard, which had offered a $5,000 reward for the safe return of missing goat Caleb, said the animal was found about .4 miles from the sanctuary.
The sanctuary said on social media that a man named Derek had found Caleb under a lean-to behind his tractor and immediately rushed to alert sanctuary personnel.
Caleb was loaded into a truck and transported back to the sanctuary to be reunited with his brother, Joey.
“They IMMEDIATELY started nuzzling and could not be happier to be back together in the safety of the sanctuary,” the post said.
The sanctuary had earlier revealed that Caleb ran off when he was spooked Sunday, sparking a days-long search that involved local police and thermal drones.
The post said Caleb was “shaken” but uninjured.
Officials had offered a $5,000 reward for the goat’s safe return, but it was unclear whether Derek had collected the money.
