COMPASSION • ADVOCACY • RECOVERY • EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

We strongly believe in the incredible impact that connecting with animals can have, especially in helping us navigate life's most difficult moments. Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to providing comfort and joy to the community by promoting interactions between humans and animals, particularly goats. Engaging with these wonderful creatures has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness — and goats are particularly adept at this. Their gentle demeanor and expressive features provide solace to individuals of all ages.

Goat therapy is gaining recognition in the fields of mental health and education. Simply spending time with goats, cuddling them, or enjoying a lighthearted yoga session alongside them can bring about a sense of joy and tranquility that is hard to describe until you experience it firsthand.

Pactamere Cares acknowledges the advantages that goats can offer :

-Children with sensory needs become more relaxed and engaged.

-Adults facing anxiety discover a sense of calm.

-Seniors find joy and reminiscence through the touch and companionship of animals.

Goats do more than just spread happiness — they bring together people from diverse backgrounds. In a fast-paced, stressful world, our aspiration is to unite individuals through the simple joys of spending time with animals. 

As we grow our community programs, we look forward to expanding our goat-centered initiatives — from educational visits to goat yoga, goat grams, and wellness days.

Join us in making a difference. Whether you want to donate, volunteer, or simply learn more, there are many ways to get involved and support our work.
