Making a Difference: Connecting through Community Outreach
At J & J Second Chance Small Holdings, we actively engage with our community, collaborating with schools, veterans centers, outreach centers, hospitals, and more. Our unique offering, known as “Goat Therapy,” combines the comforting aspects of cat, dog, and horse therapy.
-During our sessions, individuals have the opportunity to brush, pet, read to, hold, and engage in conversations with our goats. These therapeutic interactions take place both at our home and during events, which can be hosted indoors, outdoors, or as mobile experiences. In our mobile events, goats wear diapers and ride in buggies to interact with everyone. The goats thoroughly enjoy the attention and love dressing to impress.
-If you’re interested in having us attend your event, please reach out to us at jjsecondchancesmallholdings@gmail.com. To stay updated on our upcoming locations, check out our events page. Click Here for a printable flyer

Making a Difference: Honoring and Connecting through Our Veterans Outreach Program
Being a veteran, I deeply appreciate the impact animals can have on our mental and physical well-being. Animals provide the unconditional love and care that is essential in our lives. Frequently, we find ourselves caught up in the demands of time, pushed beyond our limits, or simply forgotten amidst life’s challenges, neglecting the crucial act of taking a moment to breathe. Goat therapy serves as a valuable opportunity for us to pause and be accepted. We’ve visited veteran centers, attended veteran events, visited veteran homes, and wherever there’s a veteran in need of the comforting presence of our goats.
Empowering Health: Unveiling Our Hospital Outreach Initiatives
We’ve brought our goats to medical and clinic centers, ensuring they make a stylish entrance in clothes, diapers, boots, and wagons. The use of diapers prevents any mess, and for indoor events, we ensure the goats are bathed beforehand. We’ve organized both indoor and outdoor events at wellness centers, hospitals, and various other locations. The flexibility of wagons and carts allows us to navigate from room to room or office to office. Witnessing the joy the goats bring to both individuals in care and their caregivers is truly heartwarming. Many have expressed that our visits “make their day.”
Challenging Misconceptions: Caring for Goats in Need
Despite their endearing nature, goats often find themselves overlooked when it comes to understanding the depth of care they require. Common misconceptions about their needs surface in comments like, ‘Do goats really need rescuing?’ At J & J Second Chance, we recognize that, much like dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, unforeseen circumstances in owners’ lives can disrupt their ability to provide ongoing care for their goats.
Our mission extends beyond these misconceptions. We provide refuge for goats facing diverse challenges, be it abuse, injury, or a need for extra attention. Our rescue efforts offer a secure haven for these goats, granting them the opportunity to find new families or a permanent home where they can thrive.
Join us in debunking myths and spreading awareness about the care, compassion, and commitment required for goats in need. Together, let’s ensure a brighter future for these remarkable animals.
