Go out and thrive
“Putting animals and people together in a way that is healing for both” is the core mission of Shepherd’s Rest Goat and Sheep Rescue. Through the Animal Assisted Therapy Program, we believe we can create an impact that echoes in the lives of our clients far beyond the boundaries of the rescue.
Goat Yoga
We hold classes Spring through Fall at our picturesque 100-year-old farm located in Pickrell, Nebraska, just a 30 minute drive south of Lincoln.

We also offer walking meditation paths, goat cuddles, and a slower paced getaway from city life. Come experience the joy of the residents here at the rescue, all while helping us help those who cannot speak for themselves.
