Scruffaluffagus’s Story🐐
How do you summarize a life that meant so much in a single video…
Our hearts are shattered
The sanctuary feels quieter
His little custom cottage sits empty
We’d give anything to see those big, beautiful, majestic horns coming around the corner just one more time
Scruffaluffagus 🐐
A goat who had known hunger, heartbreak, and loss, yet somehow never lost his gentle, kind soul.
This loss has been devastating
The reality is that, on top of losing him, in his final days we spared no expense trying to save him. The emergency care, diagnostics, medications, hospitalization, and treatments have left us with thousands of dollars in veterinary expenses.
But when I think about those final hours, I don’t think about the cost.
I think about the goat who once stood beside his best friend in the street and had nobody.
I think about how, in the end, he was surrounded by people who loved him.
People who fought for him.
A whole team of specialists worked through the night to make sure he was comfortable & cared for until his very last breath.
To us, that was worth every penny
We’re especially grateful to the Gagauf family, his Alpha Sponsors, whose love & support helped us give him the beautiful life every rescued animal deserves
He didn’t leave this world as a stray
He left this world loved
If you’d like to help us cover the cost of Scruffaluffagus’s treatments/end of life care costs, we’d be deeply grateful
You can donate at

Or, if you’d like to help with his vet bill directly, you can contact the University of Florida Large Animal Hospital, ask to make a payment toward Alyssa’s Animal Sanctuary under the name “Scruffy”
Thank you for loving Scruff as much as we did
💙
Run free with your old best friend again, sweet Scruffaluffagus.
We miss you so much already💔🐐🌈
