I’m Alli, and I grew up in the city—far from the life I’ve built today.

I took a leap into animal rescue with nothing but basic knowledge of farm animals and a deep desire to help. The path has been filled with both setbacks and growth, but it’s been worth every moment.

When I moved to the my rural community, I saw firsthand the struggles that farm animals face every day. It was here that I realized I couldn’t just stand by.

That’s when I started The Little Black Goat, a place where animals who have been forgotten or mistreated could find a home, healing, and hope.

Over time, my commitment to animals has extended beyond rescue. I became vegan—not just for the animals, but for the environment and health.

I’ve learned how deeply interconnected our choices are with the world around us, and I’ve made the choice to live in a way that aligns with my values. It’s a way of life that feels right, physically and emotionally right for me.

I didn’t start with a plan or resources, but I had a vision, and now, six years in, The Little Black Goat is slowly becoming that vision.

But I can’t do this alone. Every step forward relies on the support of people who care, who see the value in kindness, sustainability, and the power of compassion.

This journey has been difficult, but it’s also been the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.

If you believe in creating a better world for animals, for the planet, and for ourselves, I invite you to join me.
