Dixie sits down with Cora Moore of Faeryland Farms, a Tennessee sanctuary where rescued goats become partners in wellness, education, and community healing. Cora shares how her background in psychology and her deep connection to nature shaped a program that brings goats into classrooms, assisted‑living homes, universities, and community events — helping people slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

Listeners will learn how Ginger Snaps became the first certified therapy goat in the U.S., why goat‑assisted wellness is rooted in consent and co‑regulation, and how Faeryland Farms is building a national certification program to support therapy goats everywhere. With 50 rescued animals, a National Wildlife Federation–certified habitat, and a mission centered on kindness, grounding, and joy, Faeryland Farms shows how “the sweetest little heathens” can change lives.

Francine Guillot of the Spay Neuter Iberia Project (SNIP) joins the Animal Posse Podcast to share a raw, boots‑on‑the‑ground look at what it really takes to fight pet overpopulation in Louisiana. From reviving a dormant nonprofit to rescuing special‑needs kittens like Gump, Francine walks us through the daily challenges, emotional wins, and community gaps that shape animal welfare in New Iberia.

She breaks down how SNIP approaches TNR, works with local vets, supports elderly residents who feed but can’t afford to fix, and pushes for accessible spay/neuter options in a parish overwhelmed by stray cats and dogs. You’ll hear stories of wall‑trapped kittens, trap‑smart ferals, transport programs, and the relentless determination required to make even the smallest dent in overpopulation.

This episode is a testament to the power of volunteers, compassion, and community outreach—and a reminder that one success story can keep an entire mission moving forward.
