Alfredo
Alfredo "Alfi" for short is coming to Maui Goat Yoga any day now. He is 4 weeks old and super handsome. We are waiting to spend some time with Alfredo and get to know his personality before we complete his bio. The time we have spent with him he is mello and sweet and perfect for our Maui Goat Yoga family.
Tsunami
Tsunami is another new addition to the Maui Goat Yoga family. He came to live with us when Bella Luna did. They came from the same home to our home. Tsunami name was "No Namey" for a while according to breeder. They were not sure what to name him. We ended up keeping his name because it is so the opposite of his personality. Now we call him Susu because he is oh so so SuSu sweet. Tsunami is as sweet as as they come. He loves to be picked up and snuggled and kissed. He will just stay content in your arms for as long as you want to hold him.
Jon Snow
Mister melt your heart! Jon Snow is super handsome and he knows he melts hearts but does not break hearts. He is the ultimate lover boy and gentleman. Don't be fooled though he will try to chew anything he can get in his mouth. Your shirt. Your jacket hoodie strings. Your hair. Your shoes. He just loves to show love with love nibbles and of course snuggles. Jon Snow's twin brother is Duder.
Duder
Duder! Love love love my most gentle Duder! Can not get a more sweet male goat as Duder. Duder will wait his turn patiently and always make sure the ladies (Sweet Pea, Daisy, and Cookie go first) Duder is named after my brother David who has amazing blue eyes like Duder (and of course the most amazing gentleman to the ladies). My parents used to yell across the house "hey Duder" to get my brothers attention instead of just the usual "hey Dude". Duder is a gentleman and will never jump on you or chew your things. He just wants love and treats. Duder's twin brother is Jon Snow.
Daisy

Sweet Pea
Her name says it all! Sweet as a little Pea. She is Cookie’s twin sister. Sweet pea is curious and loving. She loves to follow her sister around and will sit as close to where Cookie is as possible. Sweet Pea loves to do a sideway kick jump when she gets excited and adores to play hide and seek.

Cookie
Cookie is our sweet little cookie! Cookie is a lively, playful chatter box and she lets us know what is on her mind at all times. She is the queen of snugglers.

Animals are extremely therapeutic in so many ways. What is a Animal Therapy? Animal Therapy is an animal that provides affection, love and comfort to people who need it. It is an alternative or complementary type of therapy that involves animals as a form of treatment. The goal of Animal Therapy is to improve a patient’s social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. These therapy animals are often used in hospitals, mental institutes, prisons, assisted living homes, nursing homes, schools, rehabilitation centers, hospices and other areas to help improve their well-being.
