Here at GoatWorld.com, we realize that your animals are most likely considered part of your family, whether pets, livestock or livestock guardians.  We know ours are. No matter how many you may have lost over the years of being a farmer, rancher or homesteader, loss is still never easy…we just learn better ways of coping once they leave us and some we never get over.  The purpose of this section is to give you a small, but lasting space in which to pay tribute to your animal passing over the Rainbow Bridge, Going to Heaven to be with God or whatever you may envision their death/passing to be. 

If  you would like your "furever" family member listed here, please follow the instructions listed below.  Send us your photo with a brief inscription, that we can include as a  caption for each photo. At a minimum, please include their name and the year of their passing. 

We originally began this page back in the year, 2000, but a lot of people simply weren't aware that it was even available as we had just put it up quietly and then honestly neglected to promote it as much as we should have afterward.  Recently, during our upgrade, we asked people which features they would like to see enhanced or improved and our "In Memoriam" page was mentioned as one they would like to see expanded.   Several long-time GoatWorld.com Members asked if they could still send their photos, even though it may have been several years ago that they lost their beloved animal. We said,"Of course. Let us see what we can do."

For now, we will be happy to accept one photo per animal with a small caption.  We have built a new set of galleries which we have sorted by year of passing/gone missing to fill with your photos.  You may submit as many animals as you would like, but for now we must limit the space to one photo per animal. In the future, once we get more of our site makeover completed and upgrade our space allocation, we may expand this section to allow more individual space for each tribute. 

Meanwhile, we hope this section will give you a quiet place online to stop by and reflect on the time you spent with each other. By submitting your photos, you are agreeing to let visitors also browse the galleries, so maybe your photo will remind someone else of their furbabies (or featherbabies) and inspire them to submit their own tributes.  Either way, we are happy to do this for you and hope it brings you joy. Feel free to share this link with your human family and friends.   Enjoy!
