Podcast Feature: From Restaurants to Rescue Work: Deborah Blum on Goatlandia Farm Animal Sanctuary

Written By Deborah Blum

Better Life for Animals – Episode 043

Goatlandia Sanctuary founder Deborah Blum was recently featured on the Better Life for Animals podcast, hosted by Cheryl Moss, in a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about goats, animal rescue, and the journey that led Deborah from the restaurant world to founding a farm animal sanctuary.

In this episode, Deborah shares what goats have taught her about curiosity, social behavior, and trust, along with the realities of sanctuary life and rescue work. The conversation explores how animals experience trauma and healing, and why compassion, patience, and education are essential to ethical animal care.

Deborah also shares the story of Guapo, a rescued goat whose journey reflects the depth, resilience, and sensitivity animals carry with them.

“Sanctuary life is about rescue, farming, and community coming together every day.”
