Rodney and Ralph are dotty about the latest in goat fashion
Winter may finally be turning to spring but two of the most popular residents at city homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield still need to wrap up against any unexpected chills.
That’s why popular Emmaus Sheffield goats Rodney and Ralph are now sporting the latest in animal fashion - their own colourful coats!
“We had noticed that Rodney and Ralph had been shivering a little more than usual during the really cold weather at the start of the year,” said Emmaus Sheffield marketing and development manager Charley Fedorenko.
“Their shelter is really cosy for them but we realised that needed that extra layer of protection when they came out to greet visitors.
“We were delighted when we looked online and discovered that you can actually buy coats specifically for goats and now they’re really standing out in their distinctive polka dot styles.”
Rodney and Ralph are a popular attraction at the Emmaus Sheffield Second Hand Superstore at the charity’s headquarters in Cadman Street, close to the Canal Basin.
“The boys are both 12-years-old now, which makes them quite elderly goats, and it’s important we keep them comfortable in their senior years,” Charley added.
