Missing Montgomery County goat returns to animal sanctuary
Search for missing goat underway in Montgomery County
A Potomac animal sanctuary is asking for help in searching for a missing goat named Miggles.
POTOMAC, Md. - A goat that was reported missing from a Montgomery County animal sanctuary has returned, the owner said Thursday.
What we know:
The 3-year-old goat, named Miggles, went missing from Dream Catcher Meadows, a nonprofit green care farm animal sanctuary in Potomac, earlier this week.
Owner, Susan D. Rich, asked for the community’s help. On Thursday she told FOX 5 DC Miggles had returned to the sanctuary.
Rich said Miggles was rescued from a Delaware farm about a year ago. The people who took her in have some health issues, and Rich had just picked up Miggles last weekend. Then, either on Sunday night or Monday morning, Miggles went missing, possibly slipping through a slit in the gate.

Rich had some help with the search as the MoCo Show ran an article about Miggles earlier Wednesday. A good Samaritan with a thermal drone came by to look for the missing goat free of charge, but was unable to find Miggles at the time.
"She was already traumatized," Rich said Wednesday, before Miggles had returned. "She is a 3-year-old little goat who had given birth to this little baby goat who we now have. He’s now a year old. His name is Phineas, and he’s missing his mom."
