4-legged door-to-door alert: Goat hoofs it to Delridge doorstep

Authorities responded to a wild call in the 7900 block of Delridge (map) this morning: A goat on the loose. Nothing like that Sunset Avenue roundup last month, though, nor did it require transport to a holding cell: A couple of official city items were turned into makeshift barricades to keep the goat from going on the lam before animal control arrived.

    Remember when a bunch of goats broke free in the Admiral area? Could this little guy be from that group?

    That’s one of the links I have in the story. Didn’t appear to be goats in the area but you never know. Unless someone comes forward with direct knowledge of the situation, we’re not going to have any official followup till city offices reopen on Monday (assuming this guy/gal wound up with the animal shelter) … TR

    Just a reminder that miniature or pygmy goats are allowed as small pets in the city of Seattle per the Municipal Code. But they are supposed to be licensed just like your cat or dog.

    Hope they get them together with the owner.

Sorry, comment time is over.
