The friendly goat has been gaining weight and settling into shelter life since being found roaming near Webb Mountain Park.
MONROE, CT — Gandolf, the friendly goat found wandering near Webb Mountain Park earlier this month, will soon be looking for a forever home.
Monroe Animal Control announced this week that the senior Lamancha-type billy goat is expected to be available for adoption after receiving some extra care at the shelter.
Officials said Gandolf has been dewormed and is being fed regularly to help him gain weight.

Animal control also shared that Gandolf has developed a fondness for soft, cushy dog beds, thanks in part to a recent donation from Monroe resident Clare Biagioni.
