Goody Needs Shoes

Sacramento Tall Club is a sponsor of the giraffes at the Sacramento Zoo.  We invite you to help us help provide boots and braces for Goody.  Our goal is to cover the cost of a year's worth of booths and braces.  If many, give a little, we will reach our goal for Goody.  Thank you in advance for your donation.  Hope it brings a smile to your heart.

Goody, one of the Sacramento Zoo's reticulated giraffes. Suffers from chronic joint abnormalities that contributes to her arthritis.

 To help relieve the 1,500 pound, 14-foot tall, giraffe's discomfort, zookeepers outfitted her with custom-made shoes.  She wears out the shoes quickly.  

Your donation will help pay for a  year's worth of shoes and the braces that go with them.

The shoe comes with a metal plate and custom insole that helps to align her joints.  It also corrects the rotation of her foot.  They cost $200.00 per month.

 “Goody has been opting to stay outside with the herd more instead of going into the barn every day for a long nap.  "Sitting less often shows us she feels more comfortable. She is also choosing to socialize with her friends. She is getting more exercise too” said zoo staff.
