Many of you helped when Buster needed it most… and we wanted to share a happy update.

Thanks to the incredible support from so many people, Buster received specialized care at the University of Florida. Veterinarians discovered a blockage and successfully removed it, and Buster is now home and recovering.

Stacy from Happy Goat Trading Co. shared this update and thanked everyone who donated, shared, and prayed. Your kindness truly helped save this sweet boy.

Definitely not a bigfoot. Maybe a Lepre-Squach?

They say if you see him, it’s already too late.

May the luck of the Irish be with you this St. Patrick's Day!

Please help Buster.

Our friend Stacy from Happy Goat Trading Co. is doing everything he can to get Buster the specialized care he needs at UF’s Large Animal Hospital.

Many of you may know Buster from festivals and fairs across Central Florida.

He has brought so much joy to so many people over the years, and now he needs a little help from the community that loves him.

If you are able to donate or share, it would mean so much.

As one year ends and another begins, we’re grateful for everyone who made time to be a part of The Forest this season.

The faces, the conversations, and the shared nights are what stay with us long after the lights go out.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re already at work on what comes next. New ideas. New twists. The same place you know, with a few surprises waiting.

Happy New Year from all of us at A Petrified Forest.
