PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Two baby goats that were over Memorial Day weekend have returned, though one baby rabbit is still missing. In a social media post Tuesday morning, Orchards Feed shared that police found the baby goats 'dumped' on Lower River Road after someone reported the animals had been walking in the middle of the roadway. Construction nearly underway for new music venue in Portland's Lloyd District 'They were so hungry and drank their bottle in a couple minutes,' the post read. 'None of this would have a happy ending without all the help from the community.' The goats' return comes a day after the store shared that a man had cut through three deadbolts and a front gate before breaking into the goat pen and stealing the two baby goats. A second post shared that a baby rabbit was also missing. The suspect 'knew what they were doing,' according to Orchards Feed General Manager Matthew Beckley. 'They came in and out within 13 minutes, breaking all the different locks trying to get in and took (the goats) one by one out.' The rabbit remains missing as of Tuesday afternoon. An investigation is ongoing, and Clark County deputies say the person associated with the theft could face charges including theft of livestock and burglary. With help from security footage, the store said they have the suspect's car information, including the license plate, along with images of the suspect carrying a goat at the North Rosewood Avenue property.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Vancouver feed store is urging community members to help them find their missing animals after two baby goats and a baby rabbit were stolen over Memorial Day weekend. In a Monday morning Facebook post, Orchards Feed said a man cut through three deadbolts and a front gate, before breaking into the goat pen and stealing the two baby goats one at a time. In an updated post, the store shared that a baby rabbit was also taken. Now, the shop's owners are pleading with the community to help return the animals. 'This is heartbreaking. We need to find them before they are sold, or worse,' the store wrote on Facebook. 'We bottle-fed these since day 2 and they are our family, and the community has adopted them as well. We started the animal farm to help kids to the elderly with a bit of love and happiness from our animals.' With help from security footage, the store said they have the suspect's car information, including the license plate, along with images of the suspect carrying a goat at the North Rosewood Avenue property. While on the lookout for the animals, the feed store said they have contacted nearby businesses for their camera footage in hopes of finding the suspect.

'People are really upset, and we've had a lot of people reach out to us and say that they'll try to take care of them. We've let them know we're letting police handle it,' Beckley said. 'We do appreciate everybody who is supportive of us. We do have a lot of staff crying. We've raised these guys from day one, they're bottle-fed babies because they were rejected form their mother, so we've really grown accustomed to them, our customers love them.'
