This cute goat has charmed netizens with these adorable snaps of her toothy smile after she was rescued from a filthy stable.
The photos of the smiley Angora goat were shared by the Bergheim Animal Shelter based in the town of Bergheim in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
She was affectionately named Mrs Holle after a German fairytale character by the Grimm Brothers when she was rescued from a dirty stable where she was kept alone and neglected several years ago.
She is now cared for at the centre and often charms netizens with snaps of her adorable toothy grin on the shelter’s Instagram page where they have a following of nearly 20,000 people.

Holle is kept alongside 11 other goats as well as ducks, geese and turkeys after blossoming into a happy and social animal.
One particular picture that seems to have caught people’s attention shows Mrs Holle covered in a red Christmas blanket.
The caption read: “Others have a reindeer, we have Mrs Holle, the first officially recognised Christmas goat. And she takes her job very seriously.”
The goat, which is commonly mistaken for a sheep due to her long and shaggy fur, was even given the honour of being featured in the animal shelter’s calendar.
Fans love her picture and say her smile helps brighten their mood.
According to updates by the shelter, the goat has progressively become a more trusting animal and even allows others to pet her sometimes. She will also go as far as showing off her charming smile in hope of getting a carrot.
