SACRAMENTO, Calif (KGO) -- A giraffe at the Sacramento Zoo now has a special shoe to help with her arthritis.

Goody, a 16-year-old giraffe was having trouble standing. Zookeepers say her new accessory offers extra support.

Goody is now more social, able to spend more time hanging out with her sister, Skye. She also goes to acupuncture and laser therapy.

Goody's treatments are paid for mostly by community donations.
