The goat is stolen property, quite valuable property at that. They probably just went to the animal rescue and asked them to hand it over. After all, I doubt the animal rescue wants to deal with possession of stolen property charges.
The article is vague on how they "retrieved" the goat, probably intentionally so. Considering the whole framing of the article they would have mentioned if they went full FBI OPEN UP!

You are right, if I'm remember it correctly. They just gave it back to the deputies.
