Takoda

I am the fist rescue in 16 Hands of Love's herd.  I picked my name which means "Friend to Everyone" in the Sioux Native American language, which helps me to remember to be a strong yet compassionate leader of the entire herd.  I am able to see your Truth and will help you to see and honor it as well. 

Maggie

I am the grandmother spirit of the herd.  I hold the deep understanding of logic, respect and calmness.  Once you spend time with me you can't help but begin to embody these traits and pay them forward to our world. 

Gizmo

I am the grandfather spirit of the herd.  Nothing scares or bothers me, even when others try and bully me because of my age, I just keep giving Love.  I truly exhibit the concept of "turn the other cheek" and can help anyone who is willing to learn this trait along with many more beautiful gifts I posses.

Buster

I lead our goat herd with love and strength.  I am the only goat in the herd who still has his momma to love and support him (Jenny Ann) and I got my name because I love to butt my head against things and I also give great back rubs, hence I am Buster.

Jenny Ann

I am one of the elders of the herd and love caring for my son (Buster) and helping him to protect the herd.  Once you earn my trust I will protect and care for you too.  My greatest strength is helping those who visit to learn patience and perseverance in earning my attention and trust.

Daisy Mae

I am sometimes the outcast of the herd which makes me a great healer for those who might experience that in their life.  I love my uniqueness and show others how to love that trait within themselves.

Dipper

My quiet strength helps to balance the herd.  I am a healthy combination of inquisitiveness, shyness, playfulness and strength.  I help others to see and find these strengths within themselves.

Mabel

I am one of the largest of the goat herd but never abuse my power.  I watch over, comfort and protect the elderly in the herd.  I do not hesitate to point out when someone is too pushy and can offer the gift to those who are willing to learn of exuding a humble confidence.

Trevor

I am the wise leader of the goat herd, I have learned with age that I do not have to lead with fear but with love, confidence and compassion.  I love to share my gifts with everyone I meet and many can't help but love me too.  I also give great back rubs with my strong horns.

Toby

I am quiet yet confident and help others to find similar strengths within themselves, not only in humans but also with other goats in the herd.  I took Mabel and Dipper under my care when their mother passed.  I am also the only rescued show goat and am grateful for my life.  

George

My job is to live on the land with the goats and to protect the herd from predators.  I also love to play with the humans that come to visit.  I am extremely intelligent, loving and loyal.

Sasha

Many will probably never see me as I am very shy but I am there hiding in the hay loft watching and learning.  I am also very smart as I am a true barn cat and help keep critters out of the hay and know to keep myself safe from hawks and other predators.  I can help others in learning how to keep themselves safe too.
