Lucy
Goat - 3 Years (rescued in Sept. 2020) My former owner rescued me and I was able to be of service in their therapy sessions. Once the business was sold, there wasn't room for me at the new home so my owner wanted to find a home for me that allowed me to continue serving humanity. I get to do that at 16 Hands of Love and am a unique addition to their herd in that I keep everyone on their toes. I was the leader in my other herd and felt I had to constantly protect as it was just me and the other goat, I am now learning that I can trust my new goat herd family to protect each other as a unit. I offer that in my lessons to others as well. |
Brimley
Goat - 5 Years (rescued in Sept. of 2020) I came with Lucy, we both served as a part of a therapy program that had to part ways and we needed a new home, ideally one that would allow us to continue to serve and give our gifts. My former owner knew of the perfect place for me and now I get to continue to touch lives of those who meet me at 16 Hands of Love. I am a quiet but curious soul. When you look in my eyes you see my depth and truth and somehow know that all is well in the world. |
Bailey
Goat - 1 Year (rescued in Feb. of 2020) My first experiences in life were living in the FFA / goat show world. I did very well, so well that they wanted to keep me for breeding purposes but my show owner decided that my life might be better spent by joining the herd at 16 Hands of Love and offering my gifts to the world in a different way. When I first joined the herd I was shy and hesitant as I wasn't sure about life and the goings on of things but I've become braver and stronger each day and now I help others to trust that gentle and quiet confidence as we all bloom and flower in our own unique timing.

The Girls
Hens (rescued in 2019) We bring a sense of playfulness to the herd and barn atmosphere. There are no boundaries for us as we can squeeze through fences and fly where we need to go so we can visit you even in the "no animal zone." We love to explore you and see what you're snacking on and bring out your brave and playful side in allowing us to share space with you. We are probably some of the most curious ones in the bunch and invite you to come explore your curiosity and visit us!

Daisy
Dog - 4 Years Old (rescued in Dec. of 2017) My job is to also live on the land and protect the herd. I’ve only known this my entire life and absolutely LOVE running around the pasture, getting dirty and protecting the herd from birds and other fun things! My joy is contagious; I bring a breath of fresh air to anyone I meet. My former owner loved me very much but couldn’t give me the job that I needed so they found me my forever home at 16 Hands of Love.

Wednesday & York
~ Barn Cats ~ (Rescued in Nov. of 2020) We are new to 16 Hands of Love as of yet and are still learning that this is our home and that we will be safe and loved.
We were found on the streets by the League City Animal Shelter and taken into their Barn Cat Rescue Program, which is how 16 Hands of Love found us. We are slowly being adapted to the barn and once we settle in we will learn that we have a forever home and lots of mice to play with or catch. |
Freedom
~ Horse - 14 Years Old ~ (rescued in Nov. 2020) I am exactly as my name says. Free.
Free from the fear of being sold for my meat and free from the bondages of growing life inside of me over and over again just to have it taken from me time and time again. I was found a day before I was booked to have my life ended and could not be more grateful to have a new home in 16 Hands of Love. I am curious but cautious and am still settling in to my new space and learning to trust again. That is what I can offer you, the chance to learn to trust and love again. |
