Hover over one of the animal's pictures to learn more about each of them and their gifts. 

Takoda: I am the first 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. I am rescued from the dressage / competition world.

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. I hold space for those attending events and sessions and help bring in guidance and a sense of calm. I was rescued and found by my first human after falling out of a truck. When she no longer had a herd of goats for me to protect, she knew I needed my job and helped me find my new rescue forever home at 16 Hands of Love.

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 first rescued show goat and am grateful for my life. I often tip my head back to scratch my back and wonder where my horns are.

Daisy: ​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.

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. I was rescued with my brother, Dipper when my mother died after giving birth to us.

Lolly: I lived in a backyard for the first year of my life. My prior owners took me in when no one could care for me. They loved and cared for me well but knew I needed goat friends and more room to roam and graze. My offering to others is to always be open to new experiences. When you think what you have is nice but your heart years for more, follow that nudge and trust the opportunities that come your way. Ask and you shall receive.

Bella: My full of life energy, spunk and charisma are captivating. Come spend time with me and you'll find yourself laughing out loud and seeing life through the eyes of a child again (a goat child that is ;)). My prior owner received me as a show goat and when her plans in life changed and she was no longer able to show me, she was given 5 days to find me a home and here I am. I bring a new life and energy to the herd, come see for yourself!
