My name is Genesis but everyone calls me "Gen". My name means "beginnings or origin" I was named after the first book of the Bible. This book unfolds the record of the beginning of the world. It is the story of God's purpose and plan for his creation. I have many purposes at the Rising Hope. First and foremost is to be a companion to the riders that visit each week to the farm. I love rubbing against their legs because that always results in a pat on my head or a rub down my back. I also love the volunteers; they are so sweet to me and allow me to sleep on their laps as they are resting. My most fun thing to do is to tease Buddy. I try to stay safely away from the hoofs of the horses, but I do jump on the top rail of the fence so the horses and I can nose each other. I am not a lazy cat; I work hard catching mice and keep snakes away from the barn. Sleeping on the straw in the loft is so cozy after a hard day of mice catching. I stop by Noah's cage occasionally and give him a kiss. We all get along nicely at the farm. Please come see me when you can and feel how soft my hair is as you rub my back!!!!
My name is Buddy, I am a Syrian Husky. I have been a part of the Wartner family for 7 years. They adopted me when I was a puppy. I am full of energy and my two favorite things are being walked and being petted by the people who come out to the farm. Sometimes, I am part of the therapy process. I howl when someone tells me to speak, and sit when I think I will get a treat. I love the attention that the therapists, volunteers, and riders give me. The scripture verse that I am associated with is John 15: 13 where Jesus speaks about being a friend. I want to be that friend (Buddy) to everyone who visits the farm.
My name is Balaam (Numbers 22:21-39). I am a Miniature donkey and named after Balaam's donkey in the Bible. The only place in the Bible that an animal speaks. I was donated to the farm in November 2009 by Janice and Blake Sigmon. My closest friend is "Heaven" the Clydesdale. I run underneath him when I'm scared and he protects me. I always stay close to my friend "Heaven." Especially when "Heaven" eat oats, I stand under his mouth catching the oats he drops with my tongue. I love the attention the children give me. I am very small, so I can look at most of the riders eye to eye.
My name is Noah the rabbit and my fur is really soft!
