HOC Rose Team

 

Kari Belevender 

Founder/Director

Kari is Deaf and has loved animals since she was a little girl. Her grandparents lived on a hobby farm (horses, cows, cats and dog).  Her grandma would always take her to her friend’s houses to see new arrivals or visit animals. 

She fostered for Oats Rescue and Ruff Start Rescue for few years until she decided to start HOC Rose Sanctuary Rescue. HOC Rose Sanctuary Rescue is located on their 10 acres hobby farm.
