Story
We know very little about this dog other than the observations we have made while it has been in our possession. She came out of a hoarding situation And had been kept in a crate. She has not been around children nor has she been in the house so I am unable to answer those queries. She barks As you approach the kennel, then as soon as you enter, she is on her back, begging for a belly rub and it’s very affectionate. This dog is located in Parsons Tennessee. Should she be adopted in Tennessee We will provide transportation. If she is adopted out of state transportation will be the responsibility of the adopter. The Adopter will also have to complete the wags and whiskers adoption form. If you have further questions, contact Kristen at 615-957-1761.

Story
Barnabas was found in the ditch of a busy highway. He had not been here and had no injuries other than those related to being both starving and very very cold. It was the dead of winter in Tennessee was experiencing a very unusual cold spell. We were able to save him and give him a new outlook on life. He had never seen a ceiling and was very concerned about it. It was quite comical as we kept him in the house until he was back on his feet (Literally as he was unable to walk when we received him.) he is currently a very happy and healthy Dog. He is up-to-date on all his vaccines and has been neutered. He is not good on the leash. He was trained to follow his nose and lead his master. He loves children, is scared of cats, and gets along great with other dogs. If you have interest in Barnabas and have questions, contact Kristan at 615– 957–1761. We are in Parsons, Tennessee, and if he is adopted within the state, We will provide transportation. Out of state adopters will be responsible for the cost and arrangement of his transportation.

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Red (as we call him) came to us Thanksgiving morning 2024 severally malnourished. He looks to be around a year old or younger, he has been taught to sit and was possibly an inside dog. We already have 4 dogs and 2 cats and simply cannot afford his care as well. Our other dogs do not get along with him either so he is simply not a good fit for our home. He is very loving and sweet. He is leery of men but takes well to females as my step daughter and I have no problems getting him to do as we want. He would be a great guard dog as he already protects our property after only being here a week. He has starting gaining weight and will be a big boy. We would like to find him a great home. Update as of 12/13, we have gotten him neutered, shots and wormed. We have still tried to work with him and our female pit but to no avail. He is still free to a good home and I think he would be good with kids although he is rambunctious. He loves attention and really is a good boy.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bailey has the face of a Beagle and the legs of a gazelle. He is trained to use a pet door and has been accident-free since arriving here. He's a sweet little boy that needs a family who will help boost his confidence. We think he's around 2 years old and he is healthy and ready to travel now. He seems to be afraid of men so a home with females or smaller quiet males would be best for him and another friendly dog would also help him feel more comfortable. If you're interested in welcoming Bailey or any of our Funny Farm friends into your home, please visit funnyfarmpets.org to learn more about our Tennessee-based rescue, the adoption process, the comprehensive vetting procedures these pets undergo before they come to your home, and to submit an adoption application. The adoption fee for this pet is $325, and an additional $200 is required for transport. Currently located in a foster home in Tennessee, this pet will be transported to a northern location after the adoption process is finalized. For details on meeting locations and the transport process, please visit the transport tab at funnyfarmpets.org

Story
Meet our local celebrity, Dora the Explorer! Dora is around 3 years old and she weighs around 58 lbs. Dora was spotted for over 1 year traveling a wide area and numerous concerned citizens became concerned that Dora had lost her way and her family. A group of volunteers made it their mission to rescue Dora. After being caught it was evident that at some point she had a family that loved her because she knew many commands and was proving to be a very intelligent girl. Dora is very playful. She bonds to her humans very quickly and would just love to be a couch potato when she is not out in the yard entertaining herself or having fun playing fetch. Her foster family has several older dogs and Dora seems fine with them, however, Dora would do great as well, as a single dog family because she loves her people! Any questions about her can be answered by her foster mom and we can put you in touch with her. Dora is ready to travel when the perfect home is found for her.
