Story

This girl is 26 pounds of energy and love. She had to be captured by the local animal control officer and was prettified. She was lunging and growling and very upset. But something in her eye just pleaded for me to help her. So I picked her up from the shelter and brought her home where George (our cat) helped me show her that humans and other animals are good. George helped her calm down and let her guard down and after about an hour she was giving me lots of kisses. She is hilarious and is definitely a lover. She may need a couple of minutes to feel safe, but once she does, she is glued to you. She is extremely smart, loves to go for rides, walks and hikes or any adventure (we went kayaking) She prefers not to be left alone as she does have some separation anxiety. This little girl is ready for her happily ever after. Please visit funnyfarmpets.org to read all about our TN based rescue and how the adoption process works. Her adoption fee is $325 and if transport is necessary that is an additional $200 We are hoping to find her someone local to TN. She is a special girl who will need a special mom or dad to navigate through her fears. I may end up writing a book about her as she has given me lots of great stories.

Justice

Australian Cattle Dog Australian Terrier

Story

Justice is ready!!!! He is 48 pounds of pure delight. He loves all people and all dogs. He loves kids and would love a fun active family. He loves to go for walks, hikes, swims and he loves to ride in the car or the side by side. He does chase the cows and horses so we don't recommend a home with anything he chases. If you have an adult dog and want another adult that will 100% get along, this is your guy. We think he was born about January of 23 so he is a perfect age. He loves to fetch and have belly rubs and is finished with that destructive puppy phase of life yet he has a puppy attitude. He is so very sweet and a fun guy. If you think you are fun and active enough for this guy you will need to visit our website at funnyfarmpets.org to read all about our rescue and how the adoption and transport process works and to submit the application. He is fostered in TN and will travel once his adoption is finalized. His adoption fee is $325 and transport is an additional $200. He is fully vetted, happy and ready to join his forever family. This sweet boy was found on the Supreme Court steps. Apparently he was seeking justice for his past treatment. He is badly scarred and very thin but oh so sweet and friendly. He is on antibiotics now and getting all the grub he needs. He loves other dogs and is very sweet and gentle. He appears young. Maybe about a year old. He is only 36 pounds now but needs to gain at least 10 pounds. He will be a perfect medium size dog who will be a great addition to almost any home.

Story

Dixie is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest girl that will just melt your heart. She had an unfortunate beginning to what should have been a happy life but sadly she found herself tied up outside not allowed inside her family's home (due to supposed family allergies) where she was supposed to be considered a cherished part of the family. Living a tied up life is no life for a dog so we're thrilled to have her in our rescue so that we can find the perfect home for this precious girl. Dixie is gorgeous. She can be shy upon first meeting, endearingly scooting slowly towards you to make close contact just yearning for acceptance. She looks to her caregivers here for guidance and reassurance. She simply wants to be loved. She'll flop over on her back showing you her tummy as if to say, "I surrender, I surrender, just please love me!" She will bond quickly with her new family and will quickly prove to be a loyal companion. Dixie being true to the blue heeler breed, is smart and would really thrive in an active outdoorsy home - she'd be a great hiking companion. She's eager to please and to learn new things so she'll be easy to train. She's shy sometimes meeting other dogs but warms up and enjoys running free with them. She also did fine with the cat we introduced her to, allowing the cat the space it asked for. Dixie is up to date with vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. She's currently around 28 lbs with an estimated birth date of 11/15/23. If this sweet girl speaks to your heart, please email us for an application at adoptions@smilingdogfarms.org Please note we are always in need of foster homes for our dogs, Marissa included. If interested in making a difference in a dog's life, we would love to share with you what it means to be a foster parent. Foster homes greatly increase the chances of speedier adoptions and you'd be making a huge, positive difference in the life of an animal who needs you.
