Adoptable Bruster spent his first few months living in a dirty crate inside a cold garage. Now he wears sweaters, has an abundance of toys and spends every evening snuggled up with his foster family on the couch. Bru is a social butterfly who wants to be friends with everyone. Despite his big size, he’s a total squish who just wants to be near you, make you laugh with his clumsy charm, and soak up all the love he can get. If you’re looking for a goofy, fun-loving pup, this sweet boy might be your perfect match.

Meet Bluey, a 12-week old pup with a heart as big as her zoomies!

Bluey is equal parts cuddle and crazy—the perfect blend of snuggly sweetness and playful puppy energy. She has exactly two speeds: stop and go. When she’s on the move, she’s all in: running, romping, exploring, and making friends with absolutely everyone. And when she’s done? She melts into the nearest lap for a well-earned nap.

She adores other dogs and is respectful of older or fussier pups who prefer their space. She’s also polite and gentle with cats, and she loves humans of every size and age. Bluey dreams of a family who will laugh at her antics and appreciate her snuggles. If you’re looking for a speckled bestie who brings joy, silliness, and softness in one adorable package 🎁 this is your girl.

Fridays at the farm 🌾
Reggie is 30 days post-op and overall, doing well! He’s still on antibiotics to hopefully eliminate any ongoing infection and his incision is healing nicely. He’s been separated from the ponies since his surgery but now that he’s mostly healed, we moved him back over. I thought he would be really excited to see his little buddies because they’ve been calling back and forth to each other every day but it was very anticlimactic 😆 a quick greeting and they all went right back to grazing. Looking forward to sharing more updates on his progress in the future. Thank you all again for the love and support for our big guy!

Happy Gotcha Day, Jubilee Jade 🖤Five years ago a teeny tiny, deaf and blind puppy came into our lives..and she came in like a wrecking ball. She quickly learned commands, how to walk on leash and how to navigate our home. She also learned how to open the cabinets and doors, jump the gates and escape her crate. It didn’t take much time for her to earn the nickname The Creature but it did take nine long, exhausting months before she finally slept through the night for the first time. She started with an all pink nose and now has exactly 5 freckles. Each year she gets one new freckle and I get a bunch of new gray hairs thanks to her antics 😆 Jubilee is resourceful, inquisitive and ridiculously smart. She loves to explore and does so with an alarming amount of confidence. She also loves to steal things. She’s excitable and energetic and makes a game out of everything. She has to be touching someone at all times and *must* be as close as physically possible. It’s honestly really hard to describe her - she’s interesting and unique and unlike any other dog I’ve ever met. Five years later and I’m still in awe of her. Watching her navigate the world the way she does, literally and figuratively, is nothing short of remarkable.

Reggie says THANK YOU all for the love and support! He had exploratory surgery at UF on Wednesday and they didn’t find a foreign body after all. However, they did remove substantial amount of infected tissue from his inner thigh/groin area. He was discharged Friday evening and he’s doing well so far. I can’t believe how well he’s getting around considering . These guys are so stoic. He’s on quite a few meds and his surgical site has to be hosed and flushed daily, which he (understandably) doesn’t enjoy. That hasn’t been fun for either of us, but if it were the minis I guarantee I’d have been kicked already 😅
The next few weeks will be telling. We can’t say definitively what the source of the infection was/is, so we also don’t know whether or not it’ll fully resolve. We’re hoping for the best and as always, we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has donated, shared or sent well wishes.

Coming to you all with a big ask for a big guy 🙏🏼 We need to get him to UF, where he can be seen by a specialist, and donations are needed. As we’ve shared in the past, Reggie came to us with a mysterious infection in his groin area which we’ve been monitoring closely. He has a scar in his rear end where it looks like he was impaled at some point in time and there’s suspicion he may have a foreign object (splinter, piece of fencing etc). We’ve done multiple rounds of antibiotics and the infection improves but ultimately comes back. It hasn’t seemed to bother him overall and his bloodwork has been relatively normal. Out of the blue he’s developed massive swelling, so much that he’s having trouble walking. I’ll spare you the details but the infection is draining from numerous areas that aren’t very pleasant and he’s very uncomfortable.
He was started on meds immediately and after discussing with multiple vets, our only option is to humanely euthanize or haul him to UF where they’re fully equipped to treat him. The infection is in a very sensitive area with a lot of arteries and blood vessels. Between that and his age/size, there’s no way to safely sedate, evaluate, or treat him in a field setting.
We’re looking at $350 to haul him to UF, which I am covering personally. $800 for diagnostics and an evaluation with then surgeon. If he is a candidate for surgery, that would ultimately require more funds.
I realize this is a big ask. There’s a possibility we get him there and they say there’s nothing that can be done, or maybe it turns out he needs a surgery that isn’t safe and/or feasible but at the very least, he deserves a chance. He’s a fighter and he’s come such a long way in just three months, I can’t just give up on him.
He’s scheduled to go in Tuesday and we’re hoping to at least raise the initial $800 by then. For now, we’re praying the meds bring him some temporary relief and that we have an uneventful weekend 🙏🏼

Adopted!

Mama Brie came to us in horrible shape (see last photo) with her six nursing puppies. Despite the condition she was in, she took amazing care of them and has been loving and trusting from day one. All of the little cheeses have been adopted and this beautiful girl is ready for a forever home of her very own.
Brie is 2-3 years old and super easy going. Her foster describes her as sweet, snuggly and playful. She’s house trained, crate trained, great on leash and friendly with people and other dogs. She enjoys walks, playing with toys and other dogs but she isn’t overly energetic and is more than happy to chill. Brie is amazing and so easy. She’s going to make someone very happy!
