Hey y’all, Amber here. I’m excited to share that my husband and I recently moved back to Florida, so you may notice things look a little different! It was quite the adventure with our resident dogs, the FCRR farm animals and of course, Sprout and Parker 😅 but everyone made it safe and sound! We’re grateful to have found an amazing property here and the animals are in heaven.
As for the future of FCRR, nothing is changing! We have a fantastic network in Charlotte and will continue our rescue efforts with the help of our incredible fosters, volunteers and partners. Once we’re settled in here, we intend to expand the farm sanctuary and eventually focus on hospice fosters, which are near and dear to my heart.
We look forward to carrying on our purpose and as always, we’re incredibly grateful for your support.

[Adoptable] Bucket might just be the cutest thing we’ve ever seen! She’s snuggly, sweet and SO smart! She’s doing great with house training and in just a few short weeks she’s already learned sit, shake (with both paws!) spin and more. Bucket is super playful and enjoys other dogs but she’s also perfectly content hanging with her humans.

We’re so excited to share that Habanero is officially available for adoption!

This adorably smooshy little girl had a rough start to life but you wouldn’t know it. She’s happy as can be, and loves everyone she meets - dogs, rambunctious kids, even the vet! She’s ~4.5 months old and a big girl at 35+lbs. Habanero has lots of puppy energy and enjoys zooming around the yard (not gracefully) and wrestling with the other dogs. She’s super smart and has already learned sit, down, come, heel, play dead and more!

If you aren’t familiar with her story, Habanero came to us at 3.5 weeks old, after suffering a skull fracture from being attacked by her mom. She recovered nicely, but later started having frequent seizures and was hospitalized as a result.

We’re happy to report she’s responded great to medication, and her seizures have been very well managed. It’s important for her future adopter to understand that she’ll need to remain on the anti-seizure meds indefinitely (~$30/month) and will need to see the vet regularly as she’s still growing, so her dose can be adjusted accordingly.

If you’re interested in adopting an incredibly sweet and deserving pup, please visit our website to review our requirements and submit an application.

Tabitha is just as smart as she is spunky! This adorable little lady is ~11 weeks old and is doing fantastic with training. Her foster says she’s super smart and eager to please. Tabitha enjoys treats, playtime (she’s learning to fetch!) and pestering her foster brother. How can you not fall in love with that sweet face!?

If you’re interested in adopting, visit our website to review our requirements and submit an application. We have quite a few pups that aren’t listed on our website yet but will be available for adoption soon!

P E P P E R 🖤
4.5 month old GSP/Heeler mix, currently 20lbs
True to her breeds, Pepper is a smart, high energy, loyal and affectionate pup. She’s been attending training classes where she’s already learned several commands, she walks nicely on leash and she’s doing great with potty training. Pepper’s ideal adopter is someone familiar with her breeds and dedicated to providing her with lots of physical and mental exercise.

This sweet, spunky girl will be available for adoption very soon. Visit our website to apply!

This handsome fella is just over a year old and ~50lbs. Yoshi is sweet, silly and adventurous. He loves hiking, swimming and snuggling and enjoys being close to his people. He has a fair amount of energy and would be best suited someone who’s very active, preferably with a fenced yard, as he really likes spending time exploring outside.

When he came to FCRR Yoshi was in rough shape, and it was clear he’d never been given the time of day. With patience, love and structure he’s come SUCH a long way. He’s house trained, crate trained, knows quite a few commands and walks nicely on leash. He’s very well behaved but he’s also a typical “teenager” who tends to forget his manners sometimes, and needs an adopter that will enforce the rules. He’s smart and very food motivated, which makes training easy!

If you’re looking for an adorable adventure buddy, Yoshi is your guy!

Donations needed 🙏🏼

Habanero and her brother Chili came to us at 3 weeks old after mama started attacking her puppies. As a result, Habanero had a fractured skull. She recovered well and had been doing great until last week, when she had a seizure.

Last night, she unfortunately had multiple seizures within a few hours. She was rushed to the ER where she was hospitalized for monitoring and treatment. So far, she’s responding well to and the plan is to start tapering the meds she’s receiving via infusion to see how she does. Treatment is costly, but she’s a fighter and she deserves a chance. Please consider donating if you’re able and please keep Habanero and her fosters in your thoughts.

$5 Friday! Today was vet day for (most of) the farm animals, and it was a busy one! Our total for today was $854. Donations of any amount (even $5) are always much appreciated!

Cornbread (pictured) had his annual exam, vaccines and teeth floated. This is a routine dental procedure that involves filing down a horse’s teeth to smooth sharp edges, helping to prevent cuts/ulcers and improve chewing and digestion. CB is not a fan of being handled and vet visits are often super stressful for all involved, but he did so well today! Very proud of him!

Vince, Van, Pumpernickel and Baxter (goats) all had their annual exams and vaccines. Baxter seems to be struggling with some urinary discomfort again, but that didn’t stop him from giving us a run for our money. Trying to catch and hold a ~200lb goat that doesn’t want to cooperate is *fun* 😅 He got some pain meds to help with his discomfort and we’ll continue to monitor him carefully.

Kirby Jo (pictured) was a star patient. She loaded right into her crate so we could carry her onto the truck, sat on the scale (kicking myself for not getting a better photo of that because it was adorable) and showed off all her tricks. She wasn’t very happy about holding still for her vaccines, but she still did great. She’s just over 34lbs 🥹 and a very healthy little lady.

Huge thanks to ! They’re always kind, personable, thorough and very patient with these crazy critters.
