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, s***ky 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.

[Adoptable Bart]
This little guy is adorable, curious and full of s***k! He loves everyone he meets, humans and dogs alike, and tries like heck to keep up with the big dogs. He has lots of energy and enjoys wrestling with his foster siblings, rifling through the toy bin and stealing the occasional slipper. He’s a busy body, but he’s also super affectionate and loves to snuggle.

Bart is an 11 week old pittie mix, expected to be medium-large when fully grown. If you’re looking for a confident, social pup that would love to accompany you on adventures, this is your guy.

Happy Gotcha Day Jubilee Jade aka The Creature. We’ve officially survived FOUR years of non-stop shenanigans. Born deaf and blind, Jubi is the most capable dog I’ve ever met. She’s honestly too smart for her own good. Fiercely independent yet seriously clingy. Silly but sensitive. Watching her take on the world with such confidence and determination is incredibly rewarding and at times, incredibly challenging. She requires an immense amount of patience and it’s not because she needs help, it’s because she figures it out on her own, usually very quickly. Her life motto is “where there’s a will, there’s a way” and she doesn’t let anything stand in her way. She makes us laugh every single day. She’s one of a kind and we couldn’t love her more 🤍

Happy National Pitbull Awareness Day from the Simpsons litter 💛 Homer, Marge, Bart & Lisa are 8 weeks old - s***ky, loving, cute as can be and ready to find their forever homes!

Welcome, little ones. At 3.5 weeks old, these two have already been through so much in their short lives. Their mama had a “home” where she was kept outside in a junkyard, and that’s where she was raising her puppies. For unknown reasons, she started attacking them and sadly, several of the pups didn’t make it. The remainder were surrendered to the shelter, one with noticeable injuries, and it was determined she has a fractured skull. With the help of antibiotics and pain meds, her physical wounds are expected to heal. At this time, we aren’t sure if she has any long term brain damage that will affect her quality of life. Only time will tell and we’re hoping for the best.

So far, both pups are doing very well. Chili (male, darker) is a sweet, easy going boy. He hardly makes a peep and he’s very affectionate. Chili’s routine is more or less “eat, sleep, repeat.” On the other hand, his sister is a busy body. We named her Habanero because girlfriend is *spicy.* She likes to voice her opinion, she’s fiercely independent and obviously very resilient.

We’re hopeful these two have long, healthy lives ahead of them and we’re glad we could give them a fighting chance. Stay tuned for updates!

[Adoptable] Dusty came to us after he was surrendered to the shelter with ten other senior dogs. He was thin, a little shy and not interested in much. Watching him come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding and now he’s ready for the perfect forever home, where he’ll be loved and spoiled in his golden years.
Dusty is affectionate, silly, and low key. He spends most of his time burrowing in his bed/blankets (he takes nesting very seriously) or exploring the yard. We aren’t sure of his age but he’s definitely an older fella with very little, if any, vision. It doesn’t stop him from getting what he wants which is usually to be held, or to eat. He doesn’t have a whole lot of teeth but that doesn’t slow him down. He’s 6lbs but he has the appetite of a 60lb dog 🤣 If you’re looking for an itty bitty, easy senior, this is your guy!

[Adoptable] Bambi is a tiny little thing with a big ole personality. She’s smart, independent, confident and busy - the epitome of “puppy energy.” She’s doing well with house and crate training and picks up on things very quickly.
Bambi’s breed(s) are unknown but at 4-5 months old she’s fairly petite at just 13lbs. Despite her tiny size she can hold her own! Her ideal adopter will provide her with plenty of exercise and structure. She’d love a fur sibling that doesn’t mind her rowdy play style but she’d do great as an only dog too.
