Hi world, I’m Elsa. I’m the real Elsa but fully support princess Elsa in Frozen👸. I was a super momma who took great care of my 12 puppies until Gofar rescued us. I guess I’m super sweet, friendly, happy girl with all my humans at the shelter. I can be dog selective so if my human has a doggy sibling for me we just need to have a meet and greet. I’m estimated to be around 2 years old and weigh 56 pounds. Not sure of my mix but guessing some black & tan coonhound with possible some Doberman. I walk great on leash with you and if you ask me to sit I do. As a plus when I sit if you give me a treat I take it very gently. You can be my human for $50 right now thanks to clear the shelters.

❤️‍🩹 MEET SWEETIE - YOUNG BABY WITH SEVERE SKIN CONDITION❤️‍🩹
Sweetie has left the Miami Dade Animal Services Building and went straight to our vet. She is a young girl under a year old and has clearly lived a crappy life, but that hasn't dampened her spirit one bit. She has a very severe case of demodex and hot spots yet, she is a very sweet, happy girl. We are going to heal her up and find her a loving family ✅ 🥰

Meet our little miss Cardi B. Cardi B loves her walks and shakes like a professional on the leash. She’s very much a girl’s girl and would need time to warm up to men who have the patience to let her gain her trust. Probably best in a home without kids as we’ve not been able to access her around them. Right now Cardi B can be adopted for $50 thanks to the clear the shelters. If you want the best walker who loves to shake it she’s your girl.

🆘 TRIGGER WARNING - INJURED DOG RUSHED TO ER VET 🆘
We certainly are not looking for another major medical case, but OMG 🥲 The second photo will get blurred out, but this poor dog has a wide gaping wound on its side from shoulder nearly to tail. Begging and crying for help, there was no time to waste - rushed straight to for immediate care. Right now all we know is there is no microchip. On the eve of GivingTuesday, there were no other options for this innocent soul and we just can't turn our backs. We see how many folks are answering our call for help with medical bills with our Giving Tuesday fundraiser, but if you haven't donated yet, here's another opportunity to make a difference this year. There are a lot of worthy causes out there, we know, but we need you too and this baby is just one more example why.

❤️‍🩹 LATEST UPDATE ON KAHLANI - RECOVERING FROM MASSIVE SURGERY ❤️‍🩹
Kahlani was living on the streets and found in horrible condition with lumps all over and some that had burst. She was blasted on social media, but NO ONE was stepping up to help her-we couldn't leave her out there to suffer. We feared it was cancer, but the vet indicated the tumors were operable. She required a radical mastectomy (removal of all mammary glands and surrounding lymph nodes) and removal of the various masses that have and have not burst as well as spay due to concern of a pyometra (fatal uterine infection if untreated). This surgery was over 6 hours with countless stitches - it is a LOT for this girl to endure, but the surgery was successful and she is still at the vet recovering. Her current bill is $4,214 and she is not ready for release yet. She is still very leary of humans, understandably, but we are told that she is making some progress with the vet staff. This is a huge bill for this poor girl who suffered so long without any love, but once we commit to an animal, we do what we need to do to get that animal healthy and adopted into a loving home. We truly need help with this bill. We appreciate every dollar donated towards Kahlani's surgery and recovery 🙏

❤LATEST UPDATE ON KINA – DUMPED IN MDAS PLAYYARD – SEIZURES❤
Kina was released and is now with a wonderful foster 🥰 Kina was found terrified in a play yard at animal services – dumped there sometime during the night. Once contained, she experienced a grand mal seizure. We pulled her and rushed her to the ER vet where her seizures were brought under control using IV meds. She was released and needs to be on oral meds, likely for rest of her life. But she is the sweetest little 9lb girl around 2 years old. Her world was turned upside down, but she is adjusting to her new normal and we will be looking for her forever home that can care for her ongoing medical needs soon! Kina's ER bill was $1,573 (see bill in comments). To DONATE towards Kina’s bill, please see below:

❗🐾 OUR EMPTY THE SHELTERS EVENT STARTS SUNDAY DEC 1ST - $50 ADOPTION FEES FOR MANY OF OUR AMAZING ADOPTABLES 🐾❗
We have partnered with Bissell Pet Foundation for the December Empty the Shelters Event! Starting tomorrow through December 17th, the adoption fee for many of our adult animals and older kittens will be reduced to $50, some even fully sponsored at zero! That fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, spay/neuter, HW or FELV/FIV test when applicable and microchip 😱 All animals eligible for the reduced fee will be clearly identified in their profiles on our website at www.gofar.dog under "ADOPT" starting tomorrow and we will likely be adding animals eligible for this promotion as we move thru this window. Adopters must submit an adoption application to secure an appointment during the event, so do not wait! If you are looking for a best friend, you can submit a general pre-application at our website www.gofar.dog under "ADOPT" (be as specific as possible about what you are looking for in your new pack member). Hope to get homes for lots of our so deserving fur babies for Christmas 🥰
Thank you BISSELL Pet Foundation for sponsoring our pawsome adoptable animals for this event 🙏🐾❤

💙🐾HAPPY FRI-YAY GOTCHA DAY!!🐾💙
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We're always thankful for our adopters who open their hearts & homes for our animals and this week we had 15 total adoptions, with 9 🐕 doggies and 6 🐈kitties finding their furever 🏠homes! 🥁HAPPY TAILS & SWEET BONE DREAMS TO:
💛 Carmelo and H***h – 2 of 6 puppies surrendered by owner and literally survived being in a hot, dark trunk for 45 minutes—this is how they were transported to us! One still available for adoption!
💛 Milo – Abandoned on a lanai and was pretty much feral. It has taken a LONG time for him to trust humans-nearly a year. He was brought into one of our volunteer’s homes to continue to socialize him and he is now a foster fail!
💛Gentle Giants Duke and Stormy – Duke’s world was turned upside down when surrendered by his owner who could no longer care for him and Stormy was pulled from a county shelter in awful condition. We are so happy for these two!
💛 Mr Incredible – Friendly guy surrendered to our vet as no longer wanted by owner
💛 Baby Charlie – Owner passed away and this little guy had nowhere to go
💛 Layla – Sweet little girl surrendered by her owner who could no longer care for her
💛Romeo – Found as a stray, but microchipped. Owner had given this little guy to an acquaintance who then abandoned him
💛And our fabulous felines of the week: Veronikat, Furaiser, Cattitude, Tabbytha, Domino and Pawsanova

❤️‍🩹🙏LATEST UPDATE ON HONEY - SWEET GIRL RIDDLED W/BUCKSHOT🙏 ❤️‍🩹
Our last update talked about Honey's surgery to remove her toe, necrotic tissue and as many bone fragments and pellets as possible. There was concern about the large amount of necrotic damage and whether she would lose another toe which then makes balance difficult. We have great news today -- the surgeon believes that her second toe can be saved and the tissue is granulating well to fill in the gaping wounds that remain after removal of the necrotic tissue. Here is a video where we are able to see her walking finally ❗️❤ She still has a LONG road ahead, but not only is she worth it, but she is putting up one heck of a fight to recover from these horrific injuries. Thank you to those who have already donated for Honey- we are in this for the long haul with her. There is a still a GIVING TUESDAY matching donor who has offered up to $7K to help pay down our medical bills and we still have a ways to go to earn that match. Please DONATE towards Honey's medical bill growing every single day until she is released. For your donation to be eligible for the match, pease see below. If you can’t donate, PLEASE SHARE!

🙏🌟SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR🌟🙏
Every year we reflect back and are amazed at what we've accomplished and the number of animals we've saved and placed in loving homes. Most importantly, we think about everyone who has made this possible. We have so much to be thankful for from our fosters, adopters, supporters, donors and of course, our volunteers. This year, we have been blessed beyond anything we could have ever imagined. 🐾🚚Our transport van was a true blessing and we are so very fortunate and thankful for everyone who donated toward it and made it a reality. Most recently, GOFAR became the recipient of an extremely generous, life-changing grant from Tom Golisano and The Golisano Foundation 🙏💕 We are beyond blessed and words cannot begin to express how grateful we are!! This year we have a little bit more to be thankful for and we hope you do too!☺️💛💙
🦃HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!🦃 The Golisano Foundation

💔🐾SUPER SWEET NALA – DECLAWED AND SUFFERING🐾💔
We pulled Nala into our rescue after seeing her sad story. She is about the sweetest cat you would ever want to meet, but she has been suffering in silence for years. She was brought to animal services for not eating and burns to her paws. Upon examination they quickly determined that the injuries to all 4 paws were consistent with self-mutilation. She was previously declawed on all her paws (amputation of the first joint-a cruel procedure) and she is now suffering severe neuropathic pain. This, unfortunately, is a common consequence of this awful procedure. What is worse, the person that performed this, left behind remnants of the bone on one of her digits causing year’s worth of embedded nail wrapped in skin requiring the huge nail to be surgically removed. We have been continuing her care and recovery since we picked her up and she is making progress. Despite all of her pain, she is a loving sweetheart begging for attention and comfort. We are making sure she gets everything she needs to someday live in a loving home without pain.

🙏😞SENIOR GSD NEEDED OUT TODAY - HE IS WITH US NOW 😞🙏
Thiago landed at Palm Beach Animal Control. This poor guy is around 10 years old and only 57 lbs - very underweight - hookworm infected and has very poor coat quality with patches of missing fur. His deadline for a rescue commitment was today - we just couldn’t let him leave this world in such a cold way, so we pulled him into our family. He is very sweet, calm boy and has love and life to give!
