I am delivering Copper to our rescue friends today to get him ready for his transport to his adopter. And it is a wild day for the shelter. They just found this dog. If you’re able to donate or help in anyway please do. I also have a surprise to share later 😝 A special dog might be headed back with us today ❤️

For now their direct Venmo is -fratesi

I am currently helping them set up a new website, pet finder account and nonprofit Venmo/PayPal/CashApp. I’ll update their donation info soon.

When we saw this picture on Facebook, our hearts were shattered! This poor boy must have been suffering horribly! We knew we had to help him! He is now in our custody and receiving emergency care at the vet. This is the update we just received from them.

He is 1 1/2 to 2 years old and in CRITICAL condition . He is loaded with hook worms and about dead from blood loss, due to their severity. He has Demodex Mange so bad that the mites are showing up in his stool. They are starting him on an IV, giving him a blood transfusion and treating his infected skin. They do not believe he was poisoned as someone feared.

We have named him Rocky since he’s a fighter! Please pray for him and consider donating towards his care. This will not be cheap, but he’s worth every penny! Donations can be made direct to Greenville Animal Clinic, 1902 Highway 1 South, Greenville, Ms 38701 or mailed to ARRF, PO Box 66, Leland, Ms 38756. We also have Venmo— -fratesi
Thank you!

More good news for y’all! Copper is getting adopted!!!! 👏🏻🎉🤩 If you remember he came here for two weeks of training. Then went to a foster home for a couple weeks. And now he’s back at the farm for a couple days waiting for his transport. He hit the jackpot with an amazing home up north. ❤️ We are so happy for this sweet boy

Rufus and I wanted to give you some good news on this rainy Friday morning. After four weeks of training, zero applications for adoption, and much discussion with All 4s Rescue League we’ve personally agreed to foster Rufus until he gets adopted. Usually we would send him to another foster home (and we had a couple options) but Rufus is a special case. He needs consistency and stability right now. So the next home he goes to we will make sure it’s a FOREVER home. Check for his whole story.

If you’re interested in adopting Rufus (and the sooner he gets adopted the sooner we can help more dogs!!) here’s the checklist…

⭐️ Fenced in yard so he can lay outside in the sun for as long as he wants

⭐️ No other dogs OR a dog Rufus really likes— his adoption includes a training session with Edgar so we can determine this (he likes playful, silly dogs)

⭐️ A kennel in the house as his safe spot

⭐️ A quiet environment with someone who can spend time with Rufus and continue helping him

⭐️ A confident person who wants a really, really happy dog to enjoy life with

Rufus spent his entire life on a chain outside in Memphis. He’s made incredible progress with us. But we want him to continue and be totally successful.

The best word to describe him is…. HAPPY.

That might seem odd given his history. But that’s why dogs are truly special animals. ❤️

Rufus is fully vetted and neutered. His adoption fee is $300.

CALL 662-403-1180 to adopt.

Every once in a while something really special happens… I get surprise gifts in the mail. This is by far my favorite part of running a social media page. There is truly nothing better! A person who follows this page, and has met us before, saw this bag and thought of me. So she bought two of them and mailed it to the farm. It came with a heartwarming card.

I cannot express in words how much this means to me. For someone you barely know to think of you and take the time to send a gift… It’s just truly incredible.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I didn’t know if you want your name on here so I’ll keep it anonymous. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️ I’m just so touched. And I really LOVE this bag!!! Dreams absolutely require wide open spaces 🐎

*In the past we’ve received art, framed photos, toys for Melody (lots of things for Melody lol), and even had bottles of wine dropped off haha. Not to mention our rescue partners who bring us gifts. Thank you to everyone.

As soon as Melody opened her eyes she said, “Jazz!” Jazz is the name of her baby sheep she raised. So all goats and sheep are “Jazz”. 🤣 I said “Do you want to get up and go see the baby goats?” She screamed “YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH” and ran to the door. After a little hair brush and new clothes we headed out to see the babies. And we’re currently working on how to properly pick them up 😅 The black and white one with blue eyes is a girl. The cream colored one is a boy. You know what’s next…

What should we name them??? 😍

What an amazing experience! I’ve had a lot of goats give birth at this farm. But this was the first time Melody got to help! At first she was confused why we were sitting around watching a goat. And then once she saw the first baby come out she was ready to dive in! She helped clean them and get them to the milk. Then we moved them all to the barn. Once the mama, Maia, is finished cleaning them and resting, I’ll get better photos. I did take a peak though and the lighter one is a boy, the dark one is a girl. ❤️😍🫶🏻

$400 out of $1400

We have a new rescue dog in training! His name is Titan, and he’s a rescue from the euthanasia list at MAS. Previously Wasko. They had him listed as urgent for fear, anxiety and stress (I would be too in a shelter!). Team Memphis Rescue & Support scooped him up and got him into a fantastic foster home. Edgar did an in home session and quickly saw that he would excel in Champion Camp. They’ve sent him here for two weeks of training. He will be learning basic commands, leash training, recall, and getting lots of socialization with other dogs. He is super dog friendly and loves everyone. He still has a puppy heart. He just wants to have fun! 🎉 He is house and kennel trained. Someone is going to adopt a fantastic dog! Call us at 662-403-1180 to schedule a meet and greet.

Titan is around a year old, fully vetted and HW negative. His adoption fee is $275 and you can apply directly with the rescue.

If you want to donate to his training you can send donations to the rescue or to us directly. Just put “Titan” in the caption ❤️

I need everyone to help out this morning by doing one simple thing… Share this post! 🙏🏻❤️ These three boys are our “rescues in training”. They are all very special and looking for their forever family. Their info is in the captions. They are all neutered and fully vetted. Their adoption includes an in home training session with Edgar. The first one, Rufus, is definitely a priority. His four weeks of training ends tomorrow. We would love to see him in a committed home! If you’re interested in any of these special kids please CALL Taylor at 662-403-1180.

Rufus is with All 4s Rescue League
Baron is with Tunica HumaneSociety
Houdini is available directly from us.

I’m feeling so inspired this morning. And I want to write something that is truly meant for every person who is reading this…

Life is not what you think it is. It’s not what you’ve always been told.

Life is whatever makes your heart truly happy!

So if you need someone to remind you to…

Breathe…
Relax…
Enjoy…
Be brave…
Love…
Be still…
Take that adventure…
Forgive…
Move forward…
Smile…

I am telling you to do it!!!! 🎉

We are not living in the past or the future. We are only living right now and wherever you are right now is beautiful in some way.

My daughter, Melody, and all kids, inspire me the most. When they fall they’re just more determined to walk. When they make a mess they laugh. When they cry they cry as hard as they can! And then they move on.

So if you need a little inspiration this morning I hope this helps you.

Get outside.

Make a mess.

Share the love.

And follow your heart. ❤️

Good morning champions! This weather is INSANE! We are just loving life right now. Everyone is happy and inspired and enjoying all the sunshine we can before winter comes. How is everyone else doing?? Feel free to share your adventures in the comments. ❤️

Melody woke up with a little stomach bug. And it’s our day “off”, whatever that means 😅 Here is a little news bulletin before I put the phone away. I am going through all the messages after this amazing past weekend. If you don’t hear back from me I’ll call you tomorrow.

People are starting to prepare for the holidays. If you want to send your dog for Champion Camp during November and December please book it now.

We also have just two in home session spots left for this coming weekend. Call us at 662-403-1180 to schedule. Leave me a voicemail and I’ll call you back.

Still NO applications to adopt Rufus or Houdini or Baron. If you want to adopt leave me a voicemail and I’ll call you back tomorrow.

Enjoy this gorgeous Monday, and a week filled with sunshine! Be safe, be kind, be love! See you tomorrow. ⭐️

I’m so blown away by this contest. First of all did you notice how many rescues, shelters and organizations are represented? They’ve already raised over $3,000 in just a few days. And it’s so fun!!!! The rescue world can be so sad. It’s nice to have a way to just laugh and enjoy and be a little competitive with each other. If you want to join in the fun go check out the dogs and vote! We have worked with many of the dogs entered. Three of them are currently here, and Titan is coming for training next week. 👏🏻 Amazing job Noa and Team Memphis Rescue & Support 🫶🏻

⭐️ Here is the dog of a lifetime ⭐️

Houdini is my favorite kind of story. His story is the kind that reminds me every day why we do this. He reminds me it’s all worth it.

Houdini was just another black dog rescued from the streets and overreacting to people he didn’t know. In most cases he would have been euthanized. He was constantly escaping, scaring people, and there was no hope for his future. He was also out in East TN. When I got the multiple messages and calls to help him I honestly didn’t want to get involved. We were so busy and it was hard to evaluate his behavior from a distance.

After much discussion Houdini’s two heroes drove him all the way to the farm. We agreed to meet him. Possibly do one week of training. And possibly continue up to four weeks of training in hopes he could get adopted during that time.

As you can imagine it was a rough start. Houdini felt threatened by new people in his space. He was not scared. He was letting you know he was not scared. And he wanted to take care of his people (in this case the rescuers). We totally understood that. But he also needed to understand our side— if you can’t find a way to at least be respectful of new people you can’t get adopted. And you will be euthanized.

Edgar worked with Houdini and the rescue for a couple hours. By the end Houdini was able to relax with us and started playing with the other dogs. Of course he’s a black lab and all about the water! We used his love of swimming to win him over. By the end of the session Edgar and I both saw in each other’s eyes that we agreed he was a great dog. Exceptional actually. He was very aware of everything and everyone. He just wanted to be good and have a job to do. I believe he would be an incredible service dog or ESA. Or even a hunting partner, hiking buddy, search and rescue dog and more!

So we did something we rarely do— we offered to take Houdini on until he gets adopted. No matter how long it takes. He has now been here for three months.

And what a world of difference it has made.

Houdini actually attended his first in home session yesterday as Edgar’s assistant. He helped a dog who is also over reactive. And then he got to spend time with the family. He did absolutely amazing with everyone.

So that means… it is time. 😍

Houdini is ready to get adopted. He is a 2 year old black lab. He’s fully vetted. Neutered. HW negative. Very well trained. And his adoption will include follow up training with the option to board him here in the future. His adoption fee is $300.

This dog is very special to us. I want to see him excel in life. If you think he is a good fit for you please call me (Taylor) at 662-403-1180.

Whew. 😅 What. A. Life. I know you all like to hear the reality and the reality here right now is… We are tired!

But I always say a tired person/dog/horse is a happy one 🥰

Where to start…

As you all know we are dog/human trainers, not a rescue. We train for individual dog owners, and we train for the rescues/shelters. Occasionally we help them fundraise through this page. And the rescue dogs sort of come in waves. This has been a HUGE wave. 🌊

🫶🏻We personally have two foster dogs here, one of them from Tunica HumaneSociety and the other one from East TN.
🫶🏻I am helping ARRF - Animal Relief & Rescue Fellowship with their website and social media.
🫶🏻We have a rescue dog we recently trained at a new foster home.
🫶🏻We got a call to help with the three rescued puppies who had parvo and are very afraid.
🫶🏻PLUS we have Rufus in training from All 4s Rescue League.
🫶🏻Did I also mention we run a working farm full of critters? 😂

But if I’m not super busy, I’m bored! So it’s all in good fun! ❤️

Rufus is definitely our biggest job at the moment. We have raised $1250 out of $1400 for his training. So we’re almost there! I can’t even say thank you enough. I could never show enough appreciation for all of you. I know each and every person who donated and I love you all. It takes a special person to donate to a rescue dog they have never met! Rufus needs a lot of help. And more than anything he needs a home that can continue to help him adjust to this life. We can’t save all dogs in his situation. But when we can we go above and beyond to do it.

We are still looking for homes for three other dogs, Houdini, Baron, and Copper. See their photos below. If you want to adopt a dog from us please call Taylor at 662-403-1180. We can match you to the best one. Check out Copper settled into his new foster home! We are currently looking for people to foster for us. Fostering for us is a unique opportunity. Call for more info.

The three puppies below are available for adoption. I will be going to see them soon and help them get use to people. They are already making a lot of progress after almost dying from parvo. They were found by a lineman in Leland, MS. If you’re interested in adopting please contact us. They can be transported here. They are available for adoption individually- two boys and a girl.

If you want to help in anyway please call us at 662-403-1180. If you want to donate check out the ways below and put Rufus in the caption.

Let’s start the day with some good news! We had a special family step up to be one of our fosters. Copper is a 7 month old mixed breed from ARRF - Animal Relief & Rescue Fellowship. Thanks to the shelter for sending him here for training, and this family for stepping up to help, Copper is free from the shelter! We know he will get adopted quickly, allowing them to foster another dog in the future! If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous, soon to be large, boy please call us at 662-403-1180. Copper loves everyone and has a ton of potential. He is fully vetted and his adoption fee is $250.

It was our dream since the beginning to have peacocks here. But it’s been a bit of a struggle 😅 We successfully raised a female who is the biggest character on this farm, always making cool sounds and flying across the pond, thinking she’s so cool. I recently had a chance to get a male who has had a little difficulty settling in. But it’s official- he’s happy here! They have become best friends and we hope to one day have little chicks. They’re only a year old. So they still have some growing to do. Next time you visit the farm make sure you ask to meet them!

Now. Any name ideas for this gorgeous pair?

10/11/2024

I frequently hear people say “Animals need us”. No they don’t. We need THEM. And people who don’t agree need them more than anyone else. We are not superior. We are not different. We are good at certain things. And they are good at certain things. But they are good at something we all struggle with— living. They forgive. They love. They enjoy. They relax. They celebrate everything. They LIVE.

We have so much more to learn from them than we could ever teach them.

Balance is everything. Of course we help each other.

But unless you can… forgive someone who abused you… love someone who doesn’t understand you… help those who disagree with you… be happy wherever you are… let go of all control…

You might want to consider listening to the animals. All of them.

They speak more clearly without words than we do with our thousands of languages… ❤️

*Something funny about this… You can also replace the word “animals” with children.
