Zoomies Funny Farm

Zoomies Funny Farm is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on animal welfare initiatives. Welcome to Zoomies! We're so glad you're here. We want to help!

Please let us introduce ourselves. Founded in October 2023, Zoomies Funny Farm was established to help address the growing need for local animal rescue, foster, and adoption. Specifically, Zoomies is focused on the fostering aspect. We aim to lessen the burden on other shelters and rescues by providing a safe and (mostly) temporary alternative to animal surrender. We are aware of a number of issue

s that can lead to even the most well loved and well cared for animals to end up in shelters. Transient homelessness brought about by natural disasters, victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse seeking refuge from their abusers, military training and deployment, and even owners undergoing surgery or other long term treatments for medical issues- all of these things can make caring for a family pet an infeasible hardship. We want to lessen the struggle and to provide those faced with such challenges a different path. By offering these animals a place to stay while their humans navigate some of life’s difficulties, we not only prevent further overcrowding at the shelters, but hopefully, we can offer their families some hope and peace of mind by knowing their pet will be loved and well cared for until they are ready to be reunited. Additionally, Zoomies plans to provide a more permanent home for a few current shelter animals who because of their temperament or complex medical and behavioral needs would otherwise be deemed unadoptable. Long term care of these animals in a sanctuary based setting such as Zoomies Farm will offer them the best quality of life, and the constant hands-on approach to monitoring, training, and rehabilitating these animals will help keep them happy and safe.

Aww…. Yeah!

We’ve got two baskets ready to go tomorrow for Quarters for CARA. 😊

The first is the “Sunday Funday Leisure” basket: a sweatshirt and tshirt from Wander Trails, The Tea Spot tea, hand poured candle from Burning Blooms, and custom wax melts and room spray from Delilah & Company! Plus, we’ve also included a cute cat puzzle and a bottle of wine to help you wind down after a long week.

The second basket is our “On the Move” collection: 2 cases of Athletic Brewing Company NA beer, a heavy duty leash and collar set from Wilderdog, as well as their back country bell, and p**p bag holder/dispenser, and again- a hat and tee from Wander Trails!

The proceeds for these two baskets and all the day’s ornament sales will be going to help our bestie, Emmett!

Em is one of 4 dogs that we’ve helped save off of Hwy 24 in Cameron, and for those of you who are new to Zoomies and his story: Emmett got his name because it has the letters EMT in it, and this boy loved to howl and sing along with the sirens of passing emergency response vehicles.

He’s the goodest boy ever, and we hope you come out to shop the vendors, bid on some items, and enjoy an afternoon of fundraising to help some wonderful and worthy babies.

Thank you so much to all the businesses who donated the items that allowed us make these baskets. Your generosity truly makes such a huge difference, and we appreciate it more than we can even say!

Beep. Boop.

We interrupt your regular Zoomies cat and dog posts with a very special message:

We know that the holidays can be a very tough time for some folks. And that the cold, dark days can make your mood even worse. We get it. Truly.

Forrest and I have both suffered from depression, anxiety (and in my case- suicidal ideation). For us, our dogs have always helped us battle back against the darkness. They’ve given us purpose and hope and love.

But even with them (and make no mistake- I wouldn’t even be here without them), it can still be hard sometimes, or most of the time- or if everything currently sucks and you’re deep in the thick of it- ALL of the time. Sometimes it felt like I went years without seeing even the faintest bit of light.

So we’re here to remind you that your mental health is important (I mean- we called ourselves the funny farm for a reason). It’s a part of us, who we are, and what we’ve been through.

And even though we’re an animal rescue, we’re here because animals rescued us.

And because we are here- we want you to know it.

We are here.
For the animals.
The people who love them.
For you.

For anyone who needs us at any time.

Please reach out.

And if you don’t need help-
Please be help.

Our friend (and her friend) happen to be selling these freshies to support mental health. So we’re sharing it, and we hope you consider supporting them. 🙂

If you are local to Roanoke Rapids you know the name Chelsea Garner ❤️ she’s the blogger at The Tattooed Anxious Onion and a bright light here in the community with a big heart pure as gold!

She had an idea for a freshie and we made it possible! She loved it so much that she reached out and wanted to do a fundraiser for mental health/substance use with the design.

She found a great place for the funds to be donated to and used! With each purchase of this freshie $10 will be donated to Coastal Plains & UNC Health Nash Foundation Recovery for Substance Use and Mental Health!

Please share and let’s help her reach her goal of 200 freshies sold ❤️❤️

Mmm…. The sugary deliciousness has been extended. Treat yourself and support Kind 2 Kritters. Even if you don’t think you deserve it- the puppies and kitties do. ;) Do it for them!

Our besties at Lending Paws a Hand, Inc. have an adoption event tomorrow!

12/06/2024

Oh hello, Fluffer.

The friendliest feral you ever did meet.

This little guy was trapped earlier this week, and while we assumed he’d be a bit spicy like some of the other colony kitties, instead he decided- he really didn’t care for life on the streets.

So….

Yeah…..

This kid is fixed and vaccinated and will be joining us Saturday at our Carolina Town and Country Adoption Event!

Stop by to check him out. And peep the cute videos Anne Mauro has sent us in the comments below.

Adoption fees are just $50 and help us cover the cost of vetting.

Restocked our little display at Fort Wagg today, and wanted to take a minute to remind you to shop local (and veteran owned) this holiday season. You can stock up on your regular supplies, plus grab a few stocking stuffers for your companion animals. Whether they have fur, feathers, fins, or scales- there’s something for everyone.

12/04/2024

Winner, winner, pretty much anything you want for dinner! 🤣

Help us finish out the year with our Le Creuset braiser raffle.
We're selling just 50 tickets at $10 each.

And all to support TNR in the local community.

She’s really cute 🥰

So……A woman who bought one of our Zoomies shirts sent us this photo last night!

Apparently, this cutie is available for adoption through the Charlotte, NC shelter.

Obviously, we want to encourage his adoption. Anyone who brings this baby home gets a free shirt with his likeness!

Please like and share and help him find his forever family.

Have you ever seen anything so cute in your life? Wanna be able to see her every day? In person?!? Message us to find out more on how you can adopt this sweet, squishy baby.

The cooler the weather- the crazier the pups! Ryder and Fuzzy having fun. :)

Life is about to get way better for these lucky cats. Today they get spayed or neutered, brought up to date on vaccines, and for the little one with an eye infection- some much needed antibiotics! We’ve given them Lowe's Home Improvement inspired names as a thank you for the plant donation they made to one of our fundraisers this year! We’re proud to introduce Kobalt, Klein, EGO, DeWALT, Craftsman (crafty, for short) and Pella! #dogoodhavefun #rescue #fart (the foster, adopt, rescue, transport kind) haha ❤️🐾❤️

Toadstool has been adopted! 🥰

Adoption event with these babies!

Some of our amazing supporters sent us this video tonight- of them enjoying the paint and pints and live music at wild dogs. We’d love to see everyone else’s artwork from today. Feel free to show it off here! Post your pics. :)
