📣 WE HAVE PUPPIES!!!

Well, not quite yet. We have gorgeous puppies (and some beautiful adult dogs) waiting to be saved from shelters. FARR is ready to save these pups from the euthanasia list but unfortunately we just don’t have enough foster homes to place them into 😞

We are looking for volunteers willing to open their homes to a dog in need. Please consider fostering - FARR covers all expenses. The average time you will have a dog varies from a few days to a few weeks. These dogs urgently need your help. Please feel free to message us with any questions. You can complete an application to foster using the link below. If you have applied in the past but did not hear back from us please reach out to us. Our apologies if we missed your application. We are all volunteers doing the best we can to help these sweet pups 🐾

Thank you so much for your interest in Florida Retriever Rescue - FARR. Our organization is made up of 100% VOLUNTEERS so thank you for being patient. If you do not hear from us please understand that we all have full time jobs and families. We will respond if there is a fit for both you and the dog...

18/06/2024

Well, I do declare! Clara is the sweetest dog!! She weaned her puppies about 1 month ago and is learning how to be a spoiled rotten inside independent dog!
She is listed as a 3yr old Great Dane Lab Mix. Due to our experience with Labs, I think her age is overvalued. She is the size of a traditional Lab not much Great Dane is visible.
We do not know her history, but since being in her foster home she has learned ...
1) It's awesome to live inside, snuggle on couches, and sleep in bed with my foster parents. Snuggling is my jam!
2) Food is my friend now that I have consistent access to it. I love bones, treats, and anything food related! I am THE best pre-wash cycle in the house! Because I am food motivated, training should be easier with consistency and something yummy to nibble! I am working on leash manners and basic obedience! I am currently a strong puller when I want to get to something!
3) Toys are the BOMB!! I love toys of all kinds! Because I haven't figured out the difference between a toy, shoes, and other fun items, my foster family has to make sure to pick up anything I might chew.
4) I love wrestling with my foster sister between naps! I'm currently living with a teenager, 3 foster dog siblings, and 2 house cats. I am sometimes OK with cats and other times the chase is on!
5) I likes to talk! I have definitely found my voice and I have a great sense of humor!
6) I have only been around small children a few times. All families will be considered during a meet and greet.
Overall, Clara is going to make one special family VERY LUCKY! Come see if I would be the perfect fit for your family!

18/06/2024

My name is Remus but you can call me Remy. I’m a 6 year old male “mega mutt” according to my DNA results; a small percentage of German Shepard (12.5%) and chihuahua (12.5%). I weigh 47 pounds - I’m mostly soft fluffy fur! My parents rescued me from an overcrowded shelter in Mexico in November 2018. Since then, I’ve been in a loving home with lots of swimming, cuddles, and running around the backyard. I am house trained, know basic commands, and won’t chew on anything that’s not a bone/toy. I’m am super loyal and protective to my humans. I love to play catch in the house and sometimes the backyard. I think going on car rides is the best! My amazing humans had a baby about a year ago and I’m not adjusting. Despite management strategies and working with a professional trainer, my anxiety is heightened and I’m not the happy pup I used to be. My parents adore me and are heartbroken to lose me, but they know I deserve a home where I can roam around without gates. I love to play with other dogs, but do best with females. I’m also friendly with cats and love older children (12+), just not the littles. With my anxiety, I prefer to be uncrated - I feel trapped in a crate. I would prefer a fenced in yard as leash walking just isn’t my favorite- I like to run and play! Please fill out an application if you’d like endless devotion and cuddles!

ADOPTED!!!

My name is Frida. I'm a 2 1/2 year old female and my foster mom says I'm the best foster she's ever had. My dad was a purebred lab and my mom was a lab shepherd mix. I've learned all the things needed to be a good dog. I'm good with my crate, I won't chew your shoes or remote (or anything other than my toys... in fact I don't even destroy my plushy toys. I'd rather play fetch or tug-of-war with my rope toy!). I'm fully potty trained and will sleep through the night on whatever soft bed you provide me. I won't jump on the couch or your bed without permission and am a super lovebug - I get along with kids of all ages and want to be friends with every dog I meet. My foster mom hasn't seen me interact with cats, but I grew up with one, so with a proper introduction, I should respect a feline sibling. I'm a little excited about walks and can pull a bit, but with continued training, I can learn not to tug against the leash. I am truly a sweet, sweet girl who will stick close to your side and just want a family to love! To be considered please complete an application here http://bit.ly/FARRapplication.

Maddie is a sweet, energetic 6-month-old Great Dane and Poodle mix searching for a forever home. She is current on vaccines and scheduled to be spayed as part of her adoption fee. Her rescue adoption fee is $400.

Here's what makes Maddie special:

• Big personality in a (not-so-big yet) package! Great Dane mixes are known for their gentle, giant personalities, and Maddie is no exception.

• Playful and full of energy:She's playful and full of energy.

• Smart and eager to please: Her poodle side shines through in her intelligence, making training sessions a breeze (and fun!).

• Great with kids and other pets: Maddie's friendly nature makes her a perfect fit for families with children or other furry friends.

Your home could be the perfect place for Maddie. We are seeking a parent who can provide her a loving and stable environment. Your experience with large breeds, while preferred, is not a requirement. Your love and care are what matter most.

ADOPTED!!!

Cookie is an affectionate, fun-loving 5 month old puppy. She’s very friendly and social with humans and animals. She enjoys being outside, playing catch, and chasing butterflies.
Cookie loves to cuddle and snuggles on the couch with her humans. Her energy level is moderate, even for a puppy. She sleeps all night in the crate and takes two naps a day in there. 9 times out of 10, she scratches at the door to do her business and has never had a number 2 accident in the house.
Cookie is very eager to please, and has learned to fetch, sit, and lie down. We’ve been working on recall and drop it. This girl loves to eat, but she’s not food-aggressive. She enjoys little pieces of apple (no seeds or core), her licking pad, and watermelon for treats.
Cookie loves her Lambchop, Nylabones, and Gumby. She would do best in a yard with a small-dog-proofed fence so she can do her zoomies safely. She is expected to be around 50lbs full grown. To be considered please complete an application here http://bit.ly/FARRapplication. If you already have an application on file please send us a message.

20/05/2024

FARR has been rescuing dogs since 2004. We have consistently rescued between 200-500 dogs every year.

Though our board leadership has changed many times over the years, I am proud to be founder and president of this group. Six of us had the idea to create FARR & Friends to rescue the retriever breeds we all loved so much plus any large or giant breeds because we found only the little ones got out of the shelters safely, and a lot of us had the gentle giants as well.

Rescue is hard. Its stressful. Its time-consuming. Its heart-breaking. We are an all volunteer organization and, though we go through the heartbreaks, we also go through all the joys as we see the recovery of our rescued dogs and our adopters who bring them into their homes and families.

Today I share this pic of a wonderful gentle giant named Beau that we rescued and adopted out and a sweet, shy, retriever named Milly. Milly came to us as a feral pup about 6months old rescued from living in the woods. She was so petrified of everyone. My son was little at the time as you can see and he decided he was going to help Milly. That was tough for Milly to accept at first, and this is several months later going to an adoption event, but all the time, patience and love we put into Milly was returned 100-fold. About six months later and one failed adoption attempt, she became part of our family for good and my son's best friend. Milly brought us so many smiles over the years. She was such a love.

Today we ask that you share some of those wonderful dogs with us to remind us all why we do what we do everyday.
