Story
Rachel 4-Year-Old | Spayed Female Rat Terrier Current on Bordetella, DHPPV, Rabies, Deworming, and MicrochipAdoption Fee: $200 Meet Rachel — the sweetest little lady with a big heart and a survivor’s spirit! After recovering from both a broken hip and leg, she’s ready to start her next chapter in a forever home. Rachel adores people most of all and would be happiest as a full-time lap dog. She’s good with other dogs, and though cats make her a little nervous, she mostly just ignores them. She’s met kids and done well, but would prefer a home without young children who might try to carry her around. Rachel’s playful side comes out with stuffed toys, Benebones, and a gentle game of tug-of-war. She’s crate-trained, loves mealtime, and will happily go into her crate for a treat. She’s potty-trained but appreciates supervision and regular outdoor breaks — especially if it’s raining or snowing (a cozy sweater helps!). She’s got a few quirks that make her extra charming — alert barking when visitors arrive, a love for burrowing under blankets, and a fondness for sleeping in late. Rachel also knows how to use a dog ramp or stairs to keep her joints happy. After all she’s overcome, this resilient little terrier deserves the comfort of a home where she can be loved, spoiled, and cherished — whether as the center of attention or part of a small pack.

Story
Spot is a playful, smart, energetic puppy. He loves playing fetch up and down the hallway with his bouncy balls. He is enjoying the snow and will play outside happily as long as we will let him. He loves long walks and runs, and would benefit from a few walks a day. He enjoys chewing balls, ropes and bones. He is still learning not to chew things that aren't his. He listens to "leave it" and "drop it" commands pretty well, when you are diligent about watching him closely. Spot loves being playful with other dogs and kids. He would do better in a home with older kids as his size, energy level, and young age can be overpowering for little ones. He is still learning that the kids are not the same as puppies, and he would do well with kids that can take control and command him a little more. He has had several doggy playdates and time at doggy daycare and been with all sorts of breeds, sizes and ages. He has done great with all of them, and I think would thrive in a home with other dogs.

Story
Meet Lewis — The Sweet, Soft-Hearted Farm Pup Oh, little Lew. Lewis is the kind of puppy who quietly steals your heart without even trying. He’s the cutest, snuggliest ball of puppy sweetness and has a calm, gentle presence that makes everyone around him slow down just a bit. Lewis can self-entertain and is perfectly happy doing his own thing, but his favorite playmate is his brother, Clark. He’ll join in with the resident Malinois now and then, but he truly prefers sticking close to his brother. When you pick Lew up, he melts—floppy, relaxed, and ready for snuggles. He’s not lacking confidence, just more cautious and thoughtful. If Clark jumps off the bed, Lewis will pause, assess the situation, and decide it might not be worth it. He loves exploring, especially outdoors, and seems like the kind of dog who would thrive with a big yard to wander, leisurely walks, and plenty of time to just be. Lewis is a quiet observer. He’ll be calmly interested in whatever you’re doing, and suddenly you’ll look over and find him sitting right beside you, staring up at you with those soft puppy eyes. He’s not much of a barker, though he can be a little whiny when nervous—car rides start with a bit of protest before he settles. He’s still working on coming when called (currently the least reliable of the two ), and if it’s time to go inside, he may need to be picked up—Clark will follow automatically once Lew does. Lewis is also in his “taste-test everything” phase, with bark being a current favorite snack, so supervision is important. One of his most endearing traits? The bounce. When Lewis gets excited, he hops like a little gummy bear, and it’s almost unfair how adorable it is. Lewis is learning his basics—he sits well, is working on “down” and “wait,” and gets very enthusiastic when treats are involved. Crate training is going fantastic, and he may actually be the best of the two when it comes to settling in. Potty training is progressing slowly, but he’s starting to have accidents closer to the door, which is a great sign. He understands the daily schedule, often waiting near the door around mealtime or outdoor breaks. He has lovely food manners and does especially well respecting the older dogs during dinner time. Of the two brothers, Lewis may be the better candidate for a home with cats—he’s gentle, calm, and more reserved. Neutered | Current on DHPPV, Bordetella & Rabies| MicrochippedAdoption Fee: $350 Lewis is an easygoing, simple, sweet companion—perfect for someone looking for a gentle soul to grow alongside.   About Furry Farm Rescue Furry Farm Rescue, established in 2017, is a foster-home–based rescue in North Idaho.
