Story
Hi, I’m Jordan! I’m a cute, wiggly little guy bursting with happy puppy energy and curiosity. I love to explore, play, and give tail wags like it’s my full-time job. I’m learning all about the world one adventure at a time, and I promise to bring lots of joy, laughs, and love into your life. Adopting a puppy like me means signing up for cuddles, giggles, and watching a tiny pup grow into your best friend. If you’re ready for a lifetime of love and a little puppy chaos, Jordan might just be the perfect match for you. Stay tuned, hoomans… my tail’s wagging and my story is just getting started!

Story
Hi, I’m Hughes! I’m a cheerful little pup with a big heart and an even bigger curiosity about the world. Whether I’m bouncing around during playtime, exploring new smells, or snuggling up for a cozy nap, I put my whole puppy spirit into everything I do. I love making new friends and spreading smiles wherever my tiny paws take me. Life as a puppy is one big adventure, and I’m looking for a family to share it with. Adopting a puppy like me means plenty of tail wags, happy zoomies, and a loyal companion who will grow up loving you more every single day. If you’re ready for fun, cuddles, and lots of puppy love, Hughes can’t wait to meet you! Stay tuned, hoomans… my tail’s wagging and my story is just getting started!

Story
Sassy and her babies are fostered in West TN and will not travel until their adoptions are finalized. The very first step to start the process is to submit the adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Dog Sassy gave birth to her pups in mid February at a place that wasn’t very caring or comfortable. Thankfully someone had the sense to reach out to get them all into rescue where they are all safe, happy and healthy. We aren’t sure about the dad as he was a traveling salesman but we hear a rumor he could be a local Heeler. Sassy appears to be a Havanese mix and she weighs 30 pounds and is about 2 years old. They are all so very sweet and loving and are fostered in a home with kids, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. If all continues to go as planned they will be ready for forever homes at the end of April/first of May once their vetting is complete. Most of your questions can be answered on our website at funnyfarmpets.org Puppy adoption fees are $399 and Sassy’s fee is $325 If transport is required there will be an additional $200 fee
