Story
This sweet girl was found with her head stuck in a fence and she had multiple wounds. An amazing volunteer took her in and started treatments for her wounds. We estimate Darla was born in late October. We have no idea what happened to her but we know her future is bright. She is sweet, funny and playful. We are only guessing at the breed mix because of her ears. That may change as time goes on. She will be finished with her vetting and ready to go to her forever home in early to mid January. Let’s help her have the best life. If you are interested in adopting please apply at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Dog You can also visit our website at funnyfarmpets.org where you can read all about our TN based rescue and how the adoption and transport process works and get all the answers to your questions. Her adoption fee will be $399 and if transport is needed from TN where she is fostered there will be an additional $200 fee.

Story
Meet Joy🩷 Joy is the sweetest pup! She is gentle and adorable and steals everyone’s heart. * Toward People: Loves everyone regardless of age or gender! Is a charming sweetheart who wags her tail to greet even strangers. Keeps porking her head in to be petted because she loves to be caressed. Is so gentle that she gets startled and immediately takes a hand out that accidentally ends up in her mouth when she is playing. * Toward Dogs: Gets along well with her best friend Mansoo #AdogsMansoo, with whom she shares kennel. Greets other dogs nicely whom she encounters while out for walks. However, because she tends to play a bit rough, it is important to keep an eye on her when she meets other dogs in an off-leash area. * Separation Anxiety: Is unknown since she is staying in group at the Adogs Center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty in the Cener. *Hygiene: Behaves well during baths. * Walks: Is adept at walking side by side with a walker, without pulling on the leash. 💗 * Car sickness: None. 💌Special Note💌 * Mastered commands like "sit" and "shake hands"!

Story
Meet Dooly💜 Three siblings Dooly, Douner, and Ddochi were rescued from Korean city shelter where they lived for 2 months without their mom. Dooly received training at a training center and learned how to live with people. We hope and wish that Dooly will find a loving foster or forever family. ❤️‍🔥 * An adorable yellow boy with a sweet and lovable smile ❤️‍🔥 * Because he is living at Adogs center with a group of dogs, we don’t know if he has separation anxiety or if he is housebroken. 💟 Personality and characteristics * Keyword: Smiley #SmileyAngel #Timid * Energy level (1-10): lv.5~6 * We do not know his parents so we cannot predict how big he will be or how much he will shed. * He has cool yellow coat unlike his siblings Douner and Ddochi. * He was fearful and somewhat lacked social skills, but he is much better now after receiving training!👍🏻 * One slightly folded ear is his charm. ❤️

Meet Gage, the resilient pup with a heart as big as his will to wag his tail! Gage hails from Memphis, TN, where he sadly endured a close-range gunshot wound to his back. Despite his past, Gage remains loving towards people, offering tail wags as a sign of his affection. Now in NJ after being discharged from the hospital, Gage is a friendly, energetic fellow in need of a secure, fenced-in yard where he can frolic and play. Gage's past as a stray remains a mystery, but his love for food has made training a breeze for this cheerful guy. Will you be the one to finally give Gage the loving home he deserves?
