Story
This sweet girl was very lucky to be found by a saint on St Patrick's day. She along with her 2 siblings are now safe in rescue and have started with the vetting process. They are quite talkative so we are thinking Husky mixes. They seem to be about 7 weeks old and will be ready to go to their forever homes 4-13th. They are probably going to be large dogs. If you are ready to add a puppy to your life you will need to submit your adoption application at funnyfarmpets.org You can read all about our TN based rescue and how the adoption and transport process works and see all the other adoptable pets. Adoption fee $399 Transport $200
