Itsy and Bitsy Hopkins
Itsy and Bitsy went to their new home on August 23rd and they will be spoiled rotten for sure! They have 4 acres to graze and a brand new barn - what lucky goats! Thelma and Louise will be moving in with them soon and the herd of four goats will be very loved by their new family. We love these happy endings!

Butch's family sent us a couple of updated pictures of their baby boy! They report that Butch is growing like a weed and is so happy. He is absolutely a treasured member of their family.

Chloe
"Chloe" is one of Snoopy's puppies who was adopted when she was 8 weeks old.

Her new family couldn't say enough good things about her and they are doing
a great job with her training.
|
| |
McCoy Byrd-Stanley
McCoy came to our dogwash at EarthFare to visit and we were so glad to see
him! McCoy came to our rescue skinny and heartworm positive and he is now
healthy and happy! His new family loves him dearly and we love that they
bring him to visit us.

Zoe Pruniski (sibling of Pete, Carol, Peanut, and Susie)
We are now living in San Francisco and Zoe loves going to the off leash dog parks and the beach where she wrestles and runs with other dogs endlessly. She even gets to visit a ranch every once in a while and races all around for hours on end. We love and adore her and couldn't be more happy--thank you!
-Julie, Brian, and Zoe Pruniski |
| |
Luna (was "Shiba")
Luna now has a wonderful home in Georgia! Her new family drove all the way to Greensboro to adopt her and we are so happy for all of them. What a great ending for a great dog.

Bear Brown
Bear's new family reports that she is doing great and still growing! She is now 6 months old and weighs about 35 pounds. Bear has tons of energy and loves to run around the backyard with her big sister Lucy. She also loves to be chased by the cats at her grandmother's house -- this hilarious girl sure knows how to keep her family amused!
|
| |
Bear Avent
Bear is 4 1/2 months old, 30 lbs., and growing up! Still very much a puppy, but he's doing great and learning something new every day. He's potty and crate trained, and the "manners" are in progress. We've been taking him out to the Bark Park to play with the big dogs for some socialization, and he's loving it.
-Bo, Dee, Bear, and Raider Avent |
| |
Butch Styron (was "Moose")
Butch was found as a stray puppy and thankfully we were able to find a wonderful family for him who understands what great dogs pit bulls are when raised in a loving environment. Butch has two dogs to play with in his new home as well. We are so happy for him!

Indy Dorn (one of Snoopy's puppies)
Indy is one of Snoopy's puppies and was adopted by a wonderful family who volunteers for Red Dog Farm. Indy's new mom painted our sign so we love this picture of our new sign and the Dorn Family's new puppy!

Hope and Handsome Jenzano
Hope and Handsome are elderly quarterhorses who were literally starving to death in December 2007 when animal control and the US Equine Rescue League asked for our assistance. When we picked them up, their skin was stretched around their ribs and we had to feed them small meals soaked in vegetable oil every six hours. After six months of love from Red Dog Farm volunteers and good veterinary care, each has gained over 200 pounds and they were adopted together! Hope and Handsome were an absolute joy to work with and we are so, so happy for them. As you can see, their new family is excited to have them and we think this is just a perfect home for these wonderful horses.
|
| |
Mingus Burns (was "Birkenstock")
Mingus is one of Barbie's puppies and was born in an anmal shelter. He was lucky enough to be taken in to foster care at three days old and now has a forever family to love him. We hadn't seen Birkenstock since he was teeny tiny so we were thrilled to get this picture!
|
| |
Sable Mae Graham
Sable came to Red Dog Farm after being thrown in a dumpster as a puppy and rescued by a good samaritan. She won Garland and Gary Graham over with her sweet, gentle nature and they decided to adopt her and let her help change the unfortunate public perception that pit bulls are mean dogs. Sable is a joy to be with and fits right in with Rodney, Boomer, Boo Houndley, and Sake, so she is now a permanent resident of Red Dog Farm. If you think pit bulls are inherently mean, we urge you to come meet sweet Sable Mae! Watch out though, because she might lick you to death :)
|
| |
Lizzy Beaver
Lizzy has been doing well since she was adopted in October 2007. It took some time for her to get adjusted and potty trained 24/7 but she has accomplished it! Her stomach is very sensitive, so she has overcome many obstacles in a short time. And my how she has grown! Lizzy gained almost 10 lbs. and grew a few inches longer two months after she was adopted! She is a very fun and energetic ball of energy! She has really come out of her shell. She loves to go for rides in the car, chase things, explore, and lay at your feet. Lizzy always loves to say "Good morning" and "Good night" by laying on me and giving kisses while her tail is wagging constantly! She is a joy to have and full of surprises! Thank you Red Dog Farm!
-Lizzy and Abby

Solo's family purchased a "puppy lifejacket" for her so they can take her to the river with them. Here she is, looking "dog tired" after a long day on the boat!

|
| |
Pirate Calhoun (one of Molly's puppies)
Pirate Calhoun is one of Molly's puppies. He is very active and really enjoys playing with family and new friends. His family jokes that his father may be cross between St. Bernard and GOAT! Pirate has brought them much joy and laughter.
|
| |
Bear Deering
Bear's family informed us that he and his new "dog sibling," Sugar, are so very happy together. They play chase, tug of war, and wrestle without fighting.

|
| |
Gumbo White (was "Simon")
Gumbo looks like he is settling in nicely and even has "couch rights" - not bad for a pup whose whole litter was surrendered when they were 5 weeks old. Gumbo also has a new "sister" to play with, a Whippet named Keller, and he thinks she is great!
|

|
| |

|
| |
Chance Marshall (one of Fergie's puppies)
Chance's new dad sent us this picture and said that Chance is growing like a weed. It certainly makes our day to see all 13 of Fergie's pippies in such great homes. We bet that Chance will eat a lot of sticks in his lifetime!
|
| |
Hannah Knight (one of Fergie's puppies)
"Hannah" looks awfully comfortable in her new home! She has another dog to play with and that must be what made her so "dog tired" when this picture was taken. We are having such fun seeing pictures of all of Fergie's puppies in their new homes.
|

Solo Neely (one of Fergie's puppies)
Solo looks like she has found a great home, garden and all! Her mom works with Eli's dad (Eli is pictured above), so the two siblings get to keep in touch. Pretty cool!

Fergie's Puppies
All 13 of Fergie's puppies were adopted on February 15th. We had a giant "puppy party" at The Animal Hospital at Lake Brandt as each puppy went to its new home. Look how happy all of these new owners look with their newest family members!

Honey and Coco (were "Reese" and Twinkle" - Josie's puppies)
It did not take long for Honey and Coco to warm up to their new home! The two pups are litter-mates and were adopted together.

|
| |
Ella
Ella is a sweet girl who was abandoned by someone who didn't even have the courtesy to leave a note and after a few weeks in foster care she is now in a new home in Virginia.

|
| |
Meika and Nora Cotter
"Meika and Nora Cotter" are two of "Momma Kitty's" kittens who were adopted earlier this year and now live in the lap of luxury in South Carolina. That's a pretty great twist of fate for two kitties born under an abandoned rental house!

|
| |
Baby Girl Sasser (was "Sushi")

|
| |
Dipstick
Dipstick was one of Pheobe's kittens and looks like he just woke up from a nap! As you can see from the picture below, Dipstick was adopted along with Momma Kitty and her son Chip, and he doesn't seem to mind changing Momma's midstream.
|
| |
Momma Kitty, Chip, and Dipstick

|
| |
Dino Whichard
Dino was one of five surrendered puppies fostered by the Whichard family. Dino's four littermates found great forever homes (see "Bear Whetstone" and "Macy Schneeman" above) and Dino is thrilled that the Whichards decided to adopt him!

Cloe was adopted by the sister of her foster mom after stealing her heart while she was in town for Easter. It is not hard to see why - Cloe fell in love with her dog, "Ellie," and who could separate these two? Cloe is now the first Red Dog Farm adoptee to live in Pennsylvania!

|
| |
Trigger
“Trigger” came to Red Dog Farm through a referral by a member of the U.S. Equine Rescue League (www.userl.org). Trigger had been living in a ten by ten dog kennel until an elderly couple decided that they could not let such treatment continue and bought him from his neglectful owners. The couple could not keep Trigger, so they turned to the U.S. Equine Rescue League for help, and the League called us. We were told that he was old, skinny, and seemed to have problems with his sight, but that he was very sweet. When Trigger arrived at our farm he was a pitiful sight. His coat was matted and shaggy, he was very skinny, and his eyes watered excessively. He walked in continuous tight circles and seemed to be in pain. Our veterinarian quickly determined that he was suffering from ERU (Equine Recurring Uveitis) and that because his eye infection had gone untreated for so long, he was completely blind. The infection was indeed causing severe pain, which was causing his circling. We scheduled surgery later in the week to remove the badly infected eye, which was not allowing Trigger to see anyway. His surgery went very well and as he began to heal, he stopped circling and started eating. Trigger has been with us for almost three years and is now pain-free and at a very healthy weight. He may be blind, but he navigates his small pasture beautifully with the help of his “seeing eye goats” and is always in his stall at meal times ready to eat. He is an absolute gentleman and deserves every bit of the plentiful love he receives at Red Dog Farm. |
| |
Hobo Kight
"Hobo" is a beagle mix puppy who found himself alone after his mom and siblings wandered away from him. He has been adopted and now lives the good life in his new home, where he has 2 cats to try and play with. He is now enrolled in obedience school at Carolina Dog Training and is doing very well!
|
| |
Little Man (a/k/a "Boxer Boy")
Little Man (a/k/a "Boxer Boy") was adopted by a couple in Walnut Cove who reports that he is doing great. They sent us this new photo. He has a dog next door to play with and snuggles with their cat at night. What a wonderful result for a young boxer mix who was wandering the streets with his mother and sister not long ago! Both his mom and sister are in wonderful homes as well. Little Man's mom, "Roxy Davidson," is pictured above.
|
| |
Gump Rentenbach
Gump is a young great dane whose owner abandoned he and his sister just before Christmas. Gump was lucky to be cared for temporarily by the next door neighbor, who called us for help. We knew of the perfect family for him, and it was love at first sight. Gump was by far the most emaciated large breed dog we'd seen in some time, and because he was so undernourished as a puppy, his legs had not formed correctly (hence his name!). Because of the wonderful care he now receives, he has gained 50 pounds since Christmas and his legs are beginning to straighten out. We are looking forward to keeping up with Gump's ongoing progress.
|
| |
Jed Barham (was "Rudy")
Rudy (now named "Jed") was adopted by a wonderful family who lives near Red Dog Farm and he will be able to visit often! He is growing like a weed and his limp is becoming less and less pronounced. His new family understands and accepts his disability and loves him anyway. We think he deserves it!
|
| |
Jackson Sasser
Jackson was surrendered to us just after Thanksgiving by a family who had purchased him at a flea market but could not care for him. He was underweight, had never had any vaccines, and was living in a rabbit cage. He was afraid of just about everything. While in foster care with us, he was vaccinated and neutered and came out of his shell day by day. He learned to walk on a leash and enjoyed playing with our other dogs. He was adopted in January and now lives in the lap of luxury in Jamestown, North Carolina. He has two "dog siblings" to play with and even a few cats to chase.

Daisy LaFollette
"Daisy" - a lab mix who was one of 11 puppies born to a female lab, was left to wander the neighborhood streets with her pups. We fostered and adopted out all 11 of the puppies. Unfortunately the owners of the mother wouldn't surrender her. But, "Daisy LaFollette" now lives the good life, as do all of her brothers and sisters. |

Sadie Smith
"Sadie Smith" was one of eight black lab puppies born while her mom was tied to a tree outside of Asheboro. Her owner was convicted of over 20 counts of animal cruelty when Animal Control discovered starving dogs and horses on his property. "Sadie" was rescued along with her mom and brothers and sisters, all of whom now have wonderful homes. She came to Red Dog Farm via a referral from the U.S. Equine Rescue League (www.userl.org), which took in all of the rescued horses. |
