SUGARFOOT
FARM RESCUE, INC.
AVAILABLE
FOR ADOPTION
The rescue part of Sugarfoot Farm has applied for
approval as a non-profit organization and has been incorporated with
the state of Kentucky. We have a large number of dogs available
for adoption. We no longer are breed specific but take in all
kinds. They come in all shapes, sizes, and temperments.
Despite
the little quirks each dog may have, they have been very well behaved.
They
are with us 24-7. I have them spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and
wormed and then offer them for adoption. There is no fee but donations
are
accepted. All I ask the new owners is that if for any reason it doesn't
work out the dogs are returned to us.
There has been concern from some individuals that we might be a "puppy
mill" or this is a "hoarder" situation. Both couldn't be farther
from the truth. Visitors are always welcome. The dogs are
free in the yard so anyone driving by can see them. They are all
in good health. The dogs are vetted regularly, in fact our
veterinarian, Dr. Clint Durham from the Green River Veterinary Services
in Campbellsville, has been to the farm to vaccinate the dogs due to
the large number. We spay and neuter our dogs. There are
enough unwanted dogs in the country for us to be adding to the
population. If anyone has any questions about our rescue please
feel free to contact me. I can give the names of people who have
adopted dogs from us and if the dogs could talk I'm sure they'd tell
you how much they're loved. As I've said - my number one concern
is to find "forever homes" for them.
Due
to
the large number of dogs I've been taking in I have not been able to
update
my web page as often as I'd like.
In order to reach more potential adopters I have become a member of
Pet
Finder.

OUR AUSTRALIAN CATTLE
DOGS
Here are photos of the Cattle
Dogs
who have become members of our family.
(They are not up for adoption)
Gertie has been with
us
the longest. A friend had told me about a dog he had seen at the
Humane
Society and mentioned that the dog had just kept running in circles.
He
thought it might be an Australian Cattle Dog. I went to see the
dog
and had brought my 9 year old niece. There was a sign on Gertie's
cage
that said "no other dogs" and "no small children". Well Gertie
came
home with us, with her head on Sierra's lap the whole trip and slept
with
her that night. As well as the "no other dogs" -
we have lots of them.
Sheena is one of the
smartest
and prettiest Cattle Dogs I've ever seen. She is also known as "Sheena Evil".
Don't start playing "tug of war" with her, you won't win. She is the queen and can be very
jealous if the other dogs are getting attention. She is the alpha
female here
and is in charge.
Shiloh came to us on
Valentine's
Day. He's the alpha male. He is the one who breaks up
fights
& keeps everyone in line.
Of all of the dogs here he's the one I trust most if there's a problem.
He
can be a punk at times but is really a good dog.
Sydney is my best friend and constant companion. Since I have
gotten
him he has gone totally blind. He has not let this stop him. He
goes
everywhere with me. He can jump into the truck himself. He
knows
where the pet door is. He sleeps in bed with me at night.
There
is nothing he wouldn't do for me. And visa versa.
Kimmie was shy when she first came to me and still is. She
has
a trust issue with men.
We had her for years before she would even trust Keith. He had to
bribe
her with ice cream.
Now it's impossible to eat a bowl of ice cream without her.
Owen is
another one who has gone from rescue dog to our dog. Keith has
adopted him as his travel dog.
He goes on road trips with Keith and takes his job very seriously -
from navigating to sampling food.
There isn't anyone who doesn't know Owen. He doesn't stray far
from
Keith's side and is his constant sidekick.
All of
these dogs were shelter dogs. They each have their own little
quirks, but who among us is perfect?
Before you get any pet be sure you have the time and dedication it
requires.
Then if you decide you want to devote your life to one - go to a
shelter or come and visit us.
There are many pets waiting for someone to love them!
