FLIP
Flip is an 9 year old American Eskimo mix belonging to Amy. He came to Friendship Farm from a local shelter in January 2003 where he had been for many months. He had come into the shelter as a small puppy with his mother (an American Eskimo) and his sister. Both of them were adopted quickly but for some reason, Flip was not, and remained there until he was adopted by Amy at about 6 months old. He is a ball of fluff, wiggly, and desperately and utterly loving. His idea of the perfect evening is to snuggle up on the couch next to a human friend and be patted. He has mastered the art of the long loving stare with those dark, "googly" eyes. He adores riding in the car and even looks forward to those long trips back and forth between Massachusetts and North Carolina.
BLAKE
Blake is a 16 pound, 5 year old Papillion mix that
came from the same local shelter as Flip in December 2008. He had been
picked up as an injured stray by Animal Controt and the shelter took
him and had him operated on to repair a torn ACL. He was at the shelter
for 5 months and then Amy adopted him as a playmate for Flip because of
his spitz-looking heritage. Spitzy dogs have a certain growly way of
playing that sometimes puts other dogs off but those two understand
their play completely. Despite his size and heritage, he is a true farm
dog and is as happy and loving as can be. He fit in
instantly, is devoted and there's no small dog pampering for him!
MARIN
June 12, 2011 - Rest in peace, beautiful girl...
Marin is a 12 year old Golden Retriever (mix?) belonging to Amy. She also came to Friendship Farm from another local shelter four years ago. Amy has a major soft spot for seniors, and nothing is sweeter than a senior Golden. She came into the shelter as a stray and wasn't there very long when Amy heard about her. She had been completely shaved, as she was heavily matted, and it has been a delight to watch her lovely red coat grow and bloom. Marin must have been well loved in her previous life, as she is so generous of heart, gentle and easy-going. She does have a wandering/swamping streak, which probably what got her into trouble in the first place, so we keep a close eye on her.
SKIPPY
March 2011 - Rest in peace, sweet boy...
Skippy is an 9 year old Border Collie mix belonging to the Wurzels, who has lived at both Friendship and Yet Again Farms and now lives at Yet Again. He came from a Border Collie rescue organization in Connecticut as a teenage puppy with a history of abuse. He is a happy guy, with lots of clear Border Collie tendencies, like trying to "herd" horses from outside the fence. The horses are all used to him, of course, and consider him a form of entertainment. He truly can smile!
