The Farm was a sponsor for yesterday’s first annual Puppy Love Dog Fest at Independence High School. This wonderful event featured dog competitions, lots of dog-related vendors, raffles, art & essay competitions, & a puppy “smooch booth”. What a fun day filled with talented dogs and humans alike! We are already looking forward to participating again next year!

Meet MITCHY and CHASE
, Nashville Humane Association’s “Pet of the Week”.
“Our names are Mitchy and Chase…and we are 4-year-old Shih Tzus, female and male respectively. Our owners got a divorce and brought us here but, unlike them, we are devoted to each other and need to be adopted together. As you can see in the photo, we are cute as we can be and we are very affectionate and cuddly. Please come by to meet us and see how adorable we are.”
Find out more about Mitchy, Chase, and other wonderful pets needing homes by calling Nashville Humane: 615.352.1010.
On February 1, The Farm hosted an adoption event with the Middle Tennessee Boxer Rescue. It was a beautiful day, and all of the boxers who came were so sweet and full of love, despite having had rough pasts. Three of these lucky pups may have found their forever homes, but there are still more who need to find a family! Visit mtbr.org to see the dogs that are available for fostering and adoption.

Meet CHARLES, Nashville Humane Association’s “Pet of the Week”.
“My name is Charles…and I am a 3-year-old male Labrador mix. I weigh 75 pounds and I am very affectionate.

wonderful I am.”

“My name is Loretta….and I am a 9-month old female kitty and I weigh 9 pounds. When shelter staff were asked which kitty should be featured this week, they
all said I am sweet, sweet, sweet. And I am! I started purring before Sharon got me out of the cage and then I really cuddled with her! I hope you will come by to see me and find out what a good companion I am.”

Each year, The Farm is able to raise donations for local animal welfare groups through its annual Photos with Santa. For the 2013 event, we chose Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. 
The organization values dogs of all breeds, but they specialize in what their name says: big fluffy dogs. They work to save Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands and their mixes from euthanasia. The Farm was honored to be able to present a check in the amount of $470 to Jean Harrison, director of Big Fluffy Dogs. A big thank you goes out to Leila of Grannis Photography for capturing some picture perfect moments and for helping raise this money for such a good cause.
