Dogs available for adoption

Occasionally we have puppies/dogs available for adoption. Usually they come to us as stray, undernourished puppies and are fostered by Louise and Jim Clark. They are vetted, socialized, spay/neutered, de-wormed and vaccinated. When they are ready to find permanent loving homes, we list them on www.Petfinder.com. You can view pictures and updated information on them by going to http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=FL627&preview=1 . This site will explain our adoption requirements and fees.

In the past year we accepted 4 puppies from 2 rescue situations. We kept 2 at the sanctuary (Lab/Hound mixed) Wally and Rosie. Their estimated birthdates are December, 2010. Rosie was adopted into a wonderful loving home with the Brock Family from Newberry, FL. Wally is waiting for his family. We then accepted a sweet male yellow lab named Benson who is the same age as Wally. They get along great!

The Clark family are presently fostering 2 loving puppies (Rottie/Hound) Abbey and Lady Bug. Their estimated birthdates are December, 2011. Both are loving, healthy, socialized and available for adoption.

An application for adoption is available by clicking the APPLICATION tab above. If you have questions, feel free to contact Ode Spear #386-325-8289 or email: uafarm@comcast.net.

"Match Maker Program"

Most animals we take in stay here for the remainder of their lives. However, we have limited means and space to care for the huge numbers of farm animals needing placement. If you are interested, in caring for a farm animal in need, consider our...

Information

We invite you to fill out an adoption application (copy and paste it into an email first) and submit it for pre-approval. Your application will be reviewed and filed. When we are contacted regarding a farm animal in need, which we can't take, we will reference our most suitable applications on file. Most requests are regarding potbellied pigs (and mixed), goats, bunnies, old & disabled horses, cats and dogs.

Please understand, we take the "Match Maker Program" very seriously. We look for permanent and safe homes. People who are willing to provide a safe, challenging, healthy and comfortable environment are most desired. Also, it's important that the property be owned not rented and zoned for that particular animal. Agricultural (AG) zoning has many sub-codes which denote what the land can be used for. The most difficult to find is AG property which allows pigs and chickens. Counties vary on restrictions regarding how many of each type animal may be kept per acre. Please check your specific limitations. Unlike animals farmed for food, we look for life long homes where they will be happy and safe. Also, we do not assist in placing animals to breed or eat.

Farmed animals are genetically altered to grow large quickly. They are often over bred, kept in small controlled areas and considered more of a commodity than the sentient beings which they are. Animals who could potentially live 10, 20 and 50 years, live a few weeks or 1-2 years of age in the farming industry. Their feed, environment and medical is different than those cared for with expectations to live full quality lives. We are always available to help you find answers to questions concerning their care.
