Story
Bonnie needs a ranch! She needs someone who understands her and respects her needs and boundaries. She is a sweet girl and will be your best friend if she likes you. She is very high energy, loves the water and needs a job! She’s really not a family dog, she’s not one you would take out for walks, she’s the kind of dog that just needs a person and a ranch type environment where she can run and hunt and enjoy life. Please, only those with experience inquire. We would love for her to have a home but it must be the right environment for her to thrive and succeed.

Sweet, playful Angel is a very special baby! She is not the brightest puppy but her personality shines! She has hydrocephalus, which causes her to be a little slow, but she doesn’t mind. She just wants to be loved and pampered. She is looking for an adopter OR local foster. See her in action: https://youtu.be/pzkg5YSiTaQ

Story
This is Merry! Merry is 12 years old, and we rescued her along with 21 other dogs from Wishing Well Ranch on February 1, 2020. Merry was quite skittish, either from little human interaction or from simply not knowing us. She started gaining confidence from watching and interacting with our volunteers and the other more confident little pups at FFF. She attended our weekly Frosted Fakers hikes and  allowed volunteers to hold her, but she burrowed her face in their elbows out of fear.  And then Merry got to go on a two-week Frosted Fling! We learned that Merry is a foodie! What a good tool to help learn her trust. Her Fling family reported she was always hungry and very food driven. Merry did not have any accidents in her crate or in the bed overnight, but seems to be scared of leashed walks and may hold her bladder during this time. Merry did well with the household dog, even play bowing and trying to initiate play time towards the end. She did not seem to mind the cat, either. Merry is scared of new people, but becomes more comfortable with patience and time. Her Fling family says, "Once she became used to us and our house, she is so excited when we come home that she jumps around in her pen with excitement and zooms around once she's out. We were able to take her leash off inside the house after the first few days. She pretty much stopped running away from us and will lay down when it's time to put her leash on to go outside. Merry likes to sleep in the flat spot between our pillows. She makes cute sounds but doesn't snore. She loves her belly rubbed and will roll over to ask for more." Now Merry lives in a foster home. We've learned from her foster mom that Merry enjoys doing yoga with her every morning. See the photo! Merry also went to the groomer and did very well.
