Looking for a new collar and leash for your dog? Karen Marcus, The Farm’s Human Resources Manager, has a recommendation for you!
“The Farm’s Pet Boutique has so many fun and unique items. It’s hard to pick just one that’s a favorite. However the item I come back to again and again is the ‘Good Dog, Good Karma’ collar.
“I’ve owned golden retrievers, lab mixes, beagles, and Jack Russell terriers…and the collar looks great on all of them. It’s extremely affordable (which helps since my two smaller dogs like to use each other’s necks into chew toys!). I love the bright colors. And it washes up great. When my playful pair come in from rolling in the mud, just throw it in the wash with jeans or towels. Hang it up to dry for a short while, and it looks good as new.
“They also make matching leashes too, which makes them the perfect gift for a friend’s new pet, doggie birthday, or other special occasion!”
In the photo above, you can see Karen’s beagle Bella wearing a red collar. The Farm offers the Good Dog, Good Karma collars in many sizes and colors. Click on the photo to the right to enlarge it and see some variations!
Don’t wait too long if you like these items…The Farm ordered the last of SOCOCO’s (Socially Conscious Companion) stock and the company is no longer making them. Drop by to try one on your dog!
Meet Clover, Nashville Humane Association’s “Pet of the Week:”
“I am a 2-year-old male kitty. I weigh 13 pounds and I love people. When you come near my cage, I start talking and begging for attention. I am a favorite of the shelter staff and I hope you will come by to see me and find out what a good companion I am.”

A few weeks ago, we announced a new class offered by Jon Stolzer and The Farm: an “E-Collar and Off-Leash Class.”
Now on week 4 0f 6, the class has been progressing wonderfully as owners and their dogs learn how to communicate better with each other. In the photos below (taken during Week 3), you can see how much the dogs seem to be enjoying the class, as evidenced by their attentiveness to their owners (although the fact that they sometimes get treats is an added bonus!).
As you can see, there were a few basic things that the class covered in this session, with e-collar used only as, according to Jon, “a tap on the shoulder” letting the dog know what is expected of them.
Last Saturday’s Adoption Day with Middle TN Golden Retriever Rescue was again a success! This time the rescue only brought 5 dogs with them, and 2 were adopted.
Additionally, 1 family signed up to be a foster family. If you’ve read our recent article on Fostering Rescue Dogs, you know why this is just as exciting as adoption!
To see the announcements for both of the adopted dogs on Facebook, click on the links below:
In case you missed the event and are interested in adopting, MTGRR still has plenty of dogs available for adoption. Click here for a list of adoptable dogs. Pictured at right is “Esme” who would just love to wriggle her way into your life!
On Sunday, April 15th, Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue held a seminar here at The Farm on everything you need to know about fostering a rescue dog. Here is some of the things the organization taught us:
Why is fostering the “lifeline of the rescue?”MTGRR and other organizations are always taking dogs who will need new forever homes. However, it is difficult to adopt a dog out immediately, and thus it is important to have a foster home for several reasons:
Meet Lulu, Nashville Humane Association’s “Pet of the Week:”
“I am a 4-year-old female Pekingese. I couldn’t be cuter and I am sweet and cuddly as can be. My owner lost her job and couldn’t keep me, so now I’m looking for a new home. Please come by to meet me and see how adorable I am.”
