In August 2016 Rescue Farm took in 25+ dogs from a hoarding situation. Among the furry creatures rescued was Violet, a 2 year-old brindle dachshund mix. My husband and I found her listing on petfinder.com in September, and we couldn't help but inquire to see if she was available. Lucky us, she hadn't been adopted yet.
We filled out an application and were approved within two days. By the end of the week, we were driving out to the farm to meet her. On the way to rural Poland we were so excited yet anxious: would she be the right fit for us?
When we reached the farm, we were greeted by a male volunteer, who led us a small, secluded indoor space. There we met Miss Violet, and it took us about two seconds to fall head-over-heels in love with her. She was such a happy-go-lucky sweetheart, even when she peed all over my leg. As we petted her, we looked over her folder, which included the dates of her shots, microchip, and spay. There was also a contract we signed saying that if any point we no longer wanted her, she had to be returned to the farm again. (This was not going to be a problem, but I think it shows the dedication and care from the rescue.)
We left after about 20 minutes with our pup in tow. We followed up with our vet the following week, and she said that Rescue Farm had done a fine job taking care of Violet in the four weeks they had her. After our experience with Rescue Farm, I would definitely recommend a future pet owner reaching out to them for a pup. Our Violet is proof that they provide a safe haven as the pups wait to be adopted. read more
