    I fell in love with Yo-Yo that first day. I also cried along with Sam when she said she couldn't send him back and I was waiting to hear he was staying and the others were joining him at the farm.
    All I can say is these dogs started youngin a journey that will pay you back a thousand fold!!

      Remember before they brought Yo Yo to the farm, they had Jake for a day. Luke drove him back to the shelter at the end of the day and then decided he could not take him into the shelter. He turned around and drove him back to the farm. Don't you just love Luke and Sam!!!

    Aww, Yo-yo, you special boy! I remember when Luke started driving the bus and when he got to Yo-yo's pick up spot, Nike ran right up to greet him, but not Yo-yo!😅 I loved the story as Luke shared it. Yo-yo was suspicious. You look like him, sure, but he doesn't come here...then once Yo-yo sniffed Luke he went crazy since he realized it was really him. He wasn't going to be fooled!🤣 So glad to see his story. 🐶🐶💚

I am still sad that I won't see the Dachshunds....dear little Zeus with his dock diving, Atlas, Bentley with his determination to keep up with the big dogs. And of course, Gilly and Gus, Etta, Koda, Bella, and Buddy....so many dogs I fell in love with!

You met my grandsons!” Can I send them to the Farm? Yo-yo really hit the lottery. New home, a sister AND daycare. I’m sure he will be coming back regularly as a therapy dog. You can’t make his story up.

    Uncle Yoyo what a success story when you look back at the start. From that scared angry little guy who didn't think anyone truly cared. To now being one of those whose heart is so big he has to help with the puppies and other shelter dogs. I remember him jumping in with Faith and Hope when Uncle Luke was trying to win them over. Yoyo jumped in like let me show you what they need, I got this Uncle Luke. He got a wonderful family and big sister Nike. He truly deserved to get a great home. We have to stop and take the time with these poor dogs and see they just want a chance at love and kindness. It is amazing how he transformed. Sam's heart was so broken at the thought of him returning and thank goodness you guys took that step to truly bring out the most wonderful dog that was hiding in that cage. Ben great work on putting this together for your brother and Sam. It does take a village to make the farm work.

    And there you have it. From the tears of Aunty Sam came the birth of Uncle Yoyo and the creation of "The Farm". Beautiful video.

    That is exactly what is needed in this country, a doggy daycare which picks up the dogs in a bus and they can go to a safe place in the country so that they can run and play in safety.

    What a beautiful yoyo boy. He reminds me of our sweet Shadow sans 7 puppies. He turned around so quickly and due to Sam and her big heart,DDFT training and care, he found his forever home. I hope we still get to see him from time to time as he loved the lure.
    So precious to see the GSP as puppies and all the babies.
    I also hope we get to see Koda, Bella and little Buddy from time to time. Fell in love with them. 💜🐶❤️

    Bless Sam's soft heart, she absolutely did the right thing. I always cry along with her when I see that clip. Yoyo was so worth the investment of your time, and how perfect and precious that he was so eager to give back. The clip of him scaling the fence into Hope and Faith's pen should have been in here, but this video pretty much says it all. He's such a special boy, and The Farm saved his life (along with 72 others!). This is such a wonderful, necessary mission you're on. And I've stopped clicking through the ads because I now know letting them play helps provide The Farm an income so you can keep on saving these amazing little souls. Thank you all!

    The yo-yo moment that really brought a tear to my eye was the interaction with Freddy the whippet. Freddy ( first time at the farm) was a bit scared and yo-yo, you could almost read the conversation. Look buddy this is how it works here, next thing you know Freddy is jumping and running around just having a great time.

    Yo-yo was so scared in the shelter, but he came right out of his shell when at the farm. His transformation was amazing !! He stopped being scared and aggressive and became the loving "uncle" and fun loving dog we can see now. If you ever feel disheartened, just re-watch these stories and see the joy that has been created, not only for the dogs, but for their new families as well.

    Watching this video again for I don't know how many times but I tear up each time. Such a positive and heartwarming video. This is when Luke and Sam realised what a big difference they could make in Shelter dogs lives. Yoyo was such a great success story and showed them what his real problem was and how they could help him - lack of socialisation with other dogs so he didn't know how to behave with them. Thanks to Dee for reaching out to Luke and Sam and beginning what would be a turning point in their lives. 🐾💕🐾💕
