We are pleased to announce that we have a new addition at our farm. His name is Drover. Drover is a six month old cattle dog mix. He was found by Caitlyn, while she was away at college in North Dakota. Poor Drover had been left in a box on the side of the road. Caitlyn picked up Drover in mid-October. The temps in North Dakota during that time were already well below freezing with snow blanketing the ground. Can you believe anyone would be so cruel to leave a puppy on the side of the road to freeze? Caitlyn is home from college now and Drover is one happy dog. He plays every day with our Goldens, Lila & Hunter.  
Please adopt and rescue. There are so many dogs that need homes.

“The purity of a person’s heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals.”
