Violet
(Domestic
Bunny)
:
aEUR<
Violet was owned by a professional couple who found
themselves, due to hectic schedules, unable to
provide her with the level of human interaction she
craves. Violet has beautiful natural eye shadow
like you might see on
Cleopatra!
Maya
(Terrier
Mix)
:
aEUR< We
adopted Maya from the Lycoming SPCA, where she had been
for about 4 months after having been turned in as a stray
in Williamsport. Maya was, and remains, a little
"rough around the edges" but she is very sweet and
proudly serves as our doorbell!

Rabbits
Curly
(Bichon
Mix)
:
aEUR< Curly
was found listed as needing re-homed in an online
classified. Curly's owner told us that she would
have to go, because she chased the family's chickens and
could not be broken of the habit. Furthermore, the owner
said, the local SPCA shelter where they
lived would not take her due to some type of ongoing
controversy there about euthanizing dogs. If a
new home could not be found for her, Curly would be put
to sleep. We had room in our house and hearts,
so Curly came to live with us at the FARM!
We love dogs and will always have some at the FARM - we have very limited space for dogs, however, and only accept new dogs under special circumstances with Board of Directors approval
Dogs
Other Animals
Rosie
(Tabby)
:
aEUR<
When the FARM agreed to accept a herd of 10 llamas
from a family in central PA, one of the conditions that
the directors of the FARM agreed to was taking Rosie,
too. The llamas' owners explained that Rosie is
best friends with one of the llamas, Sparkle, and
separating them was out of the question. The two
are very affectionate with each other and Rosie is just a
pleasure to have around - a true
"win-win!"
Trix
(Chocolate
Lab)
:
aEUR< We
found Trix in a newspaper classified, offered as "free
lab." Trix's owner would leave the Bilco doors to
his basement open so she could come and go as she pleased
- she slept on the concrete floor, no bed (!) and he
told us that she was 4 years old and had never seen a
veterinarian. When we brought her to the vet after
adopting her, Trix was found to be at least 10 lbs.
overweight, infected with 3 different parasitic worm
types and she had problems with her toenails as a result
of poor nutrition and neglect. Trix is just a
pleasure to have
around!
Cats
Conan and Kosmo
(Lion
Heads)
:
aEUR< Conan
and Kosmo were donated to a local wildlife refuge along
with a group of other animals given sanctuary there.
The owner of the refuge did not have room for
non-exotics like domestic rabbits and he is unwilling to
feed perfectly healthy rabbits to their
resident wild animals, so we took them in.
