Successful adoptions from Hollow Creek Farm to Forever Homes start with excellent training of animals and their new humans. ALL Hollow Creek Farm dogs are obedience trained and housebroken BEFORE they leave here so that adoptions go smoothly. Our dogs are ready to walk into your hearts and your homes without the usual chaos of housebreaking and training. Hollow Creek farm dogs live in the house and not in kennels, runs or cages. Our “core pack” of dogs help teach new dogs how to behave in a home and how to interact with other dogs, cats, horses, and on occasion, a potbelly pig and a rooster named Lola. Our dogs are HOUSEBROKEN, OBEDIENCE and CRATE TRAINED. Adopters receive a lifetime of free follow-up training to ensure success in their new home. Take a look at our dogs who would love a Forever Home with a Forever Family on this link: Then, complete a Dog Adoption Application form. Below is our “core pack” who live on the farm due to behavior or medical issues that prevent them from being adopted. |
 Helen |
 |
Helen - 2008. Helen arrived to the Farm just before Christmas after being rescued from a puppy mill. Her mother didn’t receive proper nutrition during pregnancy so Helen’s eyesight didn’t develop and she is completely blind. Helen is a very happy little girl who plays right along with the other dogs, follows people by the sound of their footsteps and scent and absolutely loves to be held and to snuggle. We are so glad she joined us and has her Forever Home with us. Bogey – Bogey came on board in 2006 as an obedience demonstration dog candidate. We found he was more apt at being an assertive assistant to Cowboy. He works hard to maintain calm in our pack. Bogey came from a high kill shelter and was selected because of his “plain looks” knowing he would likely not be adopted. |
| Bridget – Bridget came to us in 2000. She had a surgery that was not successful and it caused her front leg to be fused into a position that sticks almost straight out. She’s not in pain and she can still use it to jump up on the sofa and is very pleased with that location. Her function is to entangle herself under your legs and bark for no apparent reason. |

 |
Cowboy – Cowboy is the leader of our core pack. He helps rehabilitate all incoming dogs. He joined the HCF team in 2004 coming in with a broken leg that required extensive surgery. He has fully recovered and will live out his days helping new dogs learn how to become as well mannered as he is.
|
| Junior – Arrived in 2002 and is the farm slacker. He has no function except to bark and cause chaos. |  |
 |
Mimi – Mimi arrived in 2001 after a news reporter found her roaming the streets. A story was printed about her but nobody came forward to claim her. We have no idea how or when she lost her eye and she appeared to have had significant damage to her jaw as well. Mimi is at least 14 years old. She is losing her hearing and sight and is on heart medication, but we cherish each day with her and enjoy playing with her. She still is a hyper little playful pug that loves butt scratches and biscuits! Her job is to just be Mimi as she’s retired. |
| Pig – She arrived in 2006 and heads our Feline Diplomat department. Pig greets all dogs in a friendly manner and has no fear of them and will actually plop right on top of them. She teaches dogs that cats are not to be chased or tortured. Pig was found by a neighbor when she was only three weeks old. She earned the name Pig because she ate like a little pig. Pig does not “meow” she just says “mau.”< |  |
 |
Roo Roo (Mandy Roo)– 2001. Mandy Roo came from a vet clinic. She was found with her sibling who unfortunately did not make it. They had been starved and Roo Roo had a compound fracture in her rear leg that required amputation. Roo Roo loves people she knows, but is simply too shy to place in a regular home. She loves to play ball and is always friendly. |
| Halloween Kitty Cat Spook – 2003. Spook was found by the Director of Hollow Creek Farm on Halloween in a friend’s automobile repair shop when she was about four weeks old. Spook is our resident “slap cat.” When a dog gets out of line with her she promptly puts them in their place with a big ol’ fashioned slap. She loves to sneak up behind visitors and tap them on the shoulder to get some attention. She has helped us with rehabbing cat-aggressive dogs. |

Susie – Susie arrived in 2007 and came to us after her owner passed away. We are not sure of her actual age although we guesstimate 15+. While Susie is unable to walk due to malnourishment from a lifetime of improper food, she is now very happy, energetic and living a complete and fulfilled life. Susie’s job is head of security at Hollow Creek and she is in charge of guarding her very own living room chair. Susie will live out her days here playing and demanding her two nightly biscuits and filtered ice water that she drinks out of a human glass. We are here simply to serve her. |
