Farm

SHF is a 61-acre not-for-profit facility with eight core volunteers. Although we care for 20-30 animals on a daily basis and we occasionally have dogs available for adoption, our primary mission is to keep good dogs in good homes by providing their owners with user-friendly, positive and practical training in canine and human behavior.

"I can't believe how quickly I was able to turn things around...simply by changing a few things I was doing! SMILE! discusses human and canine behavior, and that's what makes it so helpful. HIGHLY recommend!
