About Us…..

Amanda Shannon, the owner and main handler of all boarders and rescue animals, has loved animals since she was a little girl. She has had expereince with many species of animals but chose to dedicate her life and time to man’s best friend, our furry partners in crime, our bed hogging and bathroom buddies, our dogs.

Amanda moved to Oklahoma in July of 2014 to attend OSU Vet School. While finishing up her second to last semester of undergrad studies in the spring of 2017, she decided that Vet School was not what she wanted to do. Her dream was to open a boarding facility that was more like home. Where dogs could have a building and yard of their own to socialize and not have to be leash walked one at a time or caged their entire stay.

During her time at OSU and continued time after, Amanda shadowed vets in both small and large animal practices. She became employed as a surgery technician and kennel tech at Midwest Veterinary Hopital where she learned so much about the care and health of animals. She aided in the daily care of boarding animals and the surgical preperation, procedures, and aftercare of patients at the clinic. Because of her experience at the clinic she takes pride in her knowledge of knowing how to care for boarding dogs and what to look for in their health and demeanor to make sure they are getting the best care possible.

Shannon Farmz houses more that just dogs. We also have a gorgeous Percheron/Quarter horse named Fonzie, a donkey named Oscar, 3 pygmy goat mix girls, a multitude of barn kitties that do an amazing job, chickens that feed us yummy eggs, a flock of ducks, and 3 farm dogs that keep them all safe.

We are hoping to have Fonzie trained enough to pull cart or ride in parades one day. He is an ex amish work horse rescued from auction, so he is accustomed to cart work.
