❤️ In memory of our high-energy, sport dog Abby, we’re beginning to donate some of her favorite supplies to The Greene County Animal Shelter of Virginia— and we’d love to help collect more for the active, energetic dogs waiting for homes.

The shelter especially asked for KONG-style toys that can be filled with peanut butter or treats for enrichment and calming. Abby used these daily throughout her life, and they became one of the best tools for keeping her active mind engaged and comforted.

These types of toys not only help relieve energy and reduce stress, but also encourage positive interaction, bonding, affection, and confidence.

Right now, we are specifically collecting:
• KONG treat-fillable enrichment toys of all sizes
• Durable treat-fillable enrichment toys
• Heavy-duty chew toys for medium and large dogs

Abby was happiest when she had something to do, something to carry, or a reason to play — and helping other dogs like her feels like the right way to honor her spirit.

If you’d like to donate, send us a message through the page. We’ll gladly coordinate drop-offs and future shelter runs. You can also drop off directly at The Greene County Animal Shelter of Virginia.

Abby says thank you! ❤️🐾

🐾 Introducing: Barn Cat Corner at Still Pond Farm! 🐾

We’ve created a new space on our website to celebrate the heart and whiskers of our farm—our barn cats. 💛

👉 https://stillpondfarmstables.com/barn-cat-corner

Barn Cat Corner is all about:
✨ Tips for caring for outdoor & feral cats
📍 Local vet and vaccine resources (Greene, Albemarle & beyond)
🤝 Building a community for those of us “chosen” by these independent souls

We’re still growing the page and working on sharing all of our cats’ stories—but it’s already full of helpful info and heartfelt support for anyone navigating life with barn cats.

Whether you care for one or a whole colony—or just love a good tail (er, tale)—come take a look.
