We take our therapy animals to visit people in hospitals, nursing homes, special needs facilities, schools, churches and camps. We have traveled over 8000 miles in 2009.
We accept donations, but do not charge for visits or programs.
Timmy Update:On December 16, 2009 we returned to the University of Cincinnati's FETCH-LAB where Timmy was fitted with his hearing. Timmy is the only the 4th dog to recieve a hearing and only the 2nd dog to go blue tooth.
We are now working with Timmy to get him to accept the hearing aid. He is doing pretty good, but we still have more work to do. The next step is to get Timmy to hearing sounds and the last step will be teaching Timmy to recognize sounds and commands as they will sound different.
It is not a quick process, but Timmy is very smart and will adapt.
I am sorry for the delay in posting this information. I hope to update photos and reports. I had surgery in December and some issues that get me from being on the computer.

In this photo we have Vonnie and Bill from Walker's Jeweler's on Front St in Berwick, who was kind enough to make a special chain with clasps that connect Timmy's hearing aid by a chain to his collar as a safety catch. Bill have know Timmy for most of Timmy's life and has interviewed many of our animals and Timmy on past tele-thons. |

Young's Funny Farm, is the home of Neil & Yvonne "Vonnie" Young and our assortment of "critters". We provide Animal-Assisted Therapy and provide home to abandoned and rescued animals.
Our animals come from a variety of sources and were either placed with us, adopted from the government or other agencies such as the SPCA, rescued directly or dropped off. Please do not just drop off animals here or any other place. Ask or take to a shelter.
We are locate in Berwick Pennsylvania which is considered Northeast/North Central PA. The town of Bloomsburg is just South of us and the city of Wilkes-Barre is about 35 miles North of us. We hope you will spend some time looking around learning about us and animal therapy programs.
We are proud to be the home of some very special therapy animals include Timmy who is also a service dog, Buddy and Shorty which are two miniature horses and Honeybun, one of only two certified therapy donkeys with the Delta Society.
Drop us an E-Mail with any questions you may have and tell us what brought you to our web site. If we met at a visit please remember to mention where.
I hope you will take the time to view all our pages but I have provided short cuts to help find information that you may be looking for.
While we are raising funds by asking for donations for Timmy's medical needs, we still have plenty of other costs and needs.
Our therapy duck program is expanding and we need either cash donations or better yet materials.
Dog kennel to house ducks; pool filter for duck pond, large dog crates for transport; duck feed.
We can always use fencing and gates.
