In the Winter 2016 Paw Prints we introduced Dolly’s Dream Project funded by the Levitetz Family Foundation. The project covers the cost for spay/neuter surgery for American Staffordshire terriers and mixes and helps with surrender prevention.
Dolly’s Dream has expanded and now they are underwriting the adoption fee of select bully breed dogs. In addition to underwriting the fee, they will cover the costs for the basic items that the dog will need to succeed in their new home. This includes a training crate, Sensation harness or No-Pull harness, chew toys, collar, ID tag, leash, training treat bag and basic dishes. If necessary, they will also cover the cost of obedience classes here at the Humane Society of Broward County.
Each week there will be two dogs featured who are part of the Dolly’s Dream Project and a sign is on their kennel door so potential adopters know about the offer.
Meet Our Current Dolly’s Dream Dogs
Harley ID 717637
Beautiful Harley is a 5-year-old, bully breed mix, with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. She came to us through no fault of her own when her family lost their home and made the difficult decision to do what was best for her. While her story is heartbreaking, Harley hasn’t lost her joyful spirit and is ready to start fresh with a family who will love her forever. Harley is wonderful with people and does well with children ages 6 and up. She has also done well with other dogs, though a meet and greet is recommended to ensure a good fit. She is friendly, affectionate, and thrives on being close to people.
Harley is a bit shy here at the shelter, and you can tell she doesn’t know what is going on. We do know that Harley absolutely loves cuddles and truly believes she is a lap dog. She will enjoy having a cozy bed to relax in and will happily soak up all the attention you have to give. Her previous owner stated she is playful and loves stuffed toys, balls and running around.
One of her favorite things – a treat of steak and potatoes! When Harley settles into her new home, her energy level will increase so be sure you have time to play with her and give her plenty of exercise. Harley is looking for a second chance and a place to call home again. In return, she will bring endless love, laughter, and companionship to the lucky family who welcomes her in.
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid her adoption fee, and she gets to go home with goodies from the shelter’s Pet Boutique. To meet her visit www.humanebroward.com and complete the pre-adoption application. The Humane Society of Broward County opens daily at 11 a.m. And is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312. If you have any questions, call 954-989-3977.
Lua ID 717124
Sweet Lua would love to be part of your family. This cutie is a 2-year-old American bulldog mix who came to us from another shelter. While her past is unknown, her easygoing nature makes it clear she’s ready to settle into a loving home. Lua is friendly and enjoys getting lots of pets and being next to her person. Staff say she walks beautifully on a leash and seems content simply taking in the world around her, often happily sniffing as she goes.
She is still getting familiar with treats and will sit for a yummy morsel. Her laid-back personality and good manners make her a great candidate for learning with patience and consistency. While outside, Lua showed a playful and excited interest in another dog, which suggests she may enjoy the company of canine friends. She also enjoys playing with toys.
If you are looking for a gentle, well-mannered dog who will want to share your space and your heart, Lua may be the perfect match. Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid her adoption fee. To meet Lua, visit www.humanebroward.com to complete a pre-adoption application. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 and the adoption department opens daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions, call 954-989-3977.
