Dolly's Dream - Humane Society of Broward County

In the Winter 2016 Paw Prints we introduced Dolly’s Dream Project. 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

Mia ID 720920

Mia’s world changed in an instant…

For two years, this beautiful American Staffordshire mix had a family she loved and a home she knew. Then, sadly, her beloved owner passed away. Through no fault of her own, Mia found herself at the shelter waiting for someone to give her a chance. While her heart may have been broken, Mia has not stopped believing in people. She is still the sweet, loving girl she has always been, and everyone who meets her can see just how much love she has to give.

Mia’s family told us she lived happily with another dog and did well. She gets excited when she sees people, and that excitement comes from a place of simply wanting to be loved and included. Since arriving at our shelter, our volunteers have discovered what a true lovebug she is. She is affectionate, sweet, and eager to connect with everyone she meets.

Mia takes treats gently, knows “sit,” and even showed off her “sit and stay” skills before coming when called. She may come out of her kennel with lots of happy energy, but she settles down quickly and is ready to spend time with her people. Oh, and Mia loves to play fetch especially with balls that squeak!

Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid her adoption fee and she gets to go home with goodies from the Pet Boutique. To meet her, visit www.humanebroward.com and complete the pre-adoption application. The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale. If you have any questions call 954-989-3977

Charlie ID 725495

Looking for a best friend who thinks he’s a lap dog? If so, meet Charlie, a sweet and social 5-year-old bully mix with 58 pounds of love to give! This energetic guy loves walks, bones, treats, and most of all, people.

Charlie is affectionate, cuddly, and happiest right by your side. He’s highly treat-motivated, knows sit, and is eager to learn more. This fellow is good with other dogs, but a meet and greet is always recommended. It is unknown how he is with cats or kids. If you’re looking for a dog with a big heart, a big personality, and a dog who might give you lots of kisses to show his affection – Charlie is your guy.

Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid his adoption fee, and he gets to go home with goodies from the Pet Boutique to help him settle in. To meet Charlie, visit www.humanebroward.com to complete the pre-adoption application. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. Call 954-989-3977 ext. 6 with any questions.
