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
Harold – ID 698256
How cute am I? My name is Harold and I’m a 2-year-old sweetheart who’s ready to start my new life by your side. I’m a friendly, affectionate pup who walks well on leash, comes when called, and I LOVE being petted. The volunteers say I’m gentle, social, playful, and have that “Boston Terrier gone wrong” look that makes me even more lovable. I get along with other dogs, enjoys interactive play, and will stick close once I bond with you. When I arrived at the shelter I was heartworm positive, but thanks to the amazing veterinary team at the Humane Society of Broward County, I’ve started my treatment and am doing great! Heartworm isn’t contagious and is spread by mosquitoes, which is why prevention is so important. All I need now is a family to love. Could it be you?
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream they have paid my adoption fee and I get to go home with goodies from the shelter’s Pet Boutique to help me settle in. To meet me Harold (ID 698256) or any other pet at the Humane Society of Broward County visit www.humanebroward.com to complete the pre-adoption application. The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312, and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. The vaccine clinic is open 6 days and week.

Terra ID 700775
Beautiful Terra came to us from another shelter, so her history is a bit of a mystery, but every day we learn new things about this incredible dog. Sadly, she sat at the other shelter for 11 months and did not have any luck finding her forever family. We know her luck is going to change, and our wish is that she is snuggling in a comfy bed and being spoiled. It’s easy to see how friendly she is, but she does have tons of energy!! She’ll need a great home with an active family that will give her all the exercise she needs. Terra is pretty good on a leash, but the more walks she goes on, the better she’ll get! She’ll show off by showing how she can do “down” and “up”. The fact that she is food motivated definitely makes training easier! Plus, she takes those treats so gently!
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream they have paid Terra’s adoption fee and she gets to go home with goodies to her settle in. To meet, Terra (ID 700775), or any other pet at the Humane Society of Broward County visit www.humanebroward.com to complete the pre-adoption application. The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312, and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. Call 954-989-3977 if you have any questions.
