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
Zeke (ID 702324)
Hi, I’m Zeke and I’m 2 years old. I had a mom who loved me dearly, but sadly she passed away from brain cancer and had no family that could take me in. I was staying with one of her friends who was trying to find me a home but didn’t have any luck so now here I am waiting and hoping another dog loving family will open their heart and home to me. Could it be you?
So, you know a little about me… I love laying on the sofa and snoring, so hope you don’t mind if I’m on the furniture. I’ll nudge you to let you know I need to go outside. I am a strong fellow who likes to play, run around, and have fun. Treats are one of my favorite things and I’m eager to learn. The staff say I’m fun, sweet, have good recall, am affectionate, walks well on a leash and am an overall great dog. I get along with dogs, so if you have a canine friend at home already, the shelter can arrange a meet and greet to make sure we get along. It is unknown how I am with cats. I am heartworm positive, and the shelter veterinary team will treat me at no cost to my adopter. This is not contagious to people or pets and is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito.
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid my adoption fee and I get to go home with goodies to help me settle into my new home. To meet me or any other pet visit www.humanebroward.com and complete the pre-adoption application. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale 33312. If you have any questions call 954-989-3977.
Lavinia ID 701981
Can I be your new BFF? My name is Lavinia (ID 701981), and I would love a family to call my own. At just 4 years old, I have a lot of love to share, if you give me the chance. I was transferred to the Humane Society from another shelter where I wasn’t having any luck finding a home, so I really hope things will be better for me here. The staff and volunteers say I’m a fun-loving gal who likes to play with toys and I’m crazy about treats! I’m friendly, walk well on a leash, appear to be housetrained, love to be petted and will get the zoomies and dash around the yard. It is unknown how I am with felines, and if you have a dog at home, a meet and greet at the shelter is recommended. Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid my adoption fee and I get to go home with goodies, and treats, to help me settle into my new home.
To meet me, or any other pet, visit www.humanebroward.com and complete the pre-adoption application. The adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions call 954-989-3977.
