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

Roscoe (ID 682247)

Are you an active family who wants a dog that can keep up with you?  If so, 3-year-old Roscoe (ID 682247) is the guy for you.  Roscoe had an owner that cared about him, but after 1 ½ years, the landlord said he had to go.   At 62 pounds, Roscoe is quite strong and energetic.  He knows some basic commands such as sit, paw and come, and he is potty trained.  Roscoe needs daily walks and playtime to burn off some of his energy.  One of Roscoe favorite things to do is make snow.  In other words,…take all the stuffing out of plush toys! It briefly keeps him entertained, so more durable toys might be best for him.  His former owner said he is good with cats and other dogs, but a meet and greet is always recommended for a dog and slow introduction to a cat.
 
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, Roscoe’s adoption fee is covered, and he gets to go home with goodies from the Pet Boutique located in the lobby of the Humane Society of Broward County.  To meet Roscoe, complete the pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com and stop by.  The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions, call 954-989-3977. 
 

Ajah (ID 724791)

Sweet Ajah (ID 724791) is a 6-year-old gal who is hoping someone will see past the circumstances that brought her to the shelter and give her the second chance she deserves. Sadly, her owner lost their home and wanted Ajah to have a safe, stable place to live. 
 
Despite everything, Ajah remains a loving, affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. She is good with kids and would happily spend her days right beside you. In fact, Ajah’s idea of the perfect day probably involves climbing right onto your lap and staying there! Our volunteers say she is super affectionate, loves getting pets, and really wants to be a lap dog. 
 
Ajah loves toys, and is generally calm, although she can get a little hyper when her playful side takes over. She is also treat motivated, which should make teaching her new things lots of fun. She already knows sit and paw. She is good with other dogs, although a meet and greet is always recommended when introducing her to a canine companion. Cats, however, are a different story. She is mainly afraid of them, so she would be happiest in a home without cats where she can relax and feel comfortable.
 
With her gentle personality, love of affection, and devotion to her people, Ajah has so much love left to give.  If you’re looking for a loving companion who would happily trade the shelter for your lap, Ajah would love to meet you.  
 
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, her adoption fee is covered and she gets to go home with supplies from the Pet Boutique to help her settle in…that could be lots of toys!  
 
To meet Ajah 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.  If you have any questions call 954-989-3977.
