Dolly’s Dream

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.

Cici ID 720506

I came from another shelter, so my past is a bit of mystery. The folks where I came from said I’m a very sweet and friendly gal who does great with others. I’m 2-years-old, 42 pounds and recently was a momma. My pups have found homes, and now it is time for me to find a family to love…could it be you?

I enjoy spending time with people and may follow you around. Getting lots of pets is one of my favorite things and I might try and lay in your lap. I’m gentle, walk good on a leash, and like the cool air-conditioning. Because I was not on heartworm preventative, I tested positive for heartworms. This is not contagious to other people or animals and is caused from the bite of an infected mosquito. The shelter vets will treat me for this at no cost to the adopter…I will just have to come back a few times for treatment.

Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have covered my adoption fee, and I get to go home with some goodies from the Pet Boutique. Do you think I can be your newest family member?

To meet me, fill out the pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com. The adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. and appointments are not necessary. Call 954-989-3977 with any questions.

River ID 720520

My name is River and I want to share my story. In December 2023 Saint Nicholas Animal Rescue on the island of Dominica, rescued me. Here is what they wrote on their IG page:

Rescued today!

We were able to rescue a young dog who was in dire need of help. This poor pup was found wandering the streets with a heavy chain and electrical wires wrapped around his neck, desperately searching for food and water. Despite being just a puppy, he was severely malnourished, abused, and neglected, suffering from a painful skin condition.

Our dedicated team sprang into action and rescued him this afternoon. After a thorough examination and blood work, it was discovered that he is afflicted with three different tick-borne diseases and a painful skin condition.

After getting the medical care I needed, I’m now a happy 4-year-old, fellow who wants a family to love. I was lucky to be flown to the HSBC with a few of my friends and know brighter things are in all our futures. I enjoy treats and LOVE being in the air-conditioning.

Dolly’s Dream is covering my adoption fee, and I get to go home with goodies to settle in. Will you show me what it is like to be truly loved by a family?

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. and if you have any questions call 954-989-3977.
