Dolly’s Dream

dolly dream logo

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

Boston (ID 708868)

Meet Boston — 80 pounds of happy, social, snuggly energy
 
Boston is a friendly, confident dog who warms up fast to people and other dogs. He accepts handling easily, shows no signs of shyness, and carries himself like a dog who’s had some training. He knows sit, paw, down, and come (sometimes), walks pretty good on a leash, and has good manners overall—though he’s very strong and will absolutely let you know when he spots a squirrel.
 
Originally found by a Good Samaritan who couldn’t locate his owner, Boston has lived peacefully with both a large dog and a small dog, playing well with each. He’s also passed by outdoor cats without issue. When he met a cat at the shelter and the cat hissed, Boston whimpered and backed off. While at his finder’s home, he was affectionate and wanted to sleep close to them. He’s social, snuggly, and good with teenage kids. He’s also potty trained, making the transition into a new home smoother.
 
Boston is a big, strong dog with a gentle core—an excellent match for an active adopter who can appreciate his size, training, and sweet temperament. Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid his adoption fee.  To meet Boston, visit www.humanebroward.com and 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.

Blossom ID 674599

Meet Our Bouncy Beauty…BlossomThis 2-year-old American Bulldog mix is pure joy in motion! Energetic, exuberant, and delightfully unaware of her size, she’s the kind of pup who comes running and hopping like she’s celebrating life every minute. She’s very friendly, shows no signs of shyness or aggression, and loves to play interactively.

After a good bout of zoomies, she does settle down and enjoys affection. She comes when called and knows “sit,” but is waiting for you to teach her more commands. She walks fairly well on leash and likes to chase toys—but hasn’t quite figured out the “pick up and bring back” part yet!

Because Blossom is enthusiastic and could accidentally knock down small children like bowling pins, she’d do best in a home with adults or older kids. A fenced backyard and lots of exercise would help her shine. Oh, and don’t be surprised if you find her snuggling on the couch. She seems to get along well with other dogs that match her spirited energy.

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, and entertaining companion who brings the fun wherever she goes, this lovable goofball is ready to bounce her way into your heart!  Thanks to our friends at Dolly’s Dream, her adoption fee is paid for, and she gets to go home with goodies to help her settle in.  To meet Blossom visit www.humanebroward.com and 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.
