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.

Meet Our Current Dolly’s Dream Dogs

Manny

Manny is a handsome 3-year-old American Bulldog mix whose owner sadly no longer had the time to care for him.

While he’s still adjusting to shelter life, everyone who meets Manny can see what a special dog he truly is. Staff and volunteers describe him as calm, gentle, and easy to handle. Once he trusts you, he enjoys staying close by your side.

His previous owner reports that Manny is housebroken and gets along well with adults, older children, dogs, and even cats. He is also a smart boy who already knows commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and “paw.” He loves treats, playing catch with tennis balls, and spending quality time with the people he loves.

While he is an active dog who enjoys playtime, he also has a calm and affectionate side that makes him a wonderful companion. He isn’t very vocal, but he will let you know when someone is at the door with a bark or two.

Manny walks nicely on a leash, he strolls calmly without pulling and is a pleasure to take out for walks.

This gentle boy is waiting for the fresh start he deserves, and he’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and companionship.

Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid his adoption fee.

Noelle

Noelle is a petite, 2-year-old bully breed with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She came to us after her family moved away and was not able to take her along. Now she’s hoping to find a forever home where she can feel safe and cherished.

This shy, soft-natured girl moves at her own calm pace and appreciates a quiet, patient approach. Once she feels comfortable, Noelle shows just how affectionate she is; she loves to be close to her people, quietly following you around the house, curling up at your feet, and even sharing your bed if you’ll let her.

Noelle is incredibly gentle, friendly, and great with kids. She enjoys being petted, walks nicely on a leash, and comes when called. She’s loyal and people-oriented, preferring companionship over toys; she doesn’t show much interest in playing with them but enjoys exploring the world through her nose and sniffing everything around her.

She gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion, but we always recommend a meet and greet at our shelter to see if they get along. While she appears to know some basics and is treat-motivated, she can be too shy to show it right away. With patience, positive reinforcement, and a loving environment, she has so much potential to blossom.

Noelle thrives on closeness and will do best in a home that can give her time, gentle guidance, and lots of affection. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion with a tender spirit, Noelle may be your perfect match.

Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid her adoption fee.
