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

Bitsy ID 721958

My name is Bitsy and I’m just over a year old and am quite petite, weighing just 32 pounds.  I’m a bully breed mix who is ready for forever family; can you make my wish come true? My foster family said that I am super social with everyone!  I did well with children and even loved the family pig!  There were two other dogs in the home and we were also friends. Hope you don’t mind a lap dog…because I might want to snuggle with you. 
 
Thanks to Dolly’s Dream they have kindly paid my adoption fee, and I get to go home with goodies to help me settle in from the Pet Boutique. To meet me, 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.

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.
