My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roxie has been in her new foster home approx 3 weeks. In that time, she has been found to be:
independent
snuggly when she wants to be..
she will let you groom her
she is a quiet girl at first but will let you know when its
dinner time
she does get along with all the dogs but doesnt really play with them. coexisting is a good word. .she does not need a home with another dog. And no little barky dogs she likes to chase.
she walks great on lead.
totally housebroken will bark to go out.
crates great in an xpen situation.
has some barrier reaction in a smaller crate, we are working on that.. something happened to her while she was kept in a small crate. That has pretty much subsided, we do feed in the crate off and on.
no children would be best, 16 or up okay..
no cats no chickens. she watches my neighbors like a hawk, good news she calls off
she knows her name and has a recall. she does not know sit down etc. and at 10 do you need it?
she does not get on furniture.
i have 12 dogs here she does NOT get in the mix.
Overall Roxy is a nice senior dog, that has had a crappy life. She needs time to adjust to a new home and new people, once she knows you, her tail wags and she dances when you come in. She does need a dog savvy person, she will make a great companion dog for older couple or older single person who wants a dog to walk watch the sunset with or watch tv with. She needs a quiet environ, and a slow consistent person she can learn to trust.. Fostered in Bradenton. Vet visit upcoming. 1/17 vet visit unremarkable. healthy senior pup. no issues.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require potential adopters to fill out an Adoption Application.When that is approved we can arrange for the prospective adopter to meet the dog they are interested in. We do require an adoption contract to be signed at time of adoption. We have a virtual home-check process (don't forget to submit photos of the exterior of your home!) Adoption fees range depending on the age of the dog. We do have dogs located at qualified fosters throughout the state and also out of state.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Since all rescue dogs live in foster homes, there is no single facility to meet pups.

You will need to contact Ewenity Farms HDH to make arrangements to meet the rescue dog after you have an approved app on file. Apps can be filled out at ewenityfarm.org

More about this rescue

We are a small, foster-based rescue organization located in Southwest Florida. Being small helps us give more one-on-one attention to individual dogs and their needs. Rescued dogs are kept in our homes and treated as our own. Herding dogs are unique. They are highly intelligent and require much of the owner’s attention. The dogs are evaluated, when they come into the rescue, for any temperament and health issues. Then they are given basic obedience, socialization and rehabilitation as it is necessary.

It is our sole purpose to find forever homes for these loving, wonderful dogs that have been discarded through no fault of their own. All adopted dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and on flea and heartworm preventative.
