Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*COURTESY SHARE*
Meet Boo Boo — a 12-year-old, 5.8 lb neutered teeny mix who’s as sweet, silly, and loyal as they come. He’s heartworm negative and loves nothing more than burrowing under blankets and cuddling with his person. If you let him, he’ll happily stay by your side all day long.
Boo Boo has lived with both a cat and a 70 lb dog and did well with them (though he is a bit scared of cats!). He’s a mellow little guy who walks on a leash but prefers to take things at his own slow pace. He absolutely loves being carried and makes the perfect pocket pet.
He is not fully potty trained and will have accidents if not taken out routinely or supervised. His history includes coming from a large hoarding case confiscation, but despite everything he’s been through, he’s remained gentle and incredibly loving.
🩺 Medical:
• Recently had a dental with extractions and is missing some teeth
• Currently treating a UTI
• Recurring ear infection—he allows cleaning and it does not seem to bother him
• Prescribed Apoquel as needed for skin/allergies
• On cyclosporine for his eyes
Boo Boo is truly a devoted little companion looking for a calm home that will love him, manage his senior needs, and let him enjoy life at his own cozy pace.

Hi, my name is Cecilia Nieves. I am a certified veterinary technician @ Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services as well as a full time mother. For about a decade now, I have been well involved in the veterinary field and for more than half of those years been actively involved in rescue work as well. I have worked with all kinds of pets and wildlife to even working as a Zookeeper @ Busch Gardens-Tampa.
Our name, AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, comes with a bit of history as well. My mother and I moved to Florida when I was 12yrs old. My wonderful friend, Jenna, helped me create my very first email address. Always knowing I wanted to be in the veterinary field, I searched for animal lover and it had already been taken. Trying to be creative, I spelled it AnimalLuvr and from then on this became my logo and nickname. Being that this is my dream of having a rescue it is pretty self-explanatory.
In 2009 I began working hands on with both domestic and wildlife rescues that arrived to our emergency service in very critical conditions and this quickly made me realize that not only are there a lot of animals out there that need our help but a lot of them are strays that no one claims, confiscated animals and those that the owner either cannot or will not give them the care they need. The Tampa bay and surrounding areas are very lucky to have a hospital like Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services that opens its doors to those unclaimed animals and care for them when no one else will. I am more than honored to say that Dr. Katy Meyer is not only supportive of my mission and goals but will be assisting us as being one of our wonderful board members!
June 2014 – After a year and a half of lots of invested $, tons of paperwork, calling the IRS at least monthly to follow up and patiently waiting – WE HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED OUR APPROVAL LETTER FOR OUR 501c3 TAX EXEMPTION!!
