Rosco is a 13-year-old Blue Heeler, 46 lbs, neutered, and heartworm negative. He came to PRC after his owner passed away and the next of kin could not keep him. Rosco was adopted quickly but sadly returned when it was discovered he had a strong prey drive toward one of the cats in the home.
Rosco is house trained, walks beautifully on leash without pulling, and enjoys car rides. He is social and curious with new people, greeting with a calm, loose body posture. He does wonderfully with people of all ages, including young children, and is comfortable around wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. He’s especially fond of older men and gets visibly excited when he meets them.
He has lived peacefully with other dogs and is described as gentle, dainty, and tolerant in playgroup. At the shelter, Rosco is easy to leash and handle. On walks, he’ll let you know when he’s tired and may stop to take a break—he’s a senior who listens to his body.
Rosco’s favorite things are food, rolling in the grass, and his stuffed animals. He doesn’t destroy his toys—he carries them around, grooms them, suckles them, and treats them like prized possessions.
Medically, Rosco has severe dental disease (including a broken tooth and mobile incisors), age-related eye changes (cataract in the left eye and possible early cataract or nuclear sclerosis in the right), and came in overweight (BCS 9/9), though he has already lost some weight in care.
Rosco is a sweet, loving senior who is looking for a calm home—ideally without cats he may fixate on—where he can enjoy comfort, routine, and companionship in his golden years.
Please let us know if you can help.

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.
