My story

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

Hi there! I’m Wester 💜
I'm 6-month-old Boxer mix with a BIG heart and even bigger zoomies!
I was lovingly surrendered because my previous human was an older adult who couldn’t keep up with all my puppy energy. Nothing of my own doing, I’m just a bouncy, playful kid who wants to explore the world, make friends, and wiggle my whole butt when I’m excited (which is… a lot).

I love every person I meet, and I think other dogs are the coolest playmates ever. If there’s a pup around, I’m ready to romp! I even know how to play fetch and I’ll proudly bring the toy back for another round.
I’m also working hard on housebreaking — I’m almost there! I only have accidents when I can’t get outside fast enough or when I get super excited. I’m a super fast learner, though, so a little consistency goes a long way with me.And guess what? You get FREE training for life when you adopt me, so we can learn everything together, forever.

I’ve picked up some pretty good manners already like knowing to go back to my kennel when I’m told — I’m a good boy like that! and I’m learning not to play bite (but sometimes I forget because everything is fun).
If you’re looking for an energetic, goofy, loyal pup who will grow up to be your best friend, I’m your guy. Come meet me — I can’t wait to show you my wiggles! 🐶💚

Requirements: Martingale collarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.

Additional adoption info

In completing this application, I hereby affirm that all information given is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I also acknowledge that should any of the information on this application prove false, or should I misrepresent myself in any way, my application will be denied. There is a one time, HOLD fee of $25.00 for ANY adoption. This includes sponsored animals.
We do verify current pets are up to date with vaccinations. If you rent, you have to have landlord approval. Please do not place the HOLD fee if you are unsure.
Our adoption fees vary from $150-$300 for dogs and $85-$100 for cats. Adoption fees for other types of animals vary. Our adoption fees help to cover our costs for spaying/neutering, the rabies vaccine and county tag, puppy/kitten vaccines, heartworm, leuk/aids, fecal testing, and microchipping. Our adoption fees in most cases do not even cover the basic veterinary costs,
ANY EXTRA CONTRIBUTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND GO TOWARDS FEEDING AND SHELTERING THE ANIMALS HERE.

Q. Exactly what vaccinations has my new pet received?
A. All dogs are vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza. Pets over 5 months old also receive their Rabies vaccine and county tag (dogs and cats). The Rabies vaccine is a Statewide requirement and you MUST register your new pet with your county. Please check the laws in your county regarding registration procedures and costs.

Q. Why does my new cat/dog have to be spayed/neutered?
A. Our goal at H.A.L.O. Rescue is to save as many lives as possible. Nearly 70,000 puppies are born in the United States every day. Only 25% of those puppies will find loving homes. Five million of them are euthanized in shelters every year. That’s one every 6.5 seconds. Decreasing the overpopulation of abandoned and abused animals is our highest priority. By spaying/neutering we are not only ensuring better health for your pet, we are also decreasing future accidental pregnancies, which causes overpopulation. Because of our strong belief that spaying and neutering decreases our pet overpopulation, we have teamed up with local veterinarians and offer low cost spay and neuter vouchers.
Come to HALO and pick up your voucher. It is affordable and for every pet fixed, you are doing your part in saving hundreds of lives.

You can come and meet our animals at H.A.L.O. anytime Monday-Friday 9-5 and Saturdays 10-4 at our main location on US Hwy 1 at 710 Jackson St. Sebastian, FL 32958.

More about this rescue

HALO Rescue is a no kill rescue and adoption center. We are Indian River County's only no kill shelter and yearly intake over 2000 dogs and cats.
HALO accepts these animals regardless of age, medical condition, or behavioral reasons as space permits. Once an animal enters the shelter we provide all emotional, medical, and behavioral needs before placing that pet in a forever family. All of our animals leave spayed/neutered, vaccinated, HW or Leuk/Aids tested, and microchipped.
We are the first shelter to begin a community cat diversion program where we expect to reduce the number of cats being euthanized in our county shelter by a targeted 900 cats/kittens within the next year.
HALO is a network partner with Best Friends and we are always seeking innovative fresh ideas for getting pets out of shelters, into homes, and off the euthanasia lists.
We do not receive government funding but rely solely on donations, fundraisers and grants to continue our lifesaving work.
