My story

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

Rocky is a beautiful Blue Heeler, he was a stray at Labelle Animal Shelter. He was shut down and frozen with fear while at the shelter. He only recently has decompressed and is coming around. He is shy and submissive, he like both Men and Women. He doesn't love the leash just yet, and won't take treats, he prefers to eat them when your not paying attention to him, and same with eating his meals. He really enjoys hugs and kisses on his face, if he is unsure he will lay down frozen like a little potato, he may require to be picked up and carried or hugged and reassured. Rocky is going to need someone who is extra kinda and patient, if you chase him he will run, but responds well to the word no and will come back. He will be getting his shots and vetting on the 21st. Rocky, made it to the vet, and took his shots like a pro. Unfortunately he is heartworm positive, but with having the Pro-heart shot, next year he should be re-tested.

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.
