My story

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

Meet Ruger 2 🐾

Ruger 2 is a 2-year-old sweetheart who’s finally getting a second chance at life. For his entire life, he lived outside on a chain, with very little opportunity to experience the comfort and security every dog deserves. Despite that, Ruger’s heart remains gentle and kind.

After his original owner passed away, Ruger was taken in without proper permission and sadly experienced a traumatic dog attack in that home. Through no fault of his own, he’s endured more than most dogs ever should. Thankfully, with the proper approval from Animal Control, Ruger and the other dog from the property were safely brought into rescue.

What stands out most about Ruger is that he is not reactive — even in kennel environments or around other dogs. He doesn’t lash out. He doesn’t cause trouble. He’s simply scared. The world is very new and overwhelming to him, and he’s still learning that he’s safe.

Ruger needs a calm, patient foster home — a quiet place where he can decompress, feel secure, and begin to trust at his own pace. He doesn’t need much: just consistency, kindness, and someone willing to show him that life can be soft and safe.

With time and understanding, Ruger has all the potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion. He’s survived so much already. Now he just needs someone to help him finally live. ❤️
currently fostered in Louisiana he will be neutered on the 26th. He is HW positive and will need to be treated. More updates as we get them and pictures to be posted.

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.
