Story
🚨Border Collie/Herding Dog Experienced Foster or Foster to Adopt Needed. 🔹Pets Name: Penelope 🔹Age/DOB: 2 years old 🔹Gender: Female 🔹Spayed: Yes 🔹Weight: 50lbs 🔹Breed / Breeds: Border Collie Penelope is a very smart sweet border with typical herding tendencies. She has been on sheep and done very well. She is house broken leash trained. Does not like a crate but will go in , Needs work with crate training. Penny is a dog that needs someone who can set boundaries in a positive firm consistent manner. Typical of herders, she will try to control if she senses you are not in charge. She knows commands, she is motion activated as are most herders. We are working with that and she can be reactive with other dogs, thus the need for a dog savvy handler. She would do best in a home with one other dog or no other dogs for those less experienced. Fenced yard is a must, as is a knowledgeable border collie person . She would do well where she could work stock. She will be in the port charlotte area. 📩 Apply to foster or foster to adopt at the link below! ewenityfarmsbch.com

Story
This is Peanut!! Border/corgi mix but i see a lot of border!! He is a year old.. This boy is about a year old and a beautiful tri with a lot of white on him. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines/testing/wormer/flea and heartworm. He is heartworm negative. He is needs a place to shine, he is scared in the shelter but is well behaved and is really sweet and silly when his personality comes out. he is a bit timid of men but will allow touching once he sniffs you. Good with other dogs, Lets get this boy a place where he can run and be all he can be!! May be a sports prospect!!!! Peanut is settling in. He is very active and loves to play with other dogs but can be a bit overwhelming. He loved toys and will play tug or chase a ball (fetch in progress). He does jump up when excited and we are working on that. He walks nicely on a leash with a collar or harness. We are currently working on basic obedience and manners. Peanut needs an active home and would make a good running or hiking partner. He would also do well in dog sports. I will keep updating his progress.

Story
Boozie is an approximately 2-year-old Heeler mix who survived the heartbreaking Level Plains cruelty case. She was starved nearly to death before being rescued and given the chance to heal and learn what it means to be safe, loved, and well-fed. Despite everything she endured, Boozie has a bright future ahead of her. She is a slight heartworm positive and is receiving the care she needs. Now that the worst is behind her, this sweet girl is ready for the next chapter—finding a rescue or forever family who will make sure she never has to wonder where her next meal or safe place will come from again. Boozie survived. Now she deserves to live. ❤️ She is currently in AL and has transport to FL once she has a foster or adopter

Story
Thank you for your interest in Mackenzie! If you care for more information, please email your name and phone number to: InquiryForNewHorizonDogRescue@gmail.com We adopt only to the Florida counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco and northern Sarasota. Mackenzie and his seven brothers and sisters were found at two days of age with their mother in a ditch in a desolate area of northern Florida.  Mom is a beautiful, beautiful 29 pound white, young dog with perky ears (adorable!) with the maternal wisdom of Mother Earth. It is unclear how she found food.  Luckily, the family was found and brought into animal control, whereby animal control contacted us asking if we would take her and the family.   Mackenzie swims!  He's so good at it.  He is also litter box trained.   The puppies are fed only the finest of quality nutrition.  They have been to home improvement stores, the beach, pet stores, any and all to broaden their acceptance and understanding of the world.

Gloria

Australian Cattle Dog Husky

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos
Lakeland, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet the shelter’s very own "Central Park" duo! Gloria, a spirited 2-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, and Melman, a charmingly awkward 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix, are a package deal of goofiness just like their Madagascar namesakes. Whether they’re navigating the "wilds" of the play yard or just trying to figure out where their long legs are supposed to go when they sit, these two are guaranteed to keep you laughing with their quirky personalities and endearing clumsiness. Gloria brings that classic youthful energy and vocal Husky charm, while Melman provides the slightly more seasoned, "worried-but-happy" vibe that makes him so lovable. They balance each other out perfectly—where one goes, the other is sure to follow, usually with a wagging tail and a look of pure confusion about what’s happening next. They are a true pair of best friends who find comfort and confidence in being together, making them a ready-made family for anyone looking to double the love. If your home has enough room for two big hearts and a lot of goofy antics, Gloria and Melman are ready to "move it, move it" right into your life. They are looking for an adopter who appreciates the unique bond of a bonded pair and is ready for a lifetime of awkward cuddles and double the tail wags.
