Story

Meet Washington! Washington is an interesting personality. He is very, very affectionate with people that he knows, and loves to roughhouse, wrestle and play but is extremely gentle when doing so. He loves to chase a ball, amuse himself with toys and is very active. He is wary of strangers initially, but greets well if not grabbed or touched roughly by a stranger. His person will need to introduce him to strangers, but it only takes a minute for him to warm up and want hugs. He gets along with other dogs and loves to play, but if bullied will stand up for himself and set the other dog straight without doing any harm. He is crate trained and house trained. His obedience is EXCELLENT. He knows "touch," "sit," "down," "off," "up" and "leave it." He will pull a bit on a leash if excited, but wears a Gentle Leader head collar and does well with it. He loves food (any kind will do), play, toys and long walks on the beach. Won't you be his companion? Apply at https://www.ewenityfarmsbch.com

Story

Meet Adonis, the sweetest good boy you could ask for! Adonis is around cats, other dogs, small children, and teenagers. He becomes wiggly and excitable when he sees our cats, so we DO NOT recommend a home with cats. Adonis is sweet on our children, and enjoys long games of fetch and chase. He is still a pup, so he needs a lot of play. In the evenings, he wants to be curled up in your lap on the couch. He has deep, sweet eyes and his fur is soft, like a fawn. He needs a family that will stimulate him, and enjoy lots of cuddles. Adonis is shy and timid initially, but once he gets comfortable, he settles right in and it’s like he’s been there the entire time. Highly recommend a fenced-in yard, or lots of open space away from roads. Stumpy tailed. UTD on shots. Neutered. Fostered in Pace Fl.

Story

Maverick is a very sweet 7 yr. old, 55 lb., neutered, Australian Cattle Dog mix. He was owner surrendered in Dec. 2023 because his family was moving and unable to take him. The shelter said the family had children and he got along well with them, but he has not been tested with children. As of Jan. 22, he moved into foster care in Gainesville, FL. He is crate trained, housetrained and easy on the leash. He looks forward to our morning and evening strolls around the neighborhood. Maverick responds to sit, stay, shake hands and down. He always waits for approval before coming into the house. His owners indicated he had obedience and agility training. He is well behaved inside our house. He is currently living with a small 14 yr old, female, Terrier/Spaniel mix. He is not food aggressive, and he is gentle when taking treats. He loves to cuddle, get belly scratches and play with his toys. Maverick is up to date on all vaccines, but he did test Heartworm Positive and then had an adverse reaction to the first Melarsomine injection. Treatment will now require that he be on a strict monthly heartworm prevention pill and have follow-up testing in Sept. Any new adopter will receive 3 months of medication to get started. If you'd like more information on Maverick, or to schedule a Meet and Greet, please contact ewenityfarmsbch.com and consider filling out an application to adopt and give this sweetheart the furever home he deserves!

Story

Meet Jackson, a 1 year old, 45 lb male Australian Cattle Dog mix who is crate trained, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on shots. Jackson is a high energy dog and loves walks, runs, and to play fetch and frisbee. He knows basic obedience commands and is working on becoming solid with his obedience performance as well as loose leash walking and recall. If you like having a shadow Jackson would be perfect for you since he is a velcro dog and will follow you everywhere. Though Jackson has lots of energy he’s the sweetest cuddle bug! If he’s had a chance to burn off some energy he loves to snuggle while watching a movie so long as the ear scratches keep coming. Jackson is quite the ladies man but is a little shy with men. Maybe he thinks they will take his best gal. Jackson also enjoys playing with other dog friends after proper introductions have been made and he feels comfortable with his new friends.

Story

Abby is a young, active and initially shy red heeler that warms up to people quickly and is extremely affectionate. Since being in foster, Abby has learned basic commands and walks very nicely on leash. She visited a puppy class and enjoyed getting pets and treats from all the humans. Her confidence is growing every day! She is learning basic commands and is house-trained, crate trained and loves other dogs. She would be the perfect dog to keep an older dog young, or as a playmate for another active dog. She would also make a great companion to an outdoorsy, active person.

Australian Cattle Dog

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

After being at the shelter for months and shutting down, Ozzy (approx 2-3 years) made his way to his Ewenity foster home and is thriving. Foster mom's update: He has transformed into a goofy, happy-go-lucky dog that just wants to play and be loved on. He lives with three female dogs and while he wishes that all of them would play with him only one does. He's very good at feeding time and stays away from the other dog's bowls . He hasn't shown any food aggression or guarding at all. He let's me pick up his bowl and takes treats gently . He loves all kinds of toys but will drop everything to play with a water hose! He is a shoe stealer (we're working on that) but he doesn't chew them. I found that if I say with a calm firm voice, Ozzy no. Sit. That's not a toy he will drop what he has . Otherwise he's always up for a game of keep away LOL He does good with my chickens. He will follow them but even if they fly in his face he never goes after them. He does not like to be led by holding his collar but he walks great on a leash. He knows Sit Stay lie down and gives his paw. He has a pretty good recall unless he's distracted by something and we are working on improving that too. He's high energy but settles down well in the house after playing. He loves to snuggle and lay right next to your side or at your feet. He still needs to learn that cats are not to be chased, but i think it will be easy because he easily learned with consistency that my chickens are off limits. Pictures do not do this handsome boy justice. He is absolutely gorgeous! He's very athletic and smart. I think he would excel in agility or dock diving, but would also be happy with a good playmate. He is doing much better on his recall and knows what "in the house" means. Heh as been to Lowes and many other dog friendly places and does great. He met a tiny dog and Tried to play with her. Think you can be Ozzy's happily ever after? Apply today!

Story

With a personality as strong as the one he is named after, six-year-old Apollo is a legend all his own. He is full of fiery spirit and is eager to go and do almost everything. He is very handsome and knows just how charming he needs to be to win you over. When out in the yards, he runs all over with a smirk across his face, enticing those around to join the fun. His favorite activity is playing ball, showcasing his speed while proudly bringing the ball back, triumphantly. A close second is going on a nice long walk with some of our volunteers. He is in need of some leash training as he can pull at times, and he loves to play grab the leash when first putting it on. He will sit for treats, which has helped, and has shown he is very treat motivated. Toys are also a fun pasttime, squeakers or a good stuffed Kong with peanut butter keep this guy happy. Apollo can be affectionate, showing it in his own way by leaning up against your legs, and is always prompt for scratches, but is not a fan of full on embracement. He has been making more and more human friends, but is not to happy sharing space with other canine companions. With such a large personality, an experienced owner would be ideal for this exceptional dog. Adventure, excitement and a world of opportunity, Apollo would make a wonderful addition to the right home, come see for yourself at Satchel's Last Resort! For an appointment to meet Apollo, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will get back to you.

Story

We rescued Ranger in Sept. 2022 from a shelter at 3 months old. He is almost 3 years old now, and a very sweet dog. He loves our kids, and loved going to the dog park when we’re able to go. We’ve become very busy with our schedules as I’ve had a change in job and with new commitments coming up, so we are not able to give him the time and attention he needs. His new family needs to prioritize helping him get energy out, with walks or a visit to the dog park or having a big area for him to run around. Again, he has a very sweet temperament and loves kids, although I do recommend upwards of 8 or so as he doesn’t always know how strong he is when he jumps/runs around. He did go to some puppy classes and was easily trainable, however he does not like the crate and becomes anxious in there. We’re hoping to find him a place he will thrive.
