More about the shelter
We are a small rescue specializing in herding breeds. We pull dogs from the Southeastern United States, predominantly Florida, that are on death row and literally have just hours. We take dogs of all ages and do not turn down dogs that are ill or heartworm positive. I rescued a border collie 3 years ago from a shelter, and that led to the discovery that there were many in shelters. I have property to keep dogs on and wanted to help them, so here we are today. We have a network of fosters. The dogs receive basic training, house manners, leash training, crate training, are housebroken, and vetted. We try very carefully to match dogs with people to diminish returns, and we do indeed have few returns.
Initial contact via email or phone, application to adopt must be filled out, references, especially vet refs and home checks, are done. Initial meet and greet, interview is set up. If all goes well, the dog is adopted at a set date. We do extensive education re care and integration of the dog, any current quirks or issues are discussed, feeding schedule, etc. Adopters are encouraged to call with questions and stay in contact.

Hi, meet Boomer...he's the long-haired Daschund mix that's going to make your heart go pitter-patter. You see, he's really twice the cute pup package because he's bonded with his buddy Chase. They're quite the dynamic duo and they are looking for their happily ever after.
Boomer and Chase were dumped by an unknown and, thankfully, saved by a good citizen. They're currently being fostered in Wimauma, FL.
Boomer is all about backyard chases. Squirrels, birds, lizards, you name it. If there's a critter in the backyard, he's all about the hunt. But, when things are quiet, there's nothing he likes more than snuggles and belly scratches.
Boomer's still working on his basics. He's crate trained, but not potty-trained, and he's got some work to do on his manners as he likes to jump and beg for treats. He's currently working on sit/stay. Foster mom says he's very food motivated, so with a little time, effort, and patience, all of these things should come to him.
Boomer gets very nervous when he's not in the same area as his bestest buddy, Chase, that he was rescued with. They sleep together, run and chase together, and do everything together. They love their foster people, but are definitely best friends that need to stay together. These two also fancy themselves escape artists, so a secure, fenced yard with outside supervision is a must!
When they first came in, Boomer and Chase were heartworm positive, however, their treatment has wrapped up and they are ready for their always and forever.
