I’m a big boy with an even bigger heart. I’ve got so much love to give, and I’m ready to be your most loyal companion. Let me tell you a little about myself—I’m a mix of laid-back cuddler and noble guardian, and I think you’re going to love me just the way I am. When I spent a couple of overnights in a home, I did so well that they couldn’t wait to have me back! I’m a gentleman in the house—fully housebroken with no accidents, and I don’t get into anything I shouldn’t. I didn’t even try to climb on the furniture because I’m perfectly happy with a plump dog bed and a fluffy comforter. At night, I’ll curl up right at the foot of your bed and stay there all night, snoozing happily. I’m fantastic on a leash and walk calmly by your side—no pulling, no fuss. I love treats and chewies, and I’ll sit politely and give you my paw in exchange for a snack. I’ve got a very soft mouth, too, so no worries there! While I enjoy my walks and adventures, I’m just as happy curling up next to you while we watch TV. I’m the definition of a love bug when I’m with my people. Now, I do have a more serious side. I’m a loyal and strong protector of my inner circle, which means I’m not too keen on strangers approaching me or my family. If I don’t know a person or situation, I can get uncomfortable, and I’ll let you know it—so I’ll need someone who understands that. Because of this, I’ll do best in a calm, structured home where I won’t be put in stressful situations. I’ll also need a sedative and muzzle for things like vet visits, nail trims, or restraint—tools that will keep me and everyone around me safe and stress-free. Weighing just under 100 pounds, I live up to my name as a noble watchman and guardian. I love my family fiercely, and once you’re in my circle, you’re there forever—especially if belly rubs are involved. In fact, I’d probably let you give me belly rubs 24/7 if you wanted to! I’m happiest when I have space to roam and explore, so a home with a doggie door and a nice yard (or even some land!) would be my dream come true. I love the outdoors—whether it’s land or water, count me in! I’ll be happiest as the only pet in the home, though—more room for me and all your love. Oh, and one little quirk: I might have some piglet in me because I love to dig! It’s great exercise, but I probably won’t be the best fit if you’re looking for a perfectly manicured lawn. Speaking of quirks, I have one big obsession: the water hose. I absolutely love it, but if I’m allowed to play with it, I’ll get way too over-the-top excited. It’s best to just avoid letting me have too much fun with the hose—trust me, it’s better for everyone! I know I’m not for everyone, but for the right person—someone who understands my big heart and my big personality—I’ll be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever ask for. If you think we could be a match, I’d love to meet you. Love, Howie

Requirements: Martingale Collar; 6' Fence; Misfit; Handler Appointment OnlyAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.
In completing this application, I hereby affirm that all information given is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I also acknowledge that should any of the information on this application prove false, or should I misrepresent myself in any way, my application will be denied. There is a one time, HOLD fee of $25.00 for ANY adoption. This includes sponsored animals.
We do verify current pets are up to date with vaccinations. If you rent, you have to have landlord approval. Please do not place the HOLD fee if you are unsure.
Our adoption fees vary from $150-$300 for dogs and $85-$100 for cats. Adoption fees for other types of animals vary. Our adoption fees help to cover our costs for spaying/neutering, the rabies vaccine and county tag, puppy/kitten vaccines, heartworm, leuk/aids, fecal testing, and microchipping. Our adoption fees in most cases do not even cover the basic veterinary costs,
ANY EXTRA CONTRIBUTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND GO TOWARDS FEEDING AND SHELTERING THE ANIMALS HERE.
Q. Exactly what vaccinations has my new pet received?
A. All dogs are vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza. Pets over 5 months old also receive their Rabies vaccine and county tag (dogs and cats). The Rabies vaccine is a Statewide requirement and you MUST register your new pet with your county. Please check the laws in your county regarding registration procedures and costs.
Q. Why does my new cat/dog have to be spayed/neutered?
A. Our goal at H.A.L.O. Rescue is to save as many lives as possible. Nearly 70,000 puppies are born in the United States every day. Only 25% of those puppies will find loving homes. Five million of them are euthanized in shelters every year. That’s one every 6.5 seconds. Decreasing the overpopulation of abandoned and abused animals is our highest priority. By spaying/neutering we are not only ensuring better health for your pet, we are also decreasing future accidental pregnancies, which causes overpopulation. Because of our strong belief that spaying and neutering decreases our pet overpopulation, we have teamed up with local veterinarians and offer low cost spay and neuter vouchers.
Come to HALO and pick up your voucher. It is affordable and for every pet fixed, you are doing your part in saving hundreds of lives.

More about this rescue
HALO Rescue is a no kill rescue and adoption center. We are Indian River County's only no kill shelter and yearly intake over 2000 dogs and cats.
HALO accepts these animals regardless of age, medical condition, or behavioral reasons as space permits. Once an animal enters the shelter we provide all emotional, medical, and behavioral needs before placing that pet in a forever family. All of our animals leave spayed/neutered, vaccinated, HW or Leuk/Aids tested, and microchipped.
We are the first shelter to begin a community cat diversion program where we expect to reduce the number of cats being euthanized in our county shelter by a targeted 900 cats/kittens within the next year.
HALO is a network partner with Best Friends and we are always seeking innovative fresh ideas for getting pets out of shelters, into homes, and off the euthanasia lists.
We do not receive government funding but rely solely on donations, fundraisers and grants to continue our lifesaving work.
