My story

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

This little lady is 41 pounds and may be only 1-1/2 years old, but she is so chill and eager to please.

Margo has basic commands but is not great with stay. Heeler tendency! She sees everything! She can walk well and is fairly good at heeling. We are working on focus! I use the command "eyes" so she will look back and connect to me while walking.

Margo is loving, smart and beautiful. Her pictures don’t do her justice. My neighbors have a 5 year old neighbor boy who has his sister text me to bring Margo out for a hug!

Margo will make a wonderful active companion, hiking and maybe a running partner. She would be a great dog for agility training. Her energy level is fairly chill for an ACD and she has an "off-switch" and likes to snuggle. She crates well and is house trained.

She does have the heeler trait of jumping up at you if you don't set boundaries, but she is more gentle with the jump. She is becoming better as we continue training. She has learned to walk by rabbits and ducks without even the slightest pull on her leash.

Margo tends to do better with male dogs or maybe a submissive female. Cats are not tested, nor recommended. She also needs to be with someone who is experienced with heelers. A fenced yard is needed. Margo should have someone who takes her to group training.

She is currently fostered in the Naples area.

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.
