My story

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

Meet Boa: Your 100-Pound Lap Dog with a Heart of Gold

Boa, our 5-year-old Cane Corso, has made an incredible transformation and is now ready to find his forever home! Once underweight and needing medical attention, Boa has filled out beautifully and is now a healthy, strong boy.

The Good Stuff About Boa:
Sweet and Smart: Boa has a big heart and a keen mind, making him a joy to be around.
Housebroken: No accidents here-he knows his manners!
Dog-Friendly: Boa enjoys the company of other dogs but can get a bit excited and forget just how big he is. For this reason, we recommend a home with dogs that can match his size and energy.
Lap Dog at Heart: Despite weighing over 100 pounds, Boa still believes he fits perfectly on your lap!

What Boa Needs in a Home: While he's great with dogs, Boa can get overstimulated and may not realize his size, so homes with small or frail pets aren't the best fit. Cats and small, fluffy dogs are just too tempting for him to chase, so for everyone's safety, a home without them is essential.

Health Updates: Boa's teeth and skin have greatly improved thanks to a proper diet and dental chews. He's as handsome as ever and ready to share his big heart with a loving family. Is Boa Your Perfect Match? If you're looking for a sweet, intelligent companion with a big personality (and an even bigger size!), Boa might be the one for you. He'll fill your life with love, laughter, and the occasional attempt to climb into your lap for a cuddle.

More about this rescue

Hi, my name is Cecilia Nieves. I am a certified veterinary technician @ Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services as well as a full time mother. For about a decade now, I have been well involved in the veterinary field and for more than half of those years been actively involved in rescue work as well. I have worked with all kinds of pets and wildlife to even working as a Zookeeper @ Busch Gardens-Tampa.

Our name, AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, comes with a bit of history as well. My mother and I moved to Florida when I was 12yrs old. My wonderful friend, Jenna, helped me create my very first email address. Always knowing I wanted to be in the veterinary field, I searched for animal lover and it had already been taken. Trying to be creative, I spelled it AnimalLuvr and from then on this became my logo and nickname. Being that this is my dream of having a rescue it is pretty self-explanatory.

In 2009 I began working hands on with both domestic and wildlife rescues that arrived to our emergency service in very critical conditions and this quickly made me realize that not only are there a lot of animals out there that need our help but a lot of them are strays that no one claims, confiscated animals and those that the owner either cannot or will not give them the care they need. The Tampa bay and surrounding areas are very lucky to have a hospital like Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services that opens its doors to those unclaimed animals and care for them when no one else will. I am more than honored to say that Dr. Katy Meyer is not only supportive of my mission and goals but will be assisting us as being one of our wonderful board members!

June 2014 – After a year and a half of lots of invested $, tons of paperwork, calling the IRS at least monthly to follow up and patiently waiting – WE HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED OUR APPROVAL LETTER FOR OUR 501c3 TAX EXEMPTION!!
