My story

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

Rocky is a very sweet Australian Cattle Dog mix in need of a forever home! He is a fantastic pup, 40lbs (still growing) and is very food-motivated. Rocky has been picking up on his training quickly, he is mostly house broken and crate trained and knows "sit" and "down", but will still require basic obedience training. He loves to eat everything so he does require a puppy-proof area/crate to stay in while his owner is away from the house, but as time goes on he is improving! He has a ton of puppy energy, does fairly well with children but can get a bit nippy when overexcited, very normal herding dog behavior. He would thrive most with a lot of space to run or a very active household. Although he is always in play mode, he loves to snuggle on the couch and wind down before bed. He has a high prey drive and likes to chase cats, might do best in a cat free home or with a dog-savvy cat. He loves the company of other dogs and is happiest when he's with his person. He is a Velcro dog and will want to follow you around the house and be your adventure buddy always. He has the biggest ears and an even bigger heart. Rocky has a ton of potential and with the correct guidance will be an excellent addition to any family! Currently fostered in Englewood, FL.

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.
