Story
Piper is an active girl who knows basic commands, is house and crate trained and is working on manners. She does better with routine and boundaries. She is hesitant and guarded when first meeting people, however, once she calms down she quickly warms up to new people. She is very food motivated and will do anything for a treat - so that is definitely a tool for you to use! Piper needs socialization with people and dogs and requires an experienced handler. She and her foster brother play well and also lay around chilling. She has some resource guarding with food, which is very common with shelter dogs given their situation and usually very easily trained out. She will be a great dog for an active couple. Hiking, ball play, agility training, road trips and farmers market could all be in her future. Her water skills are unknown at this time. Fenced yard and dog savvy folk are needed, along with a desire to continue training this sweet girl and exposing her to the big world!! Piper is located in Naples. Applications are found at ewenityfarmsbch.com.

Story
Flower formally known as Bullet. We gave her a re-brand since the name Bullet does her no favors, really she's just a sweet stinker. She is a very active heeler mix, makes a great walking or running companion. She would do best with a single person or couple without young children, sometimes she plays extremely rough, and doesn't seem to realize her strength. She still needs to learn manners and presence with other dogs. As of right now, she would do best being the only dog, and would thrive one on one. She has been dog reactive, but maybe with socialization, that could change. She's very smart and needs the opportunity to learn boundaries and manners. She is in need of someone whom is patient and willing to put the training into her, she would also make a great sport dog, he has some awesome jumping skills. She was in Okeechobee shelter, this girl is in need of a heeler savvy/ active dog home that can provide her with mental stimulation and activities to tone down all that energy, combine that with some basic training and she will be an awesome girl!! She is very loving, sweet gives kisses. She wants to play so bad, and have personal attention. She is a bit mouthy, barks at you for play time, she also likes to place her mouth on your arm, she just needs re-direction with a toy. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, she just wants to play and kiss on you. Get your application in quick to adopt this sweet girl at ewenityfarmsbch.com.. more pix to come!!!

Story
PINTO made it to Florida!! We were asked to help him find a furever home. That should be NO issue as he is super cute!! Here is his info: Pinto is around 8 months old. Small Heeler mix and maybe some dachshund, he is a sniffer!, He is house broke, kennel trained, and likes other animals big or small. He just wants all the love, his family could no longer have him so he has been staying in a home in Texas who can no longer keep him. Other heeler rescues in Texas are full. He was said to be scared of Men, however he loves the guy who transported him and now is fostering him, He just needs someone with a little bit of patience, lots of love, some dog savvyness and give him a chance! He loves to have his chest scratched and rubbed and will fall asleep in your arms doing so. Sometimes this little dude will get the zoomies, and gives face licks with love nibbles, which are hard to not love. He will bark at you upon his first meet up, he needs to warm up to you. He just wants to play and love! He does good with horse and goats too! He is around 25 pounds and will not get any bigger. He needs to be neutered.

Story
Born: 5/1/2024 Sam is a very sweet Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix in need of a forever home! He is a fantastic pup, 40lbs (still growing) and will probably grow to be 45-50lbs at full size. Sam is extremely smart and picks up on commands with just a couple of tries. That said, he will get bored easily and his forever home should have plans to keep him busy. He is housebroken and has learned to ring a bell by the door when he needs to go out. He is also crate trained and knows "sit" and "down", but would still benefit from some basic obedience training. He would thrive most with a lot of space to run or a very active household. Although he is always in play mode, he has an off switch and loves to snuggle with his person before bedtime. Sam is currently fostered on a 5-acre farm with horses, chickens, cats and occasional child visitors. He will chase cats that aren't dog-savvy, but he has done well with the cats and chickens in his foster home. He is happiest in the company of other dogs and 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. Sam has a ton of potential and with the correct guidance will be an excellent addition to any family! Currently fostered in Brooksville, FL.

Story
Please welcome Loxie to Ewenity Farm. She is a very very scared 2 yr old heeler mix. Curious about attention and people, yet very scared about the world, she will take some time to open up and start gaining confidence. Currently fostered in Bradenton with a temporary foster. She is in need of a foster that has some dog savvy, fenced yard, and another kind patient dog, not in your face variety. She will blossom in a quiet environment. No we are not housebroken, leash broken, we are just broken and will need time to be fixed. If anyone can help please let us know! Thanks!! PUPDATE Loxie nka Pan is doing better slowly and exploring. She was scared at the vets but allowed handling and all care could be given including nail trim. Pan has received all her vax and is heartworm positive. We will be treating her slow kill method, which is nothing more than heartgard every month for a year, then retesting. Please consider fostering this sweet girl for a few months to help her along the way to a forever home!! PUPDATE Red Pan is doing well!! She is very submissive, but loves people. Loves other dogs, plays well with them!! We are learning to walk on lead and do some very basic commands. While she is submissive she is also curious and is very polite amongst other dogs. You can see sheer joy on her face when she is running. She does seem to like the water, so she may be a water baby! She does not yet know how to play with toys, but will easily learn. Fostered in Bradenton and ready to go to a new home with folk that can be patient loving and consistent, and let this pup blossom at her own speed. It will not take long!! Another kind dog is a must! She is still learning not to jump up on people so toddlers should be a no.. Older kids will be okay....

Story
Bandit is a handsome, affectionate, and playful Australian Cattle Dog with a stumpy tail, about 2 years old, 35lbs, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He's crate- and house-trained, walks well on a leash, and is very trainable. He also loves his toys, playing fetch, and exploring the yard. Bandit is all cattle dog! People- and dog-friendly when introduced slowly, he loves to be loved on, and like most heelers can also be a little mouthy and wary of strangers at first but is also devoted to his people and will follow them anywhere. Bandit is focused, curious, alert, athletic, super-smart, and has an off switch too. He will need an adopter who is experienced with the breed and all it offers. We believe Bandit could be a working or sport dog prospect and would also be a great companion for an active, athletic, heeler-savvy person or family with a willingness to help him realize his potential and live his best life! Bandit is currently fostered in the Jacksonville, FL area (Amelia Island) but transport can be arranged. Adoption applications can be found at www.ewenityfarmsbch.com.

Story
Meet Giblets! Small in stature but big in personality this little ball of energy will keep you on your toes. She’s a 2 year old female unaltered Australian Cattle Dog Mix - mixed with what we don’t know - but she’s 100% cattle dog. Cattle dogs also know as red heelers or blue heelers, are considered one of the top 10 most intelligent dog breeds and Giblets is no exception. This red heeler will be the most loyal and energetic companion you have ever met. Quite frankly we don’t know why she hasn’t been snatched up by now. If you like an active ball chasing, frisbee catching partner she’s your gal. This amazing working dog is not only strong and resilient but easily trainable. ACD’s are known to excel at dock diving and agility but they do have a hard off switch to relax and be that couch potato you need, but only for a little while. She has work to do. She will protect your home and loved ones making her the perfect family pet. Every dog lover needs the experience of being “owned” by an Australian Cattle Dog. If you’re ready for an adventure and a lifetime of love, consider adopting Giblets today! For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home. PLAY! K9 Rescue will pay for the spay/neuter of this adopted dog. The spay/neuter must be done at a clinic or veterinarian's office approved by PLAY! K9 Rescue. If the adopter chooses to take the pet to their own veterinarian for the spay/neuter procedure, PLAY! K9 Rescue will refund the cost equivalent to an approved PLAY! K9 Rescue veterinarian or clinic. All of our unaltered pets have a fully refundable deposit of $150.00 included within the adoption fee. Once the pet is altered at the appropriate time and proof supplied to our rescue, the adopter will be reimbursed $150.00. Our adoption contract explains this process in detail.

Story
With a personality as strong as the one he is named after, six-year-old Apollo is a legend all his own. He is full of fiery spirit and is eager to go and do almost everything. He is very handsome and knows just how charming he needs to be to win you over. When out in the yards, he runs all over with a smirk across his face, enticing those around to join the fun. His favorite activity is playing ball, showcasing his speed while proudly bringing the ball back, triumphantly. A close second is going on a nice long walk with some of our volunteers. He is in need of some leash training as he can pull at times, and he loves to play grab the leash when first putting it on. He will sit for treats, which has helped, and has shown he is very treat motivated. Toys are also a fun pasttime, squeakers or a good stuffed Kong with peanut butter keep this guy happy. Apollo can be affectionate, showing it in his own way by leaning up against your legs, and is always prompt for scratches, but is not a fan of full on embracement. He has been making more and more human friends, but is not to happy sharing space with other canine companions. With such a large personality, an experienced owner would be ideal for this exceptional dog. Adventure, excitement and a world of opportunity, Apollo would make a wonderful addition to the right home, come see for yourself at Satchel's Last Resort! For an appointment to meet Apollo, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will get back to you.

Daisy is a 7 yr old Aussie or possible Aussie/BC mix, spayed on 1/13 and good with cats and kids. She is heartworm positive, and is already started on pretreatment. Ewenity will cover treatment costs for the heartworms. Daisy is being fostered in Palmetto, Florida. She just arrived at her foster's house on 1/19 and is extremely sweet and settling in nicely. ABOUT DAISY: *Very loving! She is as cuddly as they come. She would love to be a lap dog, and she will soak up all the attention you're willing to give. *Good in a crate. She is good in either an airline crate or a wire one. No separation anxiety. *Rides well in the car. *Good with cats. She ignores the cats in the house who are free-roaming; however, we have seen intense interest in birds. Her notes from the shelter say NO CHICKENS and I believe this is correct. *Super-social with people. She is sweet and submissive but will go up to anyone for pets, including kids. *Not destructive in the house, although she will get up on furniture. *Excellent leash-walker. Does not pull, and is not reactive to other dogs or people. *Not a barker. *Does not seem to have any basic obedience training. We are starting the fundamentals. *Dogs: See SPECIAL NEEDS below *Size: 37 lbs. She needs to gain a little weight.
