The Dolly's Dream project funded by the Levitetz Family Foundation promotes a better understanding of square-headed dogs and champions their adoption. Through this program the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County (HSVB) is able to feature two very special dogs who are looking for fur-ever homes and whose adoptions are sponsored by Dolly's Dream.

When you chose to adopt one of these dogs, the following are free:
  • Adoption fee ($80 value)
  • Pet ID Tag
  • Collar
  • Leash
  • Tri-Heart heartworm preventative (6 months supply) 
  • Spay/neuter 
  • Crate
  • Food and Water Bowls
  • Package of Treats & Toys
  • 1 Year membership to the HSVB Dog Park
  • Behavior Training Classes

In addition, depending upon the needs of your new friend, additional training classes, special harnesses and other items may be added to the Dolly's Dream package. 

Thank you to the Levitetz Family Foundation for promoting the adoption of these dogs!

Yo!  Tyson here!  (A116807)

I’ve been at the shelter since December 11, 2018, I’m neutered, about 5 years old, and a good boy. Seriously. I may be a second hand dog, but I’m all set to be a first class pet. We can walk together, go on car rides, share some bacon, whatever you want. Oh, and just show me a tennis ball and I’ll show you my undivided attention. I love those! Have you ever wanted something so bad that you’d give up all your tennis balls for it? That’s how much I want a loving, forever home. But .. if you just happen to have tennis balls you want to share with me, that would be pretty awesome, too.hy I’m the Champ. No trophies, no ribbons, just a great pal and great company.

Hi, I’m Lexy!  (A115894)

I know it’s important information, but a girl doesn't like to share her age. Let’s just say I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 years old, but those are simply numbers. My personality knows no such boundaries. Don’t let the short legs fool you: I’m athletic with a healthy level of pawsitive energy. You want to play? I. Can. Play. You choose the game and watch me go. Can I be serious for a minute? I’ve been at the shelter since October 15, 2018 and I’m being as good as I can be while I wait for the right person to take me home and show me all the wonderful things outside these walls. Won’t you give a girl a chance?

Success: Dolly's Dream Dogs find the way to their Fur-ever homes.

Thank you for making their dreams come true.

Visiting the Dog Park?

Help keep your dog safe. If you see any of the following behaviors, you need to intervene, interrupt, and pull your dog out.
1: Rolling

When one dog makes physical contact with another and knocks into him, causing him to tumble, somersault or roll over.
2: Tucked Tail

When the dog’s tail is so low the base is pressed tight to the anus. The tip of the tail is often under the stomach.
3: Pinning

When one or more dogs has another dog on its side or back for more than 5 seconds.
4: Hiding or Hovering

When the dog spends more than 5 seconds underneath something or hovering near a human. Dog’s tail will be low or tucked.
5: Group Chase

When more than one dog is chasing another dog. This can quickly become out of control.
