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!

Monica (A117686)

Hi, my name is Monica and I need your help. I’m a three year old girl that’s been here at the shelter since February 21, 2019. I’m having a tough time adjusting to shelter life and it’s making me a little anxious. 

I may come across as a tad socially awkward, but I’m really a very good girl. I’m playful, affectionate, and just a little bit of comfort and security would greatly increase my confidence. 
​
I’m hoping someone will see beyond first impressions, take me home, and help me restore a little trust in humankind.  You’ll be rewarded with a loyal friend with a sweet personality and a real talent for tug-o-war.

Hello, there! My name is Bear!  (A115612)

Please bear with me as I bare my soul to tell you about myself. I’m barely 2 years old and I’ve been at the shelter since September 21, 2018. You can tell by my brindle coat, long legs, and big brown eyes that I’m a one-of-a-kind, limited edition shelter dog.

Did I mention my name is Bear? I have a real talent for eating treats, working for treats, and looking adoringly at you when you hold up a treat. It’s almost unbearably cute.

I’d love the chance to meet you. Bear in mind that I’m playful, active and overall a really good boy.

Oh! And one more thing: my name is Bear.  ​

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.
