More about the shelter
We are a small rescue specializing in herding breeds. We pull dogs from the Southeastern United States, predominantly Florida, that are on death row and literally have just hours. We take dogs of all ages and do not turn down dogs that are ill or heartworm positive. I rescued a border collie 3 years ago from a shelter, and that led to the discovery that there were many in shelters. I have property to keep dogs on and wanted to help them, so here we are today. We have a network of fosters. The dogs receive basic training, house manners, leash training, crate training, are housebroken, and vetted. We try very carefully to match dogs with people to diminish returns, and we do indeed have few returns.
Initial contact via email or phone, application to adopt must be filled out, references, especially vet refs and home checks, are done. Initial meet and greet, interview is set up. If all goes well, the dog is adopted at a set date. We do extensive education re care and integration of the dog, any current quirks or issues are discussed, feeding schedule, etc. Adopters are encouraged to call with questions and stay in contact.
About Warren

SPECIAL NEEDS: Meet Warren! Warren came to Ewenity after he and his brother were abandoned on the side of the road. After they were rescued, it was discovered that Warren lost his hearing, possibly due to an untreated ear infection. It appears this same ear infection may also have had the long-term impact of causing him to have what appear to be psychomotor seizures. These are not what you typically think of as seizures, but present as “odd” behaviors (staring at walls and corners or spinning in circles, etc.) These have been significantly reduced with a high-quality CBD oil twice a day and as needed. Since Warren is deaf, and takes his cues differently, he’s also been remote collar trained, which makes non-visual and non-verbal communication with him possible.
This handsome ACD is true to his breed and all about the activity and loves to “herd” his 4-legged friends. At about 1-1/2 to 2 years old, he’s agile, and athletic, and loves to snuggle. He’s up for all sorts of play time, but will also nap on your lap for hours.
Warren will do best in a calm, consistent home. He comes with his e-collar as well as some meds as it is imperative his treatment is continued. The rescue will also provide training support. Warren does like his dog-friends, but would do best in a home with submissive, quieter dogs, and would also be fine in a home with no other dogs. We can’t wait to see Warren finally find his always and forever. Could you be the one for him?
