Turning Scared Dogs Into Adoption Superstars

At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we do way more than just daycare and boarding. We also work with local shelters and rescues to foster dogs that need extra help before finding their forever homes. Fostering lets us give these pups a safe place, friends, and training that make them way more adoptable.

Coyote and Bobi's Amazing Journey

Coyote, an Australian Cattle Dog, and Bobi, a Terrier mix, got surrendered after spending most of their lives stuck outdoors. Both dogs had tons of potential but needed some serious confidence boosting.

Coyote was naturally bold and jumped right into pack life like he'd been waiting for it his whole life.

Bobi was shy and scared, especially around men. He needed patient, daily support to learn that humans could actually be pretty awesome.

At Hounds Town dog daycare, these two brothers got to play, make friends, and start getting ready for adoption.

Building Confidence One Day at a Time

While Coyote adjusted easily, Bobi needed way more time. Our team worked with him every single day to help him get over his fear, especially through careful introductions with male staff members.

Slowly but surely, Bobi started relaxing and showing his sweet, loving personality. This progress actually changed everything between the two brothers. It became clear they'd have the best shot at adoption if they went to separate homes.

Adoption Success Stories

Coyote was ready first and quickly found his new family after going back to the shelter. Bobi stayed with us a bit longer, where he kept building confidence and eventually started helping with temperament evaluations for new dogs. His calm, steady nature made him perfect for introducing newcomers to the pack.

Before long, Bobi found his forever home too. His journey from scared and uncertain to confident and adoptable showed just how powerful patience, routine, and friendship can be.
