Mountain Cur and Rhodesian Ridgeback Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Myers, Florida

Hello, I was named Blue Eyes due to my most noticeable feature- my stunning eyes! I am estimated at 2 years old, weigh around 50 lbs and my rescue sees mountain cur and Rhodesian ridgeback in me (best guess). I was part of a hoarding case where I had been kept in a crate with very little socialization for a long period of time. Luckily, Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue heard about me and provided the care I needed to get healthy. They have been so very gentle and patient with me as I learned to trust and how to be a "dog". While I am still a little shy at first, I am doing much better and finally ready to start looking for my furever family. I walk pretty good on leash and try to keep my kennel clean- with your help, we can establish a potty schedule that works for both of us. I have been okay with other dogs here at the rescue, but sometimes get scared when there's a lot of barking and commotion. If you have a current dog, please bring him/her to the meet and greet with you so we can all meet.

As I am still a little shy, I would do best with either no children or children over 12yrs of age that know how to be calm and gentle with me. Please understand, I am still learning how to be the bestest dog and part of a family- I will need a little extra time, patience and love.

My $150 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, spay, deworming and preventatives while in our care, heartworm test (negative) and microchip.
