Walk through the kennels of Pet Alliance and many other larger animal shelters in Florida and around the nation and you’ll discover quite a few dogs we lovingly call “Square Heads.”  Big, tall, short, small they have one thing in common – a head that looks a bit “square.” At first glance, some would call a dog like this a “Pit Bull” or a “bully breed”.  But truthfully, these are simply the mixed breed dogs that are now one of the most popular and most beloved dogs in America!

Dolly’s Dream is a project to encourage the adoption of our “Square Heads” and to help counter the unfortunate stereotypes and myths that some people still believe about these dogs.  Pet Alliance finds homes and new families for hundreds of these dogs each year.  They are adopted by a wide variety of people – single people, couples, grandparents and families with children of all ages. 

Each month, the Dolly’s Dream project sponsors two great dogs available for adoption at Pet Alliance.
