Before you buy a puppy or kitten for your family t Before you buy a puppy or kitten for your family this holiday season, why not adopt one from your local shelter or rescue? 🐢🎁😸 Puppy Bailey and Kitten Pawlina are in purrfect condition and ready to go home with you! βœ¨πŸ‘πŸ’

πŸ• Bailey is a playful puppy that is very smart! You can teach this girl anything and she loves to learn and play with other energetic dogs. Bailey is about 5-months-old and 25lbs so she will most likely be around 40lbs when full grown. She looks like a Shepherd / Terrier mix with a cute fluffy tail. Bailey arrived at Abandoned Pet Rescue with an injury to her right eye that unfortunately resulted in her having her eye removed. Even though she’ll have a permanent wink πŸ˜‰ it hasn’t slowed her down as dogs can enjoy a perfectly normal life with one eye and she is proof of it. Bailey would thrive in a home with another energetic and playful dog that can match her energy or an active person who enjoys jogging/running.

🐈 Pawlina is a sweet and affectionate kitten with plenty of playful energy! She loves getting attention and soaking up affection, but she also has lots of kitten zoomies to get out. Pawlina especially enjoys playing with other kittens and would happily spend her day chasing, pouncing, and having fun with a feline friend. Once playtime is over and she’s ready to recharge, Pawlina turns into the sweetest little cuddle bug and loves snuggling up with her people. She’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, and she’s ready to find a loving home where she can be her silly, energetic self she loves to be!

To adopt Bailey, Pawlina, or any of our other pups and kitties, visit our website, abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩡🩷 They are vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾

Thank you @petnmindfortlauderdale for letting us film at your store with Bailey! πŸ“±βœ¨ to check out our upcoming raffle with PetNMind this month, visit our pinned post on our IG profile for more info.
