This Senior Sunday, Homer’s foster pawrents came t This Senior Sunday, Homer’s foster pawrents came to Abandoned Pet Rescue to talk about why they think you should adopt Homer. 🩶🐶🏡

Homer is an easygoing boy that is content to lay by your side while you watch TV or work from home. He is potty trained, crate trained and knows sit. He takes treats gently and loves to give kisses. He is about 8-years-old and 50lbs of sweetness. Homer previously lived with another dog and kids. He learned the sit and give paw commands quickly because he’s treat motivated and loves to make you happy! 🦴😋🥰

He is good on car rides and very well-behaved in a home according to our volunteer who recently fostered him. He does like to chase lizards and can be strong on a leash when he sees one, but otherwise he walks well and enjoys his walks! 

He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is a healthy boy according to his bloodwork and physical exam. Homer would make a wonderful companion and best friend so please adopt him at AbandonedPetRescue.org 🩷🩵 Abandoned Pet Rescue is a no-kill animal shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐾
