Jordan spent his first night in foster for the wee Jordan spent his first night in foster for the weekend with our volunteer Racquel, who often takes him for days out of the shelter! 🏡😍 She said, “Jordan wanted to stop by and say he’s settling in great for his weekend sleepover 🐾 He got a bath, tried on his new PJs, and was ready for a movie night… but I think he already fell asleep 😂”

Jordan is a squishy 3 years old, 57.5 lbs Terrier / Hound mix. He knows how to melt your heart with his sweet eyes (see his pics) and he always greets you with his tail wagging! 🐶💕 Jordan’s start in life wasn’t fair. He was found with a shock collar embedded in his neck, something no dog should ever endure. ❤️‍🩹 Despite that, he is eager to please and absolutely lights up when he receives attention or treats. This good boy is ready for a loving forever home. ❣️ 

To meet Jordan, please complete an adoption application at Abandonedpetrescue.org. 🩷🩵

Jordan is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾

Hold on - meet Wanderin’ Winnie! I bet you’re wond Hold on - meet Wanderin’ Winnie! I bet you’re wondering how we named this kitty. Well, her name is no exaggeration, Winnie just wandered straight to our shelter! We have no idea where she came from, but we do know that she’s an affectionate baby who stole our hearts with her sweet little meows and biscuits. 😻🍞💕

She is super playful and loves toys, always ready to chase, pounce, and bat at anything that moves. Winnie also likes to follow you around, and once you sit down, she will happily hop into your lap for cuddles, making her the perfect combination of energetic playmate and loving companion. 🧶😸💗

If you would like to adopt Wanderin’ Winnie please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩷🩵

He looks like a Miniature Pinscher / Australian Kelpie mix and has playful puppy energy. He is very quiet and calm in his crate, but he plays like the energetic puppy that he is! Other dogs in a home should enjoy keeping up with his energy. He has been good about going potty outside, and he is treat motivated to learn new tricks. Lorenzo would be a wonderful family dog or best friend. 🐶🥅💕

Lorenzo is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. To meet Lorenzo to see if he’s a good match, please complete an adoption application at AbandonedPetRescue.org 🩵🩷 Abandoned Pet Rescue is a no-kill animal shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐾
