Some of our seniors are part of our medical adoption program, which means their veterinary care will be taken care of by our clinic for the rest of their lives. ❣️

To adopt a senior pet from Abandoned Pet Rescue, visit our website abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩵🩷 Abandoned Pet Rescue is a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐾
