Our adoptable (and adorable) Husky Ariel wanted to Our adoptable (and adorable) Husky Ariel wanted to send her greetings from foster! 👋🐶 Here is what her foster dad had to say about her in the home:

Thank you to our volunteer Anthony for fostering her! 💕🏡 We’d also like to thank one of our partners Veterinary Formula, who is sponsoring her adoption fee! 💙✨

You can apply to adopt Ariel, or sign up to become an APR foster via our website, abandonedpetrescue.org 🩷🩵 She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue - a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐾

Alice is back at Abandoned Pet Rescue and looking Alice is back at Abandoned Pet Rescue and looking for another foster home to help her build confidence. ❤️‍🩹🐶❤️

Alice was thriving in her foster home! While they are put of the country, this shy girl would love to be back in a quiet home again. 🏡💕 The ideal place would be one without young kids or other pets. 

She loves to go for walks, is a snuggle queen, and has excellent house manners! 🥰✨ Her favorite thing is to give paw and hold your hand once she trusts you. 🫶🥹

Alice is 3 years old and small at 40 pounds. Supplies will be provided for a foster. You can apply to adopt or foster her on our website, abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩷🩵 

She is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Abandoned Pet Rescue is a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐾
