Adopt A Dog

Alley was abandoned by her owner and left to fend for herself. Her water supply was a algae filled pool and had no food. She was afraid and alone. She finally let one of our staff catch her in her alley way. So we named her Alley. She had many dog bites and was injured. Since she has been rescued she is so happy and healthy now, but she looks forward to being an inside dog in her forever home.

Victoria and Beckham are older Chihuahua mixes who were given up as the result of a nasty divorce. Instead of thinking of the dogs their dads only thought of themselves and could not 'unload' these two fast enough. Confused and abandoned they rely on each other for security and comfort. This has caused them to be protective of the other especially around other dogs. They would do best in a home together without other animals or small children. Once they find the right home and family we are certain they will settle down and learn loving being dogs again. Come in to meet them Wed - Mon from 12-5pm.

Bessie was found as a stray. She was very ill with an enlarged spleen but has fully recovered. Bessie is a sweet girl. She loves to chew bones which are her favorite. She loves to cuddle and snuggle with blankets & loves attention from people of all ages. She is a real sweetheart but is sad without a home of her own. She hopes that someone will come & meet her & take a chance on giving her a forever, loving home. You can see by looking at her that she has not had an ideal life but you would never know it by her nature. Not good with dogs or cats.

Bonnie was surrendered to us when her owners could no longer care for her. Shes a sweet goofy girl and loves attention. She is currently on a strict diet.

Cooper was found in Ft Lauderdale. He seems to be "hand shy" & probably was abused. He needs a very experienced dog owner. He does well on leash/harness. Cooper has a lot of energy & loves to jog. Cooper does need training. He needs a strong-willed but loving parent. You would have to be willing to spend weeks/months getting to know Cooper, working with him at the shelter, gaining his trust & love but letting him know he can accept your love. He needs to feel safe & secure. Cooper needs a home with adults only and be the only animal because he is a very "alpha" male dog.

Duncan and Russell came to us when their owner passed away. We don't know their history but we believe they were kept outside a lot because they are both heartworm positive and are not housetrained. They seem to be bonded so we would like to keep them together but we would consider separating. They do not like cats and are dog selective.. Come visit Duncan and Russell, Weds-Mon 12pm-5pm.

Kingston is considered a "special" needs dog. He is very timid/fearful and needs an experienced dog person. He needs gentle encouragement and training. We feel a home where he is the only dog would be best. He needs to be in an adult only home. Kingston needs a fenced yard at least 6 ft. and a safe area away from busy streets. He needs someone very patient to work with him, taking baby steps. You must will willing to work with Kingston at the shelter for weeks/months. He needs to be able to trust you & feel safe & secure. Are you that person? Come to the shelter & speak with the staff. No matter how much time it takes, Kingston still deserves a loving forever home!

Marlin is obedient and lovable. Marlin is a big boy - tall and about 60 pounds but with a very nice disposition. If you want a big lovable guy who loves to please, if you have a fenced in yard... Marlin is your guy! Don't judge Marlin in his run; he can be protective of his run. But take him outside of his run & he is a wonderful dog! Since he is a big strong boy, Marlin would do best with an experienced large dog owner. Please come in & meet Marlin...You'll be glad you did!

Milo was returned after being adopted from us for two years. He is a sweet little guy but his reason for being returned is because he has some issues with biting. He does not like strangers coming into the home and he has bitten the owner's young child. It is recommended that he does not go into a home with any young children. If you would like to visit Milo we are open Weds-Mon 12-5pm.

WILL NEED EXPERIENCED DOG OWNER, WILL REQUIRE MULTIPLE VISITS BEFORE BEING ADOPTED. Miracle was found as a stray covered in matted fur and feral, there is no telling how long he was on the streets. We gave him a grooming and within a few weeks he started coming out of his shell and felt more comfortable around humans. Hes still very selective with who he trusts and if you are interested in Miracle we ask that you come in multiple times so he gets to know you, we also prefer he go with someone who has experience with shy fearful dogs. He is dog selective, seems ok with cats, no children.

Meet Misty, she is absolutely adorable, full of energy and has a lot of love to give! Misty lost her owner due to illness and she is now looking for her new forever home! Come meet Misty Weds-Mon 12-5pm.

Odin is a very sweet dog. He has 1 eye, but does just fine. Loves to give kisses. Loves dog walks. Odin seems to know commands and may be potty trained in a home. Odin's owners were evicted and he was left behind to fend for himself. In spite of how he was treated he still loves people. Odin needs to be the only dog, he is very dog selective, doesn't like cats and would do best in a home with no young children due to his strength. Older children over 15 would do fine as he could knock down smaller children not even realizing his strength. Odin's birth date is 2/6/13.

Prince is a very energetic little guy. He is a happy, playful boy, however would prefer a home without any other animals and should not be with young children.

Rudy is a big loveable, gorgeous boy. He is a Shepherd/Malinois mix rescued from Miami-Dade Animal Services years ago. He was in a wonderful foster home until recently due to his foster mom moving and being unable to take him. Rudy has a serious medical issue which requires him to have his back feet cleaned and bandaged daily. Rudy loves to go outside for short walks. Rudy is a lovebug that needs to be in a more quiet home due to the condition of his back feet. Rudy loves people of all ages and only gets a little overzealous when eating. We would love to find Rudy a "medical foster home" where he can get the daily care and quiet atmosphere he needs. Rudy would be so happy to have a loving family & a place he could call home! Please email us at apr954@aol.com or stop in the shelter at 1137 NE 9th Ave, Ft Lauderdale, 33304 Wed-Mon from 12-5pm. Help us get Rudy a foster home today!
