I love burrowing under blankets where it's warm and cozy. I know many commands like sit, paw, heel. I need a slow introduction to other dogs, but have walked well with some dog friends at the shelter. I was previously in a home with children and loved playing with them. I love water so if you have a pool, consider me in! I’m not a fan of cold weather, but if I have my sweater on and you by my side, I'll brave any climate. I am a smart cookie (or cake, that is), and I'm ready to blow out my candle and make my one wish for a forever home. To meet Babycakes, please fill out an application at abandonedpetrescue.org

Hi friends, my name is Cocoa. I am a sweet, wiggly girl that loves to be with my human friends. I give so many kisses and I love to sniff. I am very observant, which is partly because I am hearing impaired. I am partly or fully deaf so my other senses are very keen. There are many ways to train deaf dogs and I'm a smart girl who likes to learn. Just ask one of the kennel techs who has been working with me and says I'm an A+ student! I am a 1.5 years old and have bounced around homes and am now in a shelter due to no fault of my own. I am ready to thrive in a forever home. I am just 40lbs and look like a Pointer / Terrier mix or an oreo cookie with my white fur and black spots. I need a little time to warm up to other dogs, but I was previously in a home with a fur-sibling. Please come fall in love with me, by completing an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org

I dream of a home with a yard so I can run off some of my energy, and then I am content to rest and play with my toys. I want so badly to please my human friends and am just hoping to meet someone who likes to have as much fun as I do. I am friendly with most dogs, but I know I can be intense sometimes because I give them so many kisses.

Hi, I am Sampson. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the longest dog resident at Abandoned Pet Rescue. Four years is way too long for an 8-year-old, majestic German Shepherd like me to be in a shelter. When I first arrived, I became protective of my kennel and since, it takes me time to trust human friends, but over the years, I have made great friends with a handful of staff members and volunteers who love walking me, training me and playing with me. I need an experienced adopter who understands how loyal and protective I can be plus someone who is comfortable with my size as I'm 100lbs (that's a lot of charm!). I'm looking for a soulmate in the South Florida area who will be committed to getting to know me at the shelter for a while before I am able to go home. My friends at the shelter will show you how great I walk on a leash (I am even muzzle trained) and how quickly I learn new tricks like speak, paw, sit. I enjoy car rides and just recently I discovered the joys of a Starbuck's Puppuccino. I dream of a quiet, calm home of my own with a fenced yard and lots of squeaky toys (those are my favorite!). I need a home without cats and kids, but I do enjoy the companionship of some other dogs with a proper introduction. If you are interested in learning more about me, please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org and please tell your friends about me so I can finally find the right home.

Hello there, I'm Scraggles, the tennis ball fetch champion of the world! My favorite stunt is a backflip while catching the ball midair and hitting a perfect landing. I am a scruffy, 2-year-old Labrador / Patterdale Terrier mix who weighs 50lbs. I need a home with a yard, even just a small yard, so we can play fetch together. I walk great on a leash and enjoy rolling in the grass for belly rubs. I love treats and am incredibly smart so you can teach me many things. I have never been to an agility course, but any athletic activity is right up my alley. Even though I'm athletic, I am a good balance of calm but playful. I am potty trained and keep my kennel very clean. I prefer being friends with female dogs and just need a little time to get to know them.

Sol was rescued during the Solstice - the night her life changed fo ever for the better. This sweet, young Boxer / Terrier mix was found running in the middle of a busy road and came to our shelter completely shut down.
