    Recently I drove a couple of hours to adopt the most beautiful and loving cat, Mia, aka Wonder Woman, from APR. This is my second adoption from APR and I could not have been happier with either. Luna was amazing in ensuring we were a good fit and things could not have worked out better. I have no hesitation in recommending APR with Luna and the team to anyone. Thank you Guys! Read More

    The staff and adoption process at APR is amazing. You can tell right away they love and take very good care of all the animals. From setting up the first meeting with our 2 kitties Lexi & Lily, to the adoption process has been flawless. Luna, who attended us was very nice and a wealth of knowledge. This is our first time ever having a pet and her advice and ongoing support is priceless and very much appreciated. 10/10 recommend APR! Best decision ever! Read More

    Such an amazing experience. Erica truly took the time to understand my lifestyle and matched me perfectly with Ruger; she knew Ruger was the one — and she was absolutely right! He is my laugh machine, my shelf duster with the wagging tail, my goofball, and my "Little Man".Huge thanks to Erica, the staff, and Ruger’s foster family. I found my FURever dog and couldn’t be happier. Read More

    This is a wonderful & well organized rescue. The staff is professional and caring. They all truly love the animals so much. Caring for a pet is a serious commitment and they try their best to find the most loving and most appropriate home for that dog or cat. I have supported this rescue for many years. After my own pet crossed the rainbow bridge it took me some time before I was ready. When i was I knew i wanted to rescue a dog from APR. I rescued a wonderful dog and he has made a wonderful addition to my family. Please do not hesitate to rescue from APR. Read More

    The BEST place to adopt a pet! They walk you through every step and give you a great take-home care package for your new family member. Luna was fantastic throughout the adoption of our cat Cheeto, and she has stayed in touch and answered many of my questions as a first-time cat mom. I have since adopted from other shelters, and the experience I had here was leaps and bounds better than the experience I had at the different places. Read More

Erica was especially great and she took the time to understand what I was looking for and made sure Bosco and I were a great match.She also helped me get all the supplies I needed so I could start off on the right foot as a new dog owner. The whole process felt supportive, thoughtful and stress-free.I’m grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt! Read More

Marimo wanted to give an update from her foster ho Marimo wanted to give an update from her foster home! 🏡💖 Her foster dad said, “She is amazing, everyone that meets her says how sweet she is and how calm. She’s good with other dogs. I haven’t heard her howl one time. She barely barks. She loves her pets, and will go to each person to get love. A dog this easy doesn’t come along often.”

Thank you for fostering Marimo, AKA Mimo! 🐶 Marimo is a mellow 5 years old Husky with beautiful blue eyes. She has excellent manners and goes potty outside. She is shy at first, but with a little sweet talk, Marimo leans against you for attention. 🥹💕🥰

She has done well going to adoption events and she is friendly with other calm dogs. She likes to play fetch with stuffed toys and get belly rubs. 🎾✨ A family that knows the intelligence of her breed would make a great home. She is a petite girl at 45 lbs and is already spayed, vaccinated, microchipped. 

To adopt Marimo, please fill out an application at AbandonedPetRescue.org. 🩷🩵 you can follow her adventures @marimovibes_apr

Meet Columbia, a loving cat with a big, spirited p Meet Columbia, a loving cat with a big, spirited personality! 💖😸 She currently lives in our clinic, where she adores sleeping on the heating pad for our fluids, supervising the staff to make sure everyone is staying on task, and giving us a playful whack if we forget her food or simply if she wants a little extra attention. 🩺🐱⛑️ Full of energy, charm, and character, she’s more than ready to find a home of her own. 🥹🏡

Columbia also qualifies for the Abandoned Pet Rescues Medical Adoption Program because she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which means her all of her veterinary care will be provided at Abandoned Pet Rescue for the rest of her life. ❣️

You don’t have to travel to South America to meet Columbia, just fill out an application at www.abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩷🩵 you can follow her adventures @columbia_apr

Rush is the definition of “a good boy!” 🐶✨ This 2- Rush is the definition of “a good boy!” 🐶✨ This 2-year-old, 50lb Rhodesian Ridgeback mix is very smart and knows basic commands plus he is fully potty trained. 🤓 He even waits to be told to eat when his food is put down. 🦴🦮

He was once loved by a family who could no longer care for him. ❤️‍🩹 He is friendly with everyone he meets and wags his tail at the other dogs at the shelter. Rush likes to play and is a goofy with his toys. 🤪❤️

Rush is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He has a big smile that shows off his clean, white teeth! 😃 To meet Rush, please complete an adoption application at AbandonedPetRescue.org! 🩵🩷

Hope and Angie wanted to hop on this trend in the Hope and Angie wanted to hop on this trend in the hopes someone will see and adopt them! 😻✨ at Abandoned Pet Rescue, we think anyone who adopts a cat or dog from us is pretty cool 👉😎👉

🩶 Angie is a fun loving little kitten with plenty of energy and a big personality! This playful girl loves keeping busy, whether she’s chasing after her favorite toys or having a fun filled play session with her kitty friends. Angie was found sitting in the middle of the road when a kind police officer stopped to rescue her and get her to safety. Now that she is safe and cared for, Angie is ready to find her forever home. She’s looking for a loving family where she can play, explore, and fill her new home with lots of kitten fun and affection! 💕😸

🤎 Hope is a wild child with endless energy and a whole lot of personality! This playful girl loves to play with absolutely anything she can get her paws on. Whether she’s chasing toys, playing with other kittens, or finding something new to entertain herself with, Hope is always ready for her next adventure. Her playtime seems to have no end. At least until she finally runs out of steam and crashes into a deep, cozy sleep! Hope was found on Federal Highway by one of our volunteers and was brought to safety. Now she is safe, happy, and ready to find a forever home where she can keep her new family laughing with her playful antics and endless kitten energy. 💖😽

They are vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾 Apply to adopt them together or separately at AbandonedPetRescue.org! 🩵🩷
