    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

    Adopted my cat Trixie from here and had a great experience meeting all the kitties! Can tell theyre taken care of very well and Luna in particular is really knowledgeable about all the cats and their quirks. Gave me a little care package when picking up Trixie and was informed about everything I would need to know. Highly recommend! 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

    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

    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

    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

Toni was recently brought back to Abandoned Pet Re Toni was recently brought back to Abandoned Pet Rescue through no fault of her own. ❤️‍🩹 She’s currently re-acclimating to being at Abandoned Pet Rescue once again. 

Toni is a sweet young tabby with a heart full of love. 💗 Toni adores attention and is happiest when she’s near her people, soaking up pets. She is very loving and is often one of the first cats to greet you when you walk into the room, ready to welcome you with her warm, friendly presence. 😻❤️

When she came to us in January, she had nerve damage in one of her front paws, which gives her a slight limp. It doesn’t slow her down or stop her from enjoying life. Toni is still playful, curious, and full of personality, proving every day that her little limp is just one part of what makes her special. ✨😸💕

If you’re looking for a loving companion who will return your affection tenfold, Toni is ready to find her forever home again. To meet Toni please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩵🩷

Toni is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾

Milo and Bailey have been having fun playing toget Milo and Bailey have been having fun playing together in our adoption center while they wait for a foster or forever home! 🐶🦴🎾

🩶 Milo has been waiting to find a foster or forever home for almost 3 months now. ❤️‍🩹 Milo is a 5-year-old, 70-pound cuddle bug that despite his size, is happiest snuggled up next to his person, and his true calling is being the perfect companion. 🥰 

🩶 Milo does have a condition called Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MMM). In simple terms, it’s an immune-system condition. With proper veterinary care and management, dogs with MMM can still enjoy happy, loving lives. Milo is a sweet boy who has a lot of affection to offer his forever family for many more years to come. ❤️ Milo qualifies for Abandoned Pet Rescue’s Medical Adoption Program, which means his veterinary care will be provided by APR’s clinic for Milo’s life. ❣️ He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and otherwise a happy, healthy dog.

🤎 Bailey is a playful puppy that is very smart! 🤓 You can teach this girl anything and she loves to learn and play with other energetic dogs. Bailey is about 5-months-old and 25lbs so she will most likely be around 40lbs when full grown. 

🤎 Bailey arrived at Abandoned Pet Rescue with an injury to her right eye that unfortunately resulted in her having her eye removed. Even though she’ll have a permanent wink 😉 it hasn’t slowed her down as dogs can enjoy a perfectly normal life with one eye and she is proof of it. 

To meet Milo or Bailey, please complete a foster or adoption application at AbandonedPetRescue.org. 🩵🩷
