    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

    From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming and genuinely focused on helping me find the right fit. 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

    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

    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

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

Our volunteer Julie recently took our adoptable pu Our volunteer Julie recently took our adoptable puppy Kevin out of Abandoned Pet Rescue for a chill day at home 🏡 and here’s what she had to say about him! 🐶

“Kevin was amazing! He is truly a great dog, very well behaved for a puppy for sure! He of course is a nibbler, but I had toys at home so it wasn’t a big deal. 

We loved having him and it was a great day with him!”

Thank you Julie for giving Kevin a break from the shelter! 💗 Kevin is a sweet 10-months-old puppy. He is about 35lbs, enjoys playing and being a goofy puppy, but he will also crawl into your lap for nap time. Kevin is a little shy at first, but he will thrive in a calm home that understands routine and exercise are important for a puppy. When introduced slowly to other dogs, he enjoys playing with the dogs that match his energy. 🐾🎾💕

If you’d like to get to know more about Kevin and/or fill out an adoption application, or if you’d like to become a volunteer like Julie, please visit abandonedpetrescue.org 🩵🩷 Abandoned Pet Rescue is a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴🐕

Meet Clause this Caturday, an incredibly sweet gir Meet Clause this Caturday, an incredibly sweet girl with a gentle heart and a love for life’s coziest comforts. 😻💕

Clause was found seeking shelter in a car engine on a cold, rainy day, and since then, she’s been slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place when you’re safe and loved. 🥹❤️‍🩹

While she may be timid at first, Clause begins to blossom with a little patience, sweet talk, and a few well placed head scratches. She feels most confident when curled up in one of her favorite cozy cat beds, where she loves to roll onto her back for gentle belly rubs and happily makes biscuits. It’s her special way of showing she’s content and starting to trust. 😸🛏️❤️

Clause also finds comfort in the company of other cats and enjoys snuggling up with her kitty friends, which helps bring out her playful and affectionate side. With a calm home, some TLC, and a little time to adjust, Clause is sure to grow into the loving cuddle bug she’s meant to be. If you would like to give Clause the home she’s looking for please fill out an adoption application at aboundedpetrescue.org! 🩷🩵

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

Our graphic designer Erin was just trying to give Our graphic designer Erin was just trying to give our adoptable cat Hera some love when Hera decided she prefers to be airborne! ✈️💞😹 Hera is obsessed with being held and would rather be in your arms as you and her go about your days than anywhere else! 🥹💕🐈‍⬛

Hera is a stunning tortoiseshell mama with a heart just as beautiful as her coat. She was found caring for her five tiny kittens and spent the last month devoted to keeping them safe, healthy, and loved. Now that her babies are a little bigger and more independent, Hera is finally ready to relax and enjoy some attention of her own. 😻💕🥰

This sweet girl absolutely loves affection. If she thinks she isn’t getting enough, she’ll roll, stretch, and flip around until she finally gets the pets she’s been asking for. Her silly little antics make it clear just how much she enjoys being around people, and she’s always happy to soak up every bit of love she can get. 😽💗😸

After being such a wonderful mom, Hera is ready for her next chapter, finding a home where she can be someone’s baby for a change. She’s the perfect mix of loving, playful, and charming, and she’s ready to fill her future home with plenty of tortoiseshell personality and affection. To meet Hera please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩵🩷

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