Abandoned Pet Rescue
Fort Lauderdale's Largest No-Kill Shelter
Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL - APR is devoted to the welfare of all animals. APR’s primary goal is to assemble a no-kill community. This is quite a daunting task, nonetheless, APR is making a valuable contribution to the animal community and will continue to do so as long as support is provided from generous donors.
Abandoned Pet Rescue is a unique center that stands apart from other organizations in Broward County. We believe in the integrity of the lives of all animals and proudly hold the position as Broward’s largest NO-KILL shelter. Our animals are cared for in a no-cage, “dog-dog free play”, environment which greatly reduces behavioral and socialization issues linked with kenneling. Any member of the feline or canine species that lands on our doorstep is provided with a warm bed, substantial meals and necessary veterinary care as they await adoption by a new family. We deliver a special adoption process in which soon-to-be parents have the option to take their potential pet home overnight to guarantee compatibility. Beyond the standard spay and neuter operation, every Abandoned Pet Rescue pet is tested for Feline AIDS and Leukemia, provided updated vaccinations, and a customized microchip implant. Furthermore, unlike other shelters, our mission does not stop upon your adoption. As a member of our APR community, we’d like for your continued involvement through event participation and fundraising to share your family with ours.

Flower needs a home where she can bloom.🌻She ended up at the shelter when her owner moved and couldn't take her along. Flower is depressed and withdrawn and really needs some TLC. She is a beautiful tabby with white specks and white ankle socks. Flower will cup her head in your hand and gently ask for pets and plead with her saucer wide eyes for you to take her home.💕She is a gentle, loving cat who just needs a second chance. To step up for Flower, apply at www.abandonedpetrescue.org. Flower was born in 2020 and needs a home where she can flower-ish...we're just planting a seed.😉

Meet Curly & Curly Sue who have a sad story to tell. One early morning this week, we arrived to work to find this senior dog tied to our shelter door with his cat friend in a crate beside him.💔 They were abandoned in the middle of the night with no water. Despite being scared, both Curly and Curly Sue are sweet natured. We have promised them that their next home will be their forever home! Curly is a 12 year old Irish Wolfhound mix weighing about 35lbs and Curly Sue is an adult tabby cat. Instead of commenting about their past (because these two are only looking ahead at a brighter future:), please give them positive vibes and lots of shares to find them the best new homes. ❤️☀️🙏🏼🏡
