My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

On your mark, get set, go... let's play! I'm Sammy and am always up for a good time. I make friends with everyone because I have a rock star personality and some say, good looks to match (sorry for bragging). I am a 4 year old Boxer / Black Mouth Cur mix who is eager to learn anything and everything for treats and toys. I love training and know lots of commands such as sit, down, leave it, stay and drop it. Not to toot my own horn but if you're looking for a dog to dominate the agility course, do dog sports or go on jogs with...I'm right here! My favorite games are tug-of-war, fetch and being chased. 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. If you'd like to meet me and come play, please complete the adoption application at www.abandonedpetrescue.orgTo meet this adoptable pet, please fill out an adoption application at www.abandonedpetrescue.org and a team member will contact you to schedule an appointment.

More about this shelter

Abandoned Pet Rescue (APR) is one of the largest no-kill animal shelters in South Florida with the mission of rescuing and sheltering abandoned and abused cats and dogs with the goal of finding them new homes. APR's adoption center has about 150 cats and 30 dogs, all of which receive nutritious meals, veterinary care, enrichment and love.

APR, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1996 by a group of volunteers who were trapping, spaying and neutering feral cats and quickly realized the greater need to help abandoned pets and advocate for a no-kill community. APR is funded solely by generous donors and grants.
