My story

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

Hi there, I’m Atticus! I’m a sweet boy with big paws, a soft heart, an adorable underbite, and eyes that seem to hold more stories than I can tell. Not long ago, I was left in a crate at the doorstep of Abandoned Pet Rescue in the middle of the night. It was dark and quiet, and I didn’t know what would happen next. But kind people opened their doors to me, and since then my world has been filled with love, play, and hope.

I’m the kind of pup who believes every new person is just a friend I haven’t met yet. I absolutely adore humans and show it by giving hugs, leaning in close for cuddles, and rolling over for belly rubs once I know you’re mine. My favorite adventures include trips to the beach, running around the park, rolling in the grass, and relaxing by the lake while watching the breeze ripple across the water. I’ve got a playful side too and love games of fetch, tasty treats, and showing off my goofy smile. I’m also happy to show you the tricks I know, especially if a snack is involved! Life has taken me on a wild ride, but my heart is ready for its next chapter. I’m looking for a forever family to love endlessly, someone I can greet each morning with a wagging tail, shower with kisses, and curl up beside at night. If you think that might be you, fill out an application at AbandonedPetRescue.org. I’ll be waiting here with my sweetest smile and a hug just for you! If you’d like to follow my journey and see more of my charming personality, you can find me on Instagram at @Atticus_apr.

Atticus is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He's available for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, FloridaTo 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.
