Story
Hello, I'm Sampson. It's a delight to make your acquaintance. I hold the record for being the longest resident dog at Abandoned Pet Rescue. Spending almost six years in a shelter is quite a long time for a majestic 12-year-old German Shepherd like me. When I first arrived, I became protective of my kennel, and it takes me a while to trust new human friends. However, I have formed strong bonds with a few staff members and volunteers over the years who enjoy walking, training, and playing with me. I am in need of an experienced adopter who understands my quirks and protective, loyal nature, someone comfortable with my 100-pound size (that's a lot of charm!). I am seeking a soulmate in the South Florida area willing to invest time in getting to know me at the shelter before I transition to a new home. The shelter staff will demonstrate my leash-walking skills (I am even trained to wear a muzzle) and how quickly I pick up new tricks like speak, paw, and sit. I enjoy car rides and have recently discovered the delight of a Starbucks Puppuccino. My dream is to have a peaceful, calm home with a fenced yard and an abundance of squeaky toys (my favorite!). I am looking for a home without cats or kids, but I do enjoy the companionship of other dogs with a proper introduction. If you are interested in knowing more about me, please complete an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org. Kindly spread the word about me so I can find my perfect forever home. Follow the adventures of Sampson on Instagram: @Sampson_APR! Sampson is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue - a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.To 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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rex is a fantastic guy who we rescued from the Miami Dade shelter.  He has been non-reactive around other dogs, and we believe he has the potential to be dog-friendly. Rex is a sweet, loving, big boy with lots of fun, “puppy” energy! He knows "sit" & he's working on his leash manners and would benefit from continued training. Because of his size and energy level, Rex would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can safely run and play. He’s an active, loving pup with so much potential!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2026, 6:29 am
