Story
A Message from Grace`s Foster Family: We’ve been fostering Grace since October and we have been fortunate to see how truly special she is. Grace had a tough time, being abandoned and left to fend for herself. She was in need of medical care, and fortunately, the Humane Society of Broward County`s medical staff was able to save her life. In spite of all that she has had to endure, she is still an affectionate, sweet and loving girl. Grace is house trained, rarely barks, doesn’t mind baths, and sleeps quietly through the night. She loves going on long walks, but is also a great couch companion for weekend binge watching. She loves treats, naps, and playing ball. This beautiful girl would probably do best as an only pet, as she is choosy about animal friends. She doesn’t mind getting all the attention and affection. She currently lives in a home with no children or other pets and she`s thriving! She is AMAZING. We welcome you to schedule a meet and greet with Grace so you can see for yourself what a wonderful girl she is. The family that adopts her will be the lucky ones. Grace’s friends at J.R. Dunn Jewelers have kindly sponsored her adoption fee. If she sounds like she might be a good fit for you, please fill out a pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com and come to the shelter to meet her. The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL and opens daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions, please call 954-989-3977 ext. 6.

Looking for a fun-loving dog who will keep himself entertained and carries his toys around the house? A dog who will go to the door to tell you he has to go potty. A friend who will be your constant companion. If you said `yes` then Tyson, also known as Mr. T, is your guy. This fabulous fellow, with a colorful coat, lost his home when his family moved and didn`t take him along. Four-year-old Tyson is spending time with amazing foster folks but is ready to find his forever family. His foster family reports that Tyson enjoys going to the dog park to run and play. He also enjoys looking out the windows at home to see what`s going on outside. He is sweet, playful, very affectionate and likes to sleep in his own bed with blankets! To meet Tyson, visit www.humanebroward.com to complete the pre-adoption application and then call the shelter at 954-989-3977 ext. 6 so arrangements can be made for Tyson to come back to the shelter to meet you.

Buddy was left on our veterinarian door step, tied to the railing. With a note saying he was a year and a half old, loved, well behaved, smart and a really good boy. No name or microchip. Owner stated he no longer could keep this beautiful dog at his condo. He gives paw, follows commands and loves kids. Buddy was adopted from us over a year ago and now back with us because his adopter moved to a place that would not take him. Please dont let Buddy down for the third time.

Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application Kit Kat  It’s such a big bear! He is four years old, loves belly rubs and his favorite time is to walk outside and run with a ball. He is potty trained and is being trained with other dogs around, as he wants the full attention when is with you. KitKat’s best family is a home with adults that will be committed to provide him with exercises, continue to enrich his training skills being learned such as basic commands. He loves to learn! Basically someone that knows how to get a dog’s attention with a voice command and in a respectful way. He is a big cuddly guy and loves blankets. KitKat’s past is unknown before becoming a shelter resident, and he has shown fear inside the kennel, but never outside. Meaning he could have been abused while inside one. A good Samaritan found him on the side of the road, probably abandoned. Unfortunately his dogs didn’t get along, and in tears he surrendered KitKat to the shelter where he has been since October 2023.   ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application April 28, 2024, 12:16 am

You can apply for Aggie at www.ladyluckanimalrescue.org under the “Adopt/Foster” Tab. Aggie is an adorable American Pit Bull Terrier puppy born approximately August 14, 2022. Aggie is a very sweet boy, but he is shy in new places with new people. It takes him a couple days to warm up. In his foster home, he is super outgoing, playful and LOVES to cuddle on the couch with the other resident and foster dogs, or next to you. He loves to wrestle with other dogs or play tug-o-war with a stuffed animal. He is fully crate trained.  If you’re interested in adopting Aggie, you must own your own home, with a fenced in backyard. He is completely pootty trained. He will do best in a home with another active dog, to help bring out his confidence or in a home with not a lot of foot traffic (a couple or single person). He needs someone that is patient and will continue to work with him....Are you ready to meet this handsome boy? Aggie is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, fecal tested, and vaccinated (including rabies). He is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Aggie is being fostered in Pompano Beach, FL.

You can apply for Draco at www.ladyluckanimalrescue.org under the “Adopt/Foster” Tab. Draco is a sweet American Pitbull Terrier male puppy born approximately November 16, 2023. Draco was given to someone originally, but clearly he was not feeling good. A friend of theirs brough him to an Emergency Vet where it turned out he had the parvo virus. The vet treated him, but the original owners did not have to means to properly care for Draco and could not afford his bill. We were asked to step in and to take over his care. Draco is now happy and healthy and ready for his furever home! Draco is a sweet puppy that loves other dogs of all sizes and people of all ages. He would probably be fine with cats too. He loves toys and chewing on his bully sticks. He is not a high energy boy, he has a sweet and calm demeanor. He listens well and loves taking naps on the couch or in bed with you, and just prefers to be by your side at all times. He is crate trained and working on his potty training skills, he is almost there! If you’re interested in adopting Draco, you must own your own home with a fenced in backyard.

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.

Story
Meet Cookie! 🍪 Cookie was abandoned by her family not once but twice! She was first tied to a pole at a grocery store. A rescuer found her and saw that she was microchipped! We were so grateful to hear that the owners had "lost" their precious dog and Cookie was returned promptly. A few weeks later Cookie was found roaming the streets of Miami all alone! She was picked up by animal control and brought to a shelter in Miami. 😢 Luckily the same rescuer happened to see a post about Cookie being in the shelter and could not believe it! She rushed down there to pull her from the shelter to ensure that she never ends up on the streets again. Her previous owners discarded her twice and we will ensure Cookie never has to endure this heartache again 💔 Despite all of this turmoil, Cookie is extremely resilient. All she craves is love from her foster family. She is 9 years young, spayed, and fully vaccinated. She loves all people and is especially wonderful around children! We would prefer Cookie go to a home without other pets because we do not know her history with other animals, however, feel free to inquire if you think Cookie may mix well with your household. Cookie loves to go on walks, she loves to play, and she adores rolling around and making you laugh. She is completely house trained and loves to lounge around the house. 🐾 🏡 Please help us find Cookie this senior pup the happily ever after that she deserves!
