Meet Angus, aka Gus, a handsome Hound/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with soulful eyes and a sweet personality who has spent 918 days waiting for a home. ❤️‍🩹 He is our featured 365+ dog in Abandoned Pet Rescue’s November Newsletter.

At 11 years old and 75 lbs, he’s a gentle giant and, at heart, a total baby. ❤️🥹 Gus is crate and potty-trained and does well on leash with proper guidance from our trainer, though he’s very strong and needs a confident handler. 🦮💪

He loves relaxing with his favorite stuffed toys and would thrive with a loving pack leader in a home with a fenced yard. Gus is currently healing from a foot injury, which can be difficult to recover from in a kennel environment. A foster home or adopter could give him the comfortable, peaceful space he needs to heal. 💕🏡🐶

Could you help Gus get back on his paws? 📲 Follow his journey on Instagram at Angus APR 🐕

Visit our website, abandonedpetrescue.org to learn more about Gus and our other 365+ adoptables, or to get signed up for our monthly newsletter! 🩷🩵

It might be a rainy November first here in Fort Lauderdale 🌧️, but on sunnier days, our volunteer Gerry loves to take our senior Velvet for outings from the shelter! ☀️🚙🐶

Velvet is a sweet nine-year-old, 52-pound Staffordshire/Hound mix with a mellow, gentle, and affectionate personality. 💕 She’s potty trained, quiet in her kennel, and walks nicely on a leash. 🦮 Velvet is dog-friendly but prefers calm dogs who won’t jump on her or overwhelm her. She would be a wonderful companion for a relaxed home and is happiest with people who enjoy quiet time and cuddles. 🥰

One of our volunteers found Velvet near the train tracks and helped bring her to safety. ❤️‍🩹 Now she’s at Abandoned Pet Rescue, where she’s waiting for a peaceful home and a person to call her own. ❤️

Velvet is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and overall a healthy pup. To meet this beautiful girl, please complete an adoption or foster application at AbandonedPetRescue.org! 📲 If you’d like to become a volunteer like Gerry, fill out the application form under “volunteer” 🩷🩵

This Senior Sunday, meet two of our newest vintage cats, Victoria and Shadow! 😻💕🐈‍⬛ Victoria and Shadow are not a bonded pair, but they are both looking for loving homes of their own. Read below to get to know them better! ❣️

🤎 Meet Victoria, a beautiful senior Siamese with the most stunning blue eyes! This sweet girl is looking for a calm, loving home where she can spend her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored. Victoria can be a little timid at first, but with a little time, her sweet personality begins to shine. She gains a lot of confidence from having other kitties around, so her ideal home would include a friendly feline companion to help her feel comfortable and secure. She is also good with calm dogs! Victoria is an easygoing girl who enjoys the simple things in life, whether that means lounging on a cozy bed, relaxing by a sunny window, or simply enjoying the peace and comfort of a loving home. She isn’t asking for much, just a soft place to land, a little patience as she settles in, and someone who will love her for the wonderful girl she is. Victoria deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by warmth, comfort, and love.

🖤 Meet Shadow, an adorable senior kitty with a sleek black coat, a tiny patch of white on his chest, and the brightest green eyes! This sweet boy is full of love and affection. True to his name, Shadow loves following you around and will come to you with the cutest little meow when you call his name. He is cat friendly and gets along with calm dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a loving home. Shadow is a laid back guy who wants nothing more than to spend his days lounging by your side and soaking up all the cuddles he can get. He’s looking for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by comfort, companionship, and plenty of affection.

To meet Victoria or Shadow, please fill out an adoption application at Abandonedpetrescue.org. 🩵🩷

Both girls are affectionate, playful love bugs who adore attention, cuddles, and spending time with their people. Whether you’re looking for a playful companion or a professional lap warmer, Twix and Kit Kat are ready to sweeten your life with plenty of purrs and love! 🥰💝😻

Cowboy Cooper is a squishy 65lb American Bulldog that loves nothing more than pressing himself into your arms for big hugs. 🐶🤠❤️

This 5-year-old pup is smart beyond his years as received extensive professional training through Magic City K9, an organization that accepted Cooper into their unique program and he lived with trainers at Everglades Correctional Facility in Miami, where inmates and dogs work together to build skills, confidence, and brighter futures. 💖🤓

Thanks to this experience, Cooper has learned over 40 commands and truly enjoys using his brain. 🧠 He made friends with many of the dogs in his training class, but a home as the only dog would be ideal for Cooper as he adjusts to a loving home after being in a shelter for several years. ❤️‍🩹🏡

Cooper is a total softie once he knows you, but he does take a few walks and treats to warm up to strangers, so he needs time to build trust. A low-traffic home is ideal. He has excellent house manners and is overall a chill, affectionate dog! 💕🥰

He is low energy as his favorite pastime is snuggling, but he enjoys going for walks and playing with toys. He is potty trained and well-behaved in his kennel. Cooper is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

To meet Cooper, please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩷🩵 Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾
