365+ CLUB
Peter Pan | 8 years old
Waiting for a home for 3 years & 3 months (1207 days).
Meet Peter Pan, an 8-year-old, 55 lb social butterfly with a lovable quirky streak and signature jazz hands for his dog friends. Rescued in 2022 from an overcrowded shelter, Peter has spent over three years charming everyone he meets and is now thriving, complete with a beer label cameo and elite belly rub skills. Calm in his kennel, quiet, and full of personality, he loves sunbathing, rolling in the grass, and making friends wherever he goes. Ready to fall for this underbite-smiling oddball? Follow his adventures on Instagram: @peterpan_apr

| People Who Make It Happen | |
Our volunteers are truly the heartbeat of APR. Each month, we shine a light on one incredible person whose kindness, dedication, and time help make everything we do possible. | |
