Thank you, from the pets and people of Abandoned Pet Rescue

Thanks to your support, we reached our fundraising goal for the holiday season! To everyone who donated, volunteered, adopted and supported Abandoned Pet Rescue this year, we are grateful for you!

There were so many individuals and organizations that made this holiday season special for the cats and dogs at Abandoned Pet Rescue. Here are just some of our wonderful supporters...

Serving Justice and Saving Paws

The Fort Lauderdale Police Department Animal Crimes Unit stopped by Abandoned Pet Rescue to donate supplies, lend a helping hand, and learn about our mission as a no-kill shelter. They even brought their hard-working K9s along for a visit, which made everyone’s day. Thank you to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department for supporting pets in need and for protecting and serving our community this Animal Rights Day.

365+ CLUB

The club that no pet wants to join.

Wonder Woman | 3 years old

Waiting for a home for 975 days

Meet Wonder Woman, a brave and loving mama who truly lives up to her name. Left at our front door with her five babies, she cared for them with incredible devotion. All of her kittens have found their forever homes, and now it’s her turn. Wonder Woman gets along well with cats and dogs, loves human affection, and has a gentle, resilient spirit. She is ready to finally be cherished and showered with the love she deserves.

People Who Make It Happen

Volunteers are the heartbeat of APR. We’re celebrating one standout contributor whose time and dedication makes a real difference.
