Abandoned Pet Rescue
Abandoned Pet Rescue (APR), founded in 1996, is a 501(C)(3) IRS tax-exempt, qualified non-profit charitable organization that rescues and shelters abandoned, abused, and neglected pets, rehabilitates them and finds them new homes. APR is one of the largest no kill animal shelters in South Florida and is devoted to the welfare of all animals.
Abandoned Pet Rescue is a unique center that stands apart from other organizations in Broward County. We believe in the integrity of the lives of all animals and proudly hold the position as Broward’s largest NO-KILL shelter. Our animals are cared for in a no-cage, “dog-dog free play”, environment which greatly reduces behavioral and socialization issues linked with kenneling. Any member of the feline or canine species that lands on our doorstep is provided with a warm bed, substantial meals and necessary veterinary care as they await adoption by a new family. We deliver a special adoption process in which soon-to-be parents have the option to take their potential pet home overnight to guarantee compatibility. Beyond the standard spay and neuter operation, every Abandoned Pet Rescue pet is tested for Feline AIDS and Leukemia, provided updated vaccinations, and a customized microchip implant. Furthermore, unlike other shelters, our mission does not stop upon your adoption. As a member of our APR community, we’d like for your continued involvement through event participation and fundraising to share your family with ours.
