My name is Abigail. I ran from Pets At Risk Rescue for 6 months before they caught me. I was scared of people but very relieved finally to be off the streets and safe. I am about 2 years old, very obedient and house trained. I like other dogs but don't care too much for kids. I think I am a Shepherd mix with a beautiful coat. I sure would like a new home soon!
Happy Tails!

Who We Are
Pets At Risk Rescue is a no-kill, nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, placement, education and awareness of companion animals. Our existence is solely based on donations and adoption fees. We house, nurture and maintain abandoned, sick, abused, deaf and injured companion animals.
Adopting a friend
Adopting a companion animal is a serious commitment. These sensitive, loving animals will depend on you for their health, training, and future welfare. Owning any companion animal is not inexpensive. The adoptive family should be prepared to provide food, water and health care in addition to comfort and affection. Health care cost include regular visits to your veterinarian and the necessary year round flea control and heartworm prevention. You will be required to obtain a license for your companion animal in the county in which you reside and to renew that license yearly.
All companion animals have potential to develop behavior problems. Though the staff and volunteers at Pets At Risk Rescue are available to assist you in finding solutions to any behavior problems our adoptive families develop, it is our expectation that the adoptive families will take whatever steps necessary to solve these problems. This may mean consulting a professional dog trainer for classes or private instructions.
How do I adopt?
Before becoming available for adoption, each companion animal is spayed or neutered, tested for heartworm, fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, socialized and house trained.
Adoption applications are completed by those serious about adopting. A one on one introduction takes place to insure that each applicant understands the companion animal and observes personality qualities, temperament and responsiveness. Once the adoption has been finalized, the pet is then delivered to its new home and a home visit is conducted.
We encourage families to bring the little ones along to take part in the decision making. Other pets are always a consideration and are also encouraged to take part.
Thank you for your interest in adopting one of these special animals. Please contact Pets At Risk Rescue for any further questions you might have at (305) 940-3320 or via email at PETSATRISK@aol.com.
