Pet of the Month

Pet of the Month: Is there room in your home for Lyon?

At Abandoned Pet Rescue, Broward County's largest no-kill animal shelter, we believe every animal should have the opportunity to enjoy a long, happy life.  We'd like to introduce you to one of our very special dogs, 18-month old Lyon.

Lyon had a rough start in life: before coming to us, he spent his entire life in a tiny cage in a garage.  Lyon could not fully stand up in his cage, and had very little human contact.  We were worried that Lyon would not be able to adjust to living with people, but he has proved to all of us how resilient a dog can be.  He went on his first public walk in December at the Victoria Park Civic Association's Cause 4 Paws 3K Walk and Fun Dog Show.  Although he was a bit wobbly on the leash at first, he loved meeting people and other dogs.  Here is what some of our volunteers had to say about Lyon:

"What a great boy he was, very affectionate! I wish I could have taken him!" - John

"I walked Lyon this morning.  All I can say is he is a loverboy.  He also walked beautifully on a leash, an amazing, beautiful, and gentle soul." - Melissa

Lyon is a gorgeous dog with a soft red coat who would make a great addition to a home with other dogs.  Our shelter is open every day of the week from noon to 5 p.m. Stop by to meet Lyon and the rest of our other pets!
