Sweet, shy 1-year-old Ambar (ID A702773) has seen all her friends get adopted and is wondering when it will finally be her turn? This precious girl, who is just over a year old, with time and patience, will come out of her shell. On her day out of the shelter, Ambar overcame fears and was so brave! She learned to jump in and out of the car, walked into unknown places, allowed kind strangers to say hi, and explored new surroundings. Ambar is dog friendly and has done very well in play groups with other dogs at the shelter. She has a sweet disposition, warms up to you, is very attentive when you talk to her, and super expressive! She’s completed her heart worm treatment so courageously and needs to take it easy for the next few months. We’re confident once she’s in her forever home and feels safe, she’s going to soar to new heights. All she needs is someone to give her the second chance she so deserves.

Ambar’s friends at @jrdunnjewelers have kindly paid her adoption fee. If she sounds like she might be a good fit for you, please fill out a pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com and come to the Humane Society of Broward County to meet her. The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL, and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions, please call 954-989-3977. The shelter’s vaccine clinic is open 6 days a week, no appointment necessary. Visit the website for hours and details.

Adoption Ambassador: If you can provide a temporary home for a large-breed dog, become an Adoption Ambassador for the Humane Society of Broward County. Ambassadors help market the pet through your network of friends and associates, while giving the pet a vacation from the shelter environment. Sometimes a different setting is all that is needed to help our furry friends find their forever home.

Spay/Neuter Services:

Vaccine Clinic: Is open Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 5:30 PM (close daily from 11:40 – 1:00 for lunch). This is a walk-in service, and you may experience a wait of up to an hour. All cats must be in carriers and dogs on a leash at all times. If you have a retractable leash, please keep it short.

Animal Admissions: The Admissions Department is open by appointment only. Please call 954-266-6873 and allow 48 hours for a call back. Closed on major holidays.

Foster Care: If you can provide a foster home for a cat or large-breed dog, please visit the HSBC website and complete a foster application.
