Two adorable pets with very different stories are hoping to find loving families at Broward County Animal Care, where adoption fees are waived for both animals.

Pie, a gentle 3-year-old dog, and S’mores, a friendly 1-year-old calico cat recovering from an injury, are among the animals waiting for a second chance at happiness.

Meet Pie

Pie (A2481037) is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire terrier mix weighing 25 pounds. Although she can be shy when meeting new people, shelter staff say she quickly warms up and reveals her affectionate personality.

The sweet-natured pup would likely thrive in a calm household where she can gradually build confidence and feel comfortable in her surroundings.

Pie is already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped and has tested negative for heartworm. She is ready to go home with an adopter the same day.

Her adoption fee is waived, leaving only the required $25 pet registration fee.

Meet S’mores

S’mores (A2480918) is a 1-year-old domestic shorthair calico cat weighing just 5 pounds. Despite a difficult start, she has remained remarkably affectionate.

The young cat arrived at Broward County Animal Care in late September after being found injured as a stray. Veterinarians discovered a fracture in her left hind leg, and she also underwent a required 10-day quarantine after unintentionally scratching the person who found her.

Now that her quarantine is complete, S’mores is searching for a family willing to help her recover.

Shelter staff say she is already walking and putting weight on her injured leg, raising hopes that the fracture will heal without requiring amputation.

Her future adopter will need to provide cage rest while staff monitor her recovery.

Despite everything she has experienced, S’mores remains exceptionally friendly and loves attention. She enjoys being petted and even welcomes gentle belly rubs.

Once her leg has healed sufficiently and she is medically cleared for surgery, S’mores will be spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Her adoption fee will also be waived, with adopters responsible only for the $25 pet registration fee.

How to Adopt

Residents interested in adopting Pie, S’mores, or another animal can visit Broward County Animal Care, located at 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale.

The shelter is open for adoptions seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Pup-or-Treat Halloween Pawty

Animal lovers will also have two opportunities to meet adoptable pets during upcoming community events.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, Broward County Animal Care will host its Pup-or-Treat Halloween Pawty from 6 to 8 p.m. at its Fort Lauderdale adoption center. Select adoptable dogs will be available to meet and adopt during the celebration.

On Sunday, Oct. 25, the agency will participate in an in-store adoption event at PetSmart, 4101 Oakwood Blvd. in Hollywood, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dogs and cats will be available for adoption.

Adoption fees are waived, and the required $25 pet registration fee applies. Pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption, and dogs are tested for heartworm.
