My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Looking for a dog who's part social butterfly, part lovable weirdo? Meet Peter Pan, the dog who does jazz hands when he sees other dogs (yes, you read that right—jazz hands).

Peter was once on the euthanasia list at an overcrowded shelter, but thanks to Abandoned Pet Rescue, he's now starring on his very own beer label at Gulf Stream Brewery. Move over, celebrity pups—this guy’s got an underbite smile that’s become the face of Four-Legged Lager. And yes, he’s available for belly rubs and pawtographs.

Rescued in 2022, Peter Pan went from skin-and-bones to a 50lb bundle of pure quirky joy. This 6-year-old pup has been charming humans for nearly 2 years at the shelter. He goes to every adoption event in the community including his favorite event called "Pups and Pints" which takes place once a month at Gulf Stream Brewery.

His hobbies? Sunbathing like a total diva, rolling in the grass like he's auditioning for a rom-com, and making friends at the local bar. If you're looking for a drinking buddy with some serious doggy dance moves, Peter Pan is your guy!

He’s dog-friendly and loves enthusiastic, playful roughhousing, so he’s basically the party animal of the dog world. And in the winter? His fur gets all curly, and let's just say that the ladies love it!

Adopt Peter Pan and not only will you gain a best friend—you’ll also get to share one of his signature beers with him (he insists). Apply for this lovable oddball at AbandonedPetRescue.org!

More about this shelter

Abandoned Pet Rescue (APR) is one of the largest no-kill animal shelters in South Florida with the mission of rescuing and sheltering abandoned and abused cats and dogs with the goal of finding them new homes. APR's adoption center has about 150 cats and 30 dogs, all of which receive nutritious meals, veterinary care, enrichment and love.

APR, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1996 by a group of volunteers who were trapping, spaying and neutering feral cats and quickly realized the greater need to help abandoned pets and advocate for a no-kill community. APR is funded solely by generous donors and grants.
