Get A Life Pet Rescue

Operating as the registered DBA of South Florida Pet Rescue and Rehabilitation, Get A Life Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, foster-based dog-rescue organization headquartered on West Broward Boulevard in Plantation. The rescue focuses on saving small-breed, senior, and medically vulnerable dogs from high-kill animal-control facilities, severe hoarding situations, and urgent owner surrenders across Broward County and South Florida.

Every dog entering Get A Life Pet Rescue lives in a private volunteer foster home rather than a kennel facility and is fed a holistic diet alongside vitamin and joint supplements. The organization provides complete veterinary rehabilitation, including bloodwork, dental procedures, heartworm treatment, vaccinations, microchipping, and spay-and-neuter surgery. Through its Safe for Life Sanctuary program, senior and special-needs dogs with chronic medical conditions receive lifelong care. Foster families in Plantation and central Broward County evaluate how each rescued dog interacts with children, other dogs, and household routines to ensure an accurate temperament profile.

To ensure every dog transitions into a safe, permanent environment, the adoption process includes a written application, personal interview, veterinary reference check, in-person meet-and-greet, and home visit. Funded entirely by private donations and adoption contributions without government grants, the rescue welcomes foster families, holistic food donations, and financial sponsors. Through transparent adoption counseling and ongoing post-adoption check-ins, Get A Life Pet Rescue remains a lifelong resource for every family that welcomes one of its dogs home.
