Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary

To save senior animals who are often overlooked by providing them an opportunity to thrive in a safe and caring environment.

Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is the only senior-only animal rescues in Maricopa County, Arizona. Formed in 2012 as a non-profit 501[c][3] organization, the focus of FLPS is to save senior animals who are often overlooked by providing them the opportunity to thrive in a safe and caring environment. FLPS serves a public need by offering housing to a limited number of senior pets.

This safe haven takes the burden of temporary care and housing of senior animals off of local shelters. Inevitably, local shelters resort to euthanizing these abandoned, senior animals at an alarming rate. According to a 2012 statistics report, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) euthanizes one animal every eight minutes it is open to the public. Euthanasia for senior residents is the primary option for most local shelters because they tend to focus their efforts on a high adoption model that includes younger “more adoptable” animals. FLPS works with local shelters and rescues to identify the senior animals in need and provide a streamlined process for interested men, women and families who wish to adopt.

Ruby.. . yes Ruby was thankful for all the volunteers that came and walked her friends yesterday and today. While she doesn't like to go for a walk with many volunteers, she sure loves to sun herself in the play yard.

If you're looking for volunteer opportunities, fill out a volunteer application on our website and get signed up for one of our monthly volunteer orientations.

Roxy3 ate her breakfast and then told me all about the forever home she's hoping to be in for the holidays. She's hoping Santa will bring her a home with:

*someone to walk her.
*someone to play fetch with her.
*someone to let her snuggle close.
*someone to brush her.
*someone to love her.

Help us spread the word to fulfill Roxy's holiday wish.

Sweet senior girl Dottie3 had her left eye removed yesterday along with five yucky teeth. She's going to be wearing that cone of shame for the next two weeks while the stitches heal up. She would love to be in a foster home while she recovers.

Dottie3 is 13 years old and 30ish lbs. Uses the dog door and is good with other dogs. Let us know if you'd like to foster her.

Our new guy Sheldon has quite the smile! And, it’s infectious if you’re not up close getting a whiff.
Stinky breath is gross and dental disease is preventable…this makes dental care & awareness so important to us.
Help us provide dentals for more senior dogs like Sheldon on #GivingTuesday! #givingtuesday2021 #givingtuesday #GivingTuesday #givingtuesdaynow #seniordog #seniordogrescue #seniordogsofinstagram #seniordogs #SeniorDogLove #seniordoglove #seniordogsrule #seniordogsrock #seniordogsofig #seniordogsarethebest #seniordogsofinstagram

Rocco2 had a little lump on his gum line checked out today with dr. Bob. Looks like it is just a reaction to the stitches after his Dental. We will get his antibiotics started today.
