People For Pets

People For Pets helps pets find loving homes and people find loving pets. We also promote spaying and neutering to help control the pet population.

We will not tolerate hate language or profanity on our page.

Saving Pets Four Paws at a Time

People For Pets is a non-profit organization devoted to finding loving homes for abandoned pets. We have an agreement with the City of Spencer, Iowa, to find homes for all stray cats and dogs not claimed within three business days. Before this agreement was made, these loving pets were put to sleep!

People For Pets is an all volunteer, private, nonprofit shelter and rescue. We receive no government funding and are supported solely by private donations and adoption fees.

Volunteers are always welcome!

We would like to thank the "Rescue Angels". These are the shelters that we work with that have the same pledge as us. Without their support, People For Pets wouldn't be possible. Thank you all for your time and dedication.
