Since 1995, we have helped save abandoned, abused and surrendered pets in the local community. Our goal is save the lives of animals and create lifelong relationships by placing them in loving homes.

 

Our Mission

For Pets’ Sake is a non profit organization working independently, as well as networking with shelters and other rescue groups.  We offer safe, loving care while seeking permanent forever homes for as many animals as possible.  It is our vision that these efforts along with spay/neuter education will produce a drastic reduction of abandoned animals being killed because they are simply not wanted. 

FAST FACTS

For Pets' Sake focuses on small dog breeds with a maximum weight of 30 pounds. Often times these small dogs will end up euthanized. Many small dogs don't fair well within a shelter environment, which causes them to become scared and snappy. This can make them poor candidates for adoption. Fortunately, we're able to rescue many little dogs and adopt them out to loving, caring homes. 

Additionally, we seek out older small dogs that have been left behind. Through the support of donations, foster families and fur loving volunteers we are able to give these senior animals a better quality of life.

We'd love your help and support. Please consider making a donation, becoming a foster family, adopting a small dog or learning more about volunteer opportunities with us. Visit our Contact page and send us an email.

A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
