My story

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

Hello, kind human. My name is Oliver and I am a 9 year old 22lb ChiWeenie. What’s a ChjiWeenie you ask? It’s a wonderful mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund. The kind folks at Forever Loved took me right in from a shelter where I was struggling with all the chaos that goes along with lots and lots of scared and homeless dogs. Right away I was scooped into the loving arms of a foster home and by the end of the first day, I was already starting to blossom.. I’ve had my teeth cleaned and my bloodwork came back great, so I can definitely tell you I am a healthy guy. I’m great with other dogs, however I can be wary of strangers. I am a protective sort over my property, but the wonderful folks at Forever Loved have lots of tips for how to help me get over that and be a safe dog. Speaking of that, the volunteer trainer at Forever Loved thinks I’m a great prospect, and that I will make someone a lovely companion. I’m also a favorite with a lot of the shelter team. I love love love to go for walks and sniffaris, I ride nicely in the car, and I am reliably house trained! Maybe I don’t want to meet strangers on the street, or have too many visitors come in the house, but I’ve shown I’m very motivated to work on it. With the right human, I’m going to prove myself to be an outstanding companion. Could that be you? Fill out an application and we can begin this journey together!

More about this rescue

Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is the only senior-only animal rescue 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.
