My personality

My story

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

Hi there! I’m Ladybug, a 9-year-old sweet soul who thrives on love, food, sunshine, and cuddles! With new folks, I might seem reserved at first, but give me time, and I’ll become your most loyal friend and companion. I’m loving and trusting once I know I’m safe. My happiness revolves around simple pleasures: food, roaming the yard, daily walks, and snuggling up next to my human. I’m housebroken and doggy door trained but may need some time to learn the new rules in my new environment. I do have separation anxiety, so I might bark for a little while at first when my people leave, so having someone home most of the time is recommended. I catch on fast and love basking in the sun, exploring the yard, and going for walks. I enjoy car rides, but I do not like being placed in a kennel or a carrier. I can easily co-exist with friendly dogs and cats, but I typically do not seek comfort from them and wouldn’t mind a home as the only pet. A peaceful environment suits me best. I don’t recommend free feeding as I may end up devouring everything! I can be protective of my home and food, so it’s best if I go to a home with dog-savvy folks who understand the simple ways to handle these quirks.

I recently got a clean bill of health after some blood work, mammary mass removals, spay, and a dental! I am ready for my happy-ever-after!

Love, Ladybug

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.
