My personality

My story

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

My name is Dove, and I am a bit of a shy one, so please forgive me if I appear nervous and scared at first. I am a 12-year-old 10lb Terrier mix and came to Forever Loved after my lifelong owner passed away. I lived a very quiet and secluded existence with another doggy companion, so when I found myself homeless, I was quite overwhelmed. I did not eat much, but overall, the vet found me to be in good health. I have been in the loving care of a wonderful foster for a while now and made significant progress in getting over some fears, but that special care will need to continue in my forever home, too. I really love the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a furry friend who will also help show me this world is not such a scary place. The only time I don’t like another dog around me is when I’m eating, because I do not like to share. I am mostly house trained, but occasionally may have an accident when left alone or overnight. I do know how to use potty pads tho. My new favorite activity in the whole world is to go on sniffariis with you. I have gotten used to a harness and leash, but still, if you let me choose the path, the pace, and allow me to sniff to my hearts content, dang, what a confidence booster that is for me! I may not be the easiest dog, I will require patience and love, and I may not be a social butterfly, but if you’ve ever truly wanted to rescue a sweet soul that needs to know life can be safe again, I promise to entertain you with zoomies and joy!

Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is involved with events hosted by PACC911 (Phoenix Animal Care Coalition).

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.
