My personality

My story

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

Hello there! My name is Pumpkin and I was found by a Good Samaritan wandering around downtown. The finder tried very hard to find my family, but truth be told, I’m happy I found my way to Forever Loved! They’ve done my spay, vaccines, and my bloodwork turned out perfect. I’m a healthy 12 lb Chi-weenie mix of only 3-4 years old. I’m a bit “young” for the dogs Forever Loved usually takes in, but I’m a lucky doggy that was found by a Forever Loved Foster, so I got to sneak below the “radar.” I am affectionate, sweet, cuddly, and as you can see in my photos, I don’t mind being dressed up. I am good with other dogs, and really good with children of all ages. I easily meet new people when my “safe and beloved” human is near, but can be a bit timid without you. It only takes me a short while to warm up and trust. I didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but I’m learning, and I’m also learning to enjoy the walk. I met a cat and chased it, but when a cat approached me, I got really nervous! I’m getting really good at house training and have shown that I prefer to go on grass or turf. Because I was left to wander and no owner came looking, I can sometimes display some separation distress. Best to leave me crated when you can’t be there, but please, don’t crate me for hours on end! The kind folks at Forever Loved said they can help you with any of these issues, so don’t let that stop you from coming to meet me. My foster really thinks I’m going to make someone very happy! Please fill out that application and let’s make this happen.

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.
