Our mission at Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is to help overlooked senior dogs in Arizona find their forever homes.
We’ve been rescuing and adopting out senior pups since 2012, and the success stories are powerful. Dogs who were abandoned or tossed out as strays are incredibly resilient — they simply want a place to call home and people to love. Older dogs make loving, loyal, wonderful companions.

For various reasons — including moving, a new baby, divorce, or medical expenses — many dogs sadly end up at local shelters.
Once there, finding a senior dog a new home has been difficult historically, because most people want younger dogs, puppies, or purebred dogs from breeders (according to the American Pet Products Association, 34% of American families still obtain their dogs through breeders).
Our goal at Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary is to educate the public on why this is an unfortunate trend, and show people why senior dogs deserve a second chance.
