My story

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

Introducing Shamus, the delightful 6-year-old cattle dog whose vibrant and healthy energy was on full display during his initial vet exam. Weighing in at 73 lbs, our vet recommends a modest weight loss of 5-10 pounds for Shamus's optimal well-being.

More than just a dog, Shamus is a friendly companion with a love for people and other dogs. House-trained and well-mannered on a leash, he's the ideal walking buddy.

In essence, Shamus is a sweet and affectionate addition, eagerly awaiting his forever home. His endearing nature and love for companionship make him a perfect fit for any family familiar with the unique needs of a cattle dog seeking purpose.

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.
