My story

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

Hi! I see you looking at my darling photos. Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Bucky, I am 12 years old, and I weigh in at just under 10 lbs. I'm not sure how I wound up homeless at the county shelter, but thanks to the angels at Forever Loved, I'm looking for a forever home! I just love all ages of people, and truthfully, all kinds of dogs. I am truly outgoing and everyone I meet just loves to snuggle me - especially now that I've had my dental and probably have better breath than you do! I love love love to sit on your lap or be in your arms. Since dogs always tell the truth, I will tell you that initially I may "mark" in my new home, but that goes away once it smells like me, and I'm ok wearing a "wrap." I walk well on a leash too, but you are welcome to carry me!

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.
