Hullo? Are you there? My name is Joe, I'm 13 years old, 19 lbs, and I am a handsome Cocker Spaniel. I have hearing loss, and cant really see, so lets work together on communication, because I already know that I absolutely want to be your boy! I was rescued from the county pound by the great folks at Forever Loved, because I really didn't have a chance at making it to the adoption floor there. Forever Loved saw the beautiful dog that was underneath a matted, stinky, ungroomed coat, and my terrible neglected ear infections and loss of vision didn't deter them at all. I've had my crummy teeth pulled, my ears thoroughly cleaned out, my hair cut, and a thorough vet visit, and I'm now on the search for that just-right home! My bloodwork came out great, but I will probably have to have ear and eye drops for the rest of my life. I love other dogs, I love everyone I've ever met, and I just love going for walks. Walking me on a harness makes it so easy for me to follow your gentle physical prompts and keeps me from bumping into pokey things, like cactus. In my new home, it will take me a bit to learn my space and where the potty spot is, but if you are patient, the wonderful folks at Forever Loved will teach you the best way to show me. Although they love me so much and adore me like crazy, I would really like my own home to spend the best of my life in. Could that be you???

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.
