FOR PETS SAKE INC.
Our Featured Pets...
Our Pet of the Week is Roby.
PECIAL NEEDS: ROBY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT and not suitable for a family w/ kids....he loves to play w/ stuffed toys and rubber balls, but sometimes feels threatened by restrains and hugging. He is fun to watch when he plays in the yard and is very happy. Some work is necessary on his housetraining....he will need a human who is gentle, loving and patient to continue his progress. He has been w/ FPS for 4 months and has made great strides in his trust of people. Reno/Sparks residents only w/ fence yard....FPS want to keep close enough to help the new owner w/ any issues that may arise. Call Sara for adoption details.
Who We Are
FOR PETS' SAKE started quite by circumstance in February, 1989. The founder, Sara Petersen caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar little dog wandering in her neighborhood. All efforts to catch the small, wet, very thin pup failed. Two days later Sara located the stray at the local impound facility.
Arrangements were made for the adoption, groomed, spayed and advertised in the local newspaper. A loving home with a senior citizen was found and
FOR PETS' SAKE was born.
The encounter at the impound facility left memories of countless dogs and cats kept in unsuitable conditions with little chance of adoption. Something had to be done to help as many as possible. At first, one animal a week was taken from the facility, groomed, spayed/neutered and given a Vet check and vaccinations. Advertising in the local paper produced a loving, safe home. Soon, two animals were rescued each week and placed in homes. Expenses were paid for from personal finances. To assist with the growing costs, a donation was requested from adopters other than seniors and the physically challengled.
In May, 1995 FOR PETS' SAKE became INC in the State of Nevada and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit organization. At present, donations have made it possible to increase our rescues to nearly one per day.
A labor of love such as this has it's greatest rewards in the form of wagging tails, sloppy kisses and grateful eyes of every animal given a second chance.
