Add to that a big, black dog that's over 100 lbs, 8 or 9 yrs old and has allergies.
Marilyn A. of Washington lost her husband of over 50 years in 1996. Last fall she had to have her 14 year old Poodle put to sleep. She said that she never felt so alone. One week after Barb told her that female poodles rarely show us at shelters, McLean County Animal Control called Barb to ask if she had anyone that would consider a 9 year old female toy poodle. April and Marilyn began their life together on the same day that April had been scheduled to be euthanized.
Dreamer had run out of time when McLean Cty Animal Control called T.A.P.S. shelter in Pekin, IL. They took her and luckily she was adopted by Kay and Gene. They recently wrote: "We'll never be able to thank you enough for putting us together with her, she's been such a joy to us, we never thought we'd be so blessed.."
Jim describes Flopper as a very spoiled cat! In fact, Flopper is so friendly that he has his own fan club at the retirement complex where he and Jim live! He is the unofficial spokescat for Pets for Seniors and has even been quoted in the local newspaper.
When Robert's German Shepherd died he was all set to get a puppy. His vet suggested he call PFS and luckily he did! After meeting Sweetie, an almost 7 year old mix that was at the T.A.P.S. shelter in Pekin, IL, he knew he had found a good dog! They adopted each other and I'm told she likes watching Sunday football from his bed!
