People For Pets helps pets find loving homes and helps people find their perfect companion. We believe every animal deserves a safe, happy, and fulfilling life, and we work every day to provide that second chance.
Founded more than 20 years ago by a dedicated group of volunteers, our organization began with a mission to improve the lives of companion animals. What started with private foster care grew into a permanent facility in 2001, allowing us to expand our services and provide a reliable safety net for animals in need within our community.
We are proud to be a no-kill shelter, ensuring every animal remains in our care until they find a forever home. Our facility provides a safe environment for pets, ranging from those transferred after their holding periods to those needing protection from abuse or housing instability. Beyond our shelter, we operate community-focused initiatives like the Kayleen Rose Fund and the Find, Fix, Free Fund to support veterinary care and population management.
We aim to match every animal with a home that fits both the personality of the pet and the lifestyle of the family. Our adoption process is designed with care to ensure a lasting bond, involving applications and personalized meet-and-greet appointments. We are committed to transparency and support, ensuring you feel confident and prepared to welcome your new family member.
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission, there are many ways to get involved with People For Pets. We invite you to view our available animals on our website or visit us at our Spencer location to find your new best friend. Your support helps us provide the food, medical care, and love that every pet deserves.
