MISSION STATEMENT

WE ARE PET OWNERS OURSELVES WHO HAVE SEEN A STRONG NEED FOR AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR THE CARE OF PETS WHEN THE OWNERS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME ON THEIR OWN. 
WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP PETS IN THEIR HOMES WHERE OTHERWISE, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO BE GIVEN TO LOCAL SHELTERS. 

For The Love Of Pets is a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit.
We are trying passionately to keep pet owners and their family pets together. I have seen numerous animals that have been found discarded on a country road, alone and afraid. Heartbreakingly, many just don't make it. The past 2 years I have seen a huge increase in this gut wrenching tragedy. In many cases pet owners have tried to turn their pet(s) over to animal shelters only to be told they are already overcrowded and can't take the dog/cat/rabbit or other pets. Pet owners don't know what to do so they tie them up at the shelter during the night. Or drop them off on a roadside. In many instances, these are people who love their pets but have lost their jobs and homes. They are depressed, scared and hurting. All they know is that they can't take care of the pet that they love, the very one that they had made a promise to keep safe till death do they part.
