Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary

Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona, focused on giving senior dogs the second chance they deserve. Since our founding in 2012, we’ve rescued over 870 senior dogs, mainly serving the Phoenix metro area and other parts of Arizona.

As one of only two rescues in the Greater Phoenix area specializing in senior dogs, our mission is clear: to help overlooked senior dogs find their forever homes. While many local shelters euthanize senior dogs due to their age, we work alongside these shelters to save as many of these precious lives as possible, ensuring they receive the love and care they need until they find their forever homes.

At FLPS, we provide a sanctuary for these older pups, primarily those 7 years and older, and focus on giving them the best quality of life until they are adopted. We are passionate about advocating for these dogs who might otherwise be overlooked, and we are committed to giving them a safe, loving home to spend their golden years.

"You can't buy love, but you can rescue it. Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary staff and volunteers rescue senior dog out of danger. They deliver them to safety. Most importantly, they find love that others didn't recognize. They will assist you in finding, and experiencing unconditional love. They are a senior dog's best friend and the very best dog matchmakers in the valley. Our lives have been enriched four times by the most precious senior dogs. They bring joy to our lives and every day is a new adventure. What could be more perfect." [S+S]

"Our family has gone through a lot over the last few years losing out legacy babies one-by one. With loving ours even more in their golden years, it warmed my heart to find your senior rescue! We have been honored to open our hearts and home to two of your alumnae - Maggie and Gucci. Maggie brought a gentle feel to the house whereas Gucci is now running it with her bossy 'tude! Apparently, we needed order! We couldn't be happier to support your cause and love on these babies as long as they allow us. Thank you for all you do!" [Christin D]
