With saddened hearts P4P volunteers said goodbye to our beloved Henney the summer of 2009. She had been a part of our group and also our hearts since we acquired our building. She loved her life at the shelter. She was a true testimony to our mission of saving pets four paws at a time. Even though she often hurt from her arthritis and suffered from loss of eye sight, she always laid in the front door and watched over her kingdom of People for Pets. She loved her home with us very much and taught us so much about patience, compassion and the love of an animal. Until we meet again our sweet girl...

This was Henney, our shelter door greeter. She was an old gal who also watched over a few of our cats....she was only bothered by them if they tried to eat out of her food dish or snag her treats. That was a big no-no! We had Henney since shortly after our doors opened at our current location in 2003. Considering her age and health issues, we found that she would be the perfect helper for our daily chores. She loved to help with sweeping by lying on the dirt pile so it wouldn't blow away.
Thanks Henney for all you did!! We love you!






WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
People For Pets is a non-profit organization devoted to finding loving homes for abandoned pets. We have an agreement with the City of Spencer, Iowa, to find homes for all stray cats and dogs not claimed within three business days. Before this agreement was made, these loving pets were put to sleep!
People For Pets helps pets find loving homes and people find loving pets. We also promote spaying and neutering to help control the pet population. All dogs/cats are spayed/neutered prior to adoption unless they are too young or have not yet been scheduled for the procedure.
People For Pets requires that any animal that is not yet spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption. If the pet is too young at this date, then the pet must be spayed or neutered by or before its 6 month birthday.
If you are interested in adopting a cat or dog please see our Adoption Procedures page.
People For Pets does charge an adoption fee for all cats/dogs. The fees help cover the cost of vaccinations, worming, veterinary care, spaying/neutering, food, cleaning supplies, and much more. All animals are vet checked, vaccinated and wormed prior to adoption. Cats are Felv/FIV tested.
Adoption fees ~ Cats ~ $45~$125 ~~ Dogs ~ $125~$350
