People For Pets

People For Pets People For Pets helps pets find loving homes and people find loving pets. Before this agreement was made, these loving pets were put to sleep!

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. People For Pets is an all volunteer, private, nonprofit shelter and rescue. We receive no government funding and are supported solely by private donations and adoption

fees. Volunteers are always welcome! Come Visit or Send a Donation:

🚨 Important Update Regarding Petfinder 🚨

We want to make our community aware of an ongoing issue we are experiencing with the Petfinder website. All of our available cats and dogs are normally posted there, but we’ve recently noticed some major errors that are out of our control.

Over half of our pets are currently showing as not fixed, not vaccinated, or not house-trained, which is not accurate. Most of our animals are fixed and vaccinated, and house-trained. Additionally, several photos are either missing or displaying incorrectly.

This issue is also affecting our website, where no animals are showing under “available pets.” We know how frustrating this is—especially since the majority of our adoptions happen through Petfinder.

We are hopeful this issue will be resolved soon. In the meantime, we are working hard to make sure all of our available pets are listed on AdoptAPet.com so they can still be seen and adopted.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we work through this. If you have questions about a specific pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. ❤️🐾

Meet Moby!

This handsome, all-grey gentleman is about a year and a half old and full of quiet charm. Moby can be a little shy when you first approach—he may take a step back and observe you from a safe distance. But the moment you reach out and start petting him, he melts right into it and decides you’re his new best friend.

He truly adores gentle attention and would thrive in a calmer, low-key household where he can feel safe and settle in at his own pace. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive boy who just wants love (and gives it right back), Moby might be the perfect match.

THANKS TO A VERY GENEROUS DONOR WE HAVE A NEW DRYER! 🩷

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Our dryer has officially tapped out. 💀

It has dried its last towel, folded its last hope, and is now enjoying early retirement.

If anyone has a reliable used (or new) dryer looking for a new job, the pups at People for Pets would love to interview it! 🐾🙃

If you have one you’d like to donate, please message us — we’d be so grateful! 💕

Meet Caesar — our big ol’ handsome boy with a heart just as large as his 135-pound frame!

At first glance, Caesar can look a little intimidating, and he definitely takes his time deciding who earns his trust. But once you’re in his circle, wow… this boy becomes the sweetest, most loyal cuddle buddy you could ask for. He melts for pets, especially those butt scratches that make his whole body wiggle with happiness.

Caesar is also a total fetch fanatic. Tennis balls are his absolute pride and joy — inside, outside, in his kennel, on a walk… he wants one with him at all times. He sits beautifully, listens well, and for such a big guy, he’s incredibly gentle.

Because he prefers calm and predictability, Caesar would thrive in a quieter home with less commotion. He’s good with other dogs, unsure about cats, and while he previously lived with young kids, we think he’d be most comfortable with older children who can respect his space.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a sweet soul and a love for tennis balls, Caesar may just be the gentle giant you’ve been waiting for. 🧡🐾

ADOPTED!

Meet Ruby, the 7-year-old Mini Goldendoodle who absolutely refuses to act her age — and we love her for it! 💖

Ruby is a happy, bouncy ball of sunshine who still has all the energy and enthusiasm of a puppy. She’s full of life, endlessly curious, and always ready for her next adventure. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to go, go, go, Ruby is your girl!

She adores other dogs and could play all day if you let her. She’s great with cats, too — she just loves having friends of any kind.

Ruby is ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of zoomies into her forever home. If you want a fun-loving companion who will fill your days with excitement and affection, Ruby just might be the one for you! 🐾✨
