Join us on Valentine's Day from 10am-2pm for fun and games. We are
holding a fundraiser for Pekes and Pals Canine Rescue, Inc. Pekes and Pals
takes in abused or abandoned animals, no matter its age, appearance or
condition. They are all about finding that
guardian angel for each of the homeless dogs
in their care. They rescue dogs of all breeds and care for them in their
homes until they can find new families for them. Every rescued dog is
examined by a veterinarian, receive all their shots, are checked for
heartworms and put on a heartworm preventative. They are neutered or spayed
before placement with a new family. If they are unable to find a suitable
home for one of the rescues, they remain at Pekes and Pals for the duration
of their lives. Pekes and Pals never euthanize a rescued dog simply because
on one else wants him/her.
On February 14th we will be hosting a fundraiser to help support the great
work at Pekes and Pals Canine Rescue, Inc. We will have some adoptable dogs
here too! We will have pet food vendors giving away free samples, raffles,
food and treats for you and your dog, dog massages, and photo
opportunities. Raffles will include a gift basket from Dr. Shawna Green (
which includes an acupuncture treatment), a stay at the Trade Winds hotel, a
gift basket from Gone to the Dogs Boutique and a photo session with
Pawsitively Pictures. Join us from 10am - 2pm on Sunday, Valentine's Day.

Sometimes pet owners are faced with the unhappy task of giving up their dog. Many lucky dogs wind up at The Humane Society, where they are cared for and where they will find a new family. Lee County, FL is very fortunate in that we have a No-Kill Humane Society, and also an Animal Services that makes every effort to avoid indiscriminate euthanization.
Many more dogs, however, wind up in shelters where they are euthanized within a few days of their arrival, often only due to limited space, health or temperament issues. Still other dogs are dumped beside roadways and left to fend for themselves. Many of these dogs are hit by cars and die horribly, while others die of starvation or disease. Some fortunate dogs are found by concerned citizens and taken into their loving homes, or taken to shelters where they are cared for until, hopefully, someone will see these wonderful dogs and adopt them. Still other dogs are brought to rescue organizations, where every effort is made to find the dog's owner. If unsuccessful in this quest, then the dog is taken into the rescue program, returned to good health, evaluated for temperament and breed issues, and fully vetted. Then the rescue organization tries to find "appropriate" new families for the dogs.
P et over-population is a result of indiscriminate breeding and irresponsible owners. Pet shops, puppy mills, back yard breeders, and dog brokers make a living selling puppies and dogs for the dollar value that they alone set. They have NO consideration for the dogs themselves, or for trying to match a dog to the interested parties who want to buy a dog. It's no mystery why there are so many abused and abandoned animals needing loving homes.
W e believe that each abused or abandoned animal, no matter its age, appearance or condition, has a guardian angel somewhere ready to give them a loving home. They just have to find one another! That's what Pekes and Pals Canine Rescue, Inc. is all about - finding that guardian angel for each of the homeless dogs in our care. We rescue dogs of all breeds, not just Pekes, and care for them in our homes until we can find new families for them. Every rescued dog is examined by a veterinarian. They receive all their shots, are checked for heartworms and put on a heartworm preventative. They are neutered or spayed before placement with a new family. If we are unable to find a suitable home for one of our rescues, they remain at Pekes and Pals for the duration of their lives. We never euthanize a rescued dog simply because no one else wants him/her.
The rescued Dogs at Pekes and Pals are housed in private homes and they are not offered for viewing until and unless your adoption application is approved; and then, only by appointment. Once you are approved you will be invited to a "meet and greet" session. Taking the time to get acquainted with the dogs usually results in a desirable, and sometimes unexpected, match. The dogs make it abundantly clear who they want to go home with, so don't be surprised if you leave with a dog other than the one you came to see! If you don't feel that special bond with any of the dogs on your first visit, you are welcome to come back as many times as needed, by appointment, to find that special dog.
M any of the dogs we rescue have medical problems resulting from abuse and/or neglect and require medication and/or treatment. Regretfully, we must charge an adoption fee, but the fee set for each dog is the minimum amount required to cover veterinary services.
The dogs shown on this page are ALL of the dogs available for adoption from Pekes and Pals.
