Pekes and Pals Dogs Rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to our dogs

Seniors for Seniors

Many of the dogs in shelters today are there because their elderly owners died and their families were unable, or unwilling, to assume responsibility for them. Many of them suffer neglect, at the very least, or abuse, whether intentional or not. For this reason, we developed the "Seniors for Seniors" program where senior citizens are asked to adopt senior dogs. Senior dogs are 8 years or older, and for the most part they are calmer and quieter than young dogs. They'll be content to sit quietly next to you while you watch TV or read, and they'll be happy to accompany you on a leisurely walk. Most senior-age dogs appreciate a quiet life and are suited to the routines of older people.

In rescue, the needs of the dog dictate who will be allowed to adopt. We will not, for instance, adopt a senior dog to a family with young children. By the same token, we will not adopt a young dog to a senior citizen. Our goal is to ensure that none of our dogs find themselves back in a shelter because their owner passed away before they did. Our priority is always the safety and well-being of the dog.

Ching

Female Pekingese
Hi everyone! My name is Ching, and I am a very special little girl. You see, I came from a puppy mill where I had to have puppies often, and I had my last litter about 4 months before coming to Peggy. Pekes and Pals rescued me, and I have been spayed so I will never have to have puppies again. I am about 8 years old and weigh only about 10 pounds. I had never been inside a home before and it was all new and a bit scary to me. I have really learned to like this living in a home where people are kind and loving to me. I would really like a new family who are willing to help me understand what it is like to be in a loving home and will help me to learn their "house rules". I am so very eager to please, and want so badly to have the love of humans. Can I come home with YOU?

BooBoo

Male Yorkie
BooBoo is a 10 year old 5.9 pound Yorkie that was found in Naples, tied to the handle of someone's car. This kind person took him to the vet where he remained until it was determined that no one would claim him. He came to us with an infected mouth and Dr. D removed some teeth and neutered him. He is ready for a forever home with older children, or adults. We are not sure about cats but he is territorial with other dogs. BooBoo acts like a 6 year old dog and has lots of energy. He's a velcro baby, wants to be with you at all times. His adoption donation is only $150.00

Buttons

Male Maltese,Shih Tzu

Meet Buttons, a precious 13 year old boy who was sent to us when his owners health prevented her from caring for him. He is only 7 lbs, and does not at all act like a senior boy. He is shy around other dogs and ok with cats. We will not allow him to be adopted to a family with children under the age of 10 yrs. His adoption donation is only $150, a small amount for so much love and devotion. He prances around in circles when you enter the room, as he is so happy to see you. He does have beginning cataracts, but he has no problem getting around at all.

Jojo

Male Tibetan Terrier
Hi everyone, I'm Jojo. I am about 7 years old and I weigh about 19 lbs. I came to Pekes and Pals quite a while ago, after years of neglect and abuse. I am now able to trust people and have learned how to behave in a home. You see, I was never allowed in a home before I came here. While here, I have been healed of the skin problems I had and I have been taught that humans can be loving and responsible. I am VERY allergic to fleas so I will need to be kept totally flea free for the rest of my life to keep my skin and coat looking lovely. I adore snuggling on a sofa, and love to play with people. I prefer being the only dog as I am a bit greedy for the attention people can give. I have a microchip implant for identification. My adoption donation is ONLY $150 SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT FOR TOTAL LOVE AND DEVOTION..

Maui

Male Lhasa Apso
Hi everyone, my name is Maui as I came to Florida from Hawaii. Sadly I ended up in a shelter where I was to be put to sleep for being vision impaired and very thin and weak. I have been here at Pekes and Pals getting healthy and have had treatments to my eyes to help them heal. I do not have any vision left, but I get around well after I have gotten used to the areas. I LOVE to play with other gentle dogs too. I am only about 10 years old, and would love to have my own loving family to spend the rest of my life with. Are you that family? My adoption donation is only $150.

Nicki

Male Chihuahua
Meet Nicki! This precious little boy came to us from a shelter where he was to be euthanized for having glaucoma and limited vision. He is only about 5.5 lbs and about 10 yrs old. He is a delightful little boy who had his eye removal surgery and is available for the right match in a family now . He is such a sweet, snuggly little boy that he truly deserves a responsible, loving family to bring his joy to. He loves to play with toys now that he is pain free, and welcomes play with certain other pets. His adoption donation is only $150

Owen

Male Chihuahua,Dachshund
Hi everyone, I'm Owen. I am about 10 years old and weigh 8 lbs. I am the son of Piper. Sadly, I have developed cataracts and my vision is a bit limited, but that does not keep me from finding someone to snuggle with. Pekes and Pals took us into their program, quite a while ago, to help us find loving families. We have been here a long time waiting for the right family to see us and fall in love. I would love a family who could give me the loving care I get here and help me to see what it is like being loved. Do you have such a family? My adoption donation is only $150.
