Bringing Together Shelter Animals and Senior Citizens
|
 |
Your tax-deductible
donations are needed to help fund this new program!
The Pets for Seniors Program, a
partnership between the Enid Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program, matches
senior citizens (age 60+) with companion animals that currently reside at the
Enid SPCA shelter, subsidizes the adoption fee, offers post-adoption support, and provides emergency assistance for seniors
who are at risk of losing companion animals.
The Pets for Seniors Program has three
primary goals:
- To find permanent homes for
shelter dogs and cats, with preference given to animals five years or age or older.
- To provide both animal and
human companionship for senior citizens.
- To provide support for seniors
who are temporarily at risk of losing companion animals due to medical emergencies, financial hardship, or displacement, and
thus reduce the number of animals that are permanently surrendered, abandoned,
or euthanised.
