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:

We would like to thank the "Rescue Angels". These are the shelters that we work with that have the same pledge as us. Without their support, People For Pets wouldn't be possible. Thank you all for your time and dedication.

Update: All pups have been spoken for🩷

Introducing the fluffiest, friendliest pups around! These golden retriever mixed pups are ready to steal your hearts 🧡

These sweet babes were born on 1/28/25 and are now ready to find their forever homes! We have 5 males and 1 female available.

They are vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. They will need to be spayed/neutered when they are of age!

🐾BEFORE applying to adopt a puppy, please ask yourself these questions:
•Do I have time & patience for a puppy?
•Do I understand getting a puppy is a lifelong commitment?
•Is my home set up to care for a puppy?
•Am I financially secure to take care of this puppy?

Our boy Finnegan is still very patiently waiting for his forever home. 🤍

Finn has gone through a couple homes since 2022 and been returned due to behavioral issues. We have really worked with Finn on these behaviors, and he does much better with people especially strangers. He is on medication to help him with his anxiety.

Finn is a loving, happy, and gentle dog. All he wants is a lap to snuggle in at the end of a long day. He would make a great running partner, too! Finn is a great dog and can’t wait for his forever family to find him.

He needs a home where it’s calm and there is little to no traffic coming in and out of the house. Finn also needs a home with no kids. He does well with female dogs but not male dogs. He would also be okay with a cat that won’t get too up close and personal.

For any questions about Finn, please email [email protected].

ADOPTION PENDING🩵

Meet this friendly boy, Milo!

Milo arrived at the shelter as an owner surrender. He is a 2 year old maltese/yorkie mix!

Milo is such a happy, quiet pup. He is such a good boy and does great in his kennel. He enjoys car rides, being outside, and getting lots of attention! Milo is good with both cats and dogs, and would do great in any home looking to add a little fur member to their family.

🩵Special thanks to Missy's Groom & Board in Spencer for always helping us out when we need to get dogs groomed! She does fantastic. We attached pictures of before and after! He was pretty matted so Missy did have to go a little shorter than normal, but he’s still cute as can be!

BEANS!

This good lookin’ young man is still on the lookout for his forever family. Beans is such an amazing dog with a great personality! He’s always happy and wanting to play. Beans does take a little time to warm up to newer people, but give him a little time & he is just a lover.

Beans is currently in a foster home and is doing great! He enjoys hanging out with her while she grooms other dogs or roaming around the shop. Beans is a great dog who can’t wait to be adopted!

For any questions please email [email protected].

Meet STANLEY!

Stanley was an impound, so we are not sure about his past. We believe he is around 3-4 years old.

Stanley has been the sweetest man since the day he arrived! He is calm, gentle, and so well mannered. He has an amazing personality! Stanley is dog friendly, but we are unsure about cats at this time. He would love a family to call his own!

Apply to adopt Stanley here —>

330 days. That’s how long Bowman has been sitting in his kennel at the shelter. In 35 days he will be at the shelter for a year.

Bowman is the biggest goofball you’ll ever meet! He has the sweetest personality and just wants a warm couch to snuggle up on. Bowman can be intimidating because of his size, but we promise you he is the biggest baby ever! He just wants to get love, and he has so much love to give. Bowman is dog friendly and would be fine with older kids, but no younger children because of his size and strength.

Don’t keep him waiting any longer, fill out an application for Bowman today!
