PFE is
a non-profit foundation that “provides the gift of health
and happiness to senior citizens” while helping save lives
of dogs and cats. The program aids seniors in adopting a
companion pet and helps offset “the most serious disease for
older persons – loneliness,” according to the organization.
Pets offer affection, unconditional love, fight loneliness
and can help ease the loss of a loved one.
At the
Tulsa SPCA, our adoption fees do not cover the full expense
of rescue and rehabilitation, safety, care and shelter while
with us.
However, the fee does help us offset the cost of dog and cat
care including veterinary evaluation on arrival and before
going to a new home, tests, spay and neuter, vaccinations,
medications, medical procedures and surgeries, elimination
of fleas, ticks, worms. And, our shelter residents have a
high quality diet, comfortable bedding and toys for
entertainment, along with plenty of playtime with other
four-footed friends. |
