Senior Pet and Animal Rescue

Senior Pet and Animal Rescue (SPAAR) is a non-profit and volunteer foster-based rescue located in Pit

Jen and Laura dreamed of a safe haven for senior animals that are generally considered "less adoptable" or "difficult to place." As owners and lovers of elderly pets, they realized these animals needed their help and homes. Senior Pet and Animal Rescue (SPAAR) transformed that dream into a heartfelt reality. Through grassroots outreach efforts, SPAAR commits to educating the public about the advan

In 2017 we weren't sure if we'd have seven weeks with our dear Milo, who battled with cancer. Seven YEARS later, he still continues to amaze us πŸ’š

And we πŸ’― know that his mom Jen is the reason. Her unending love and constant care has given our one-eyed hospice pug the absolute best life a senior pet could ever hope to have.

Thanks to our generous supporters, you raised more than $1,000 for our seniors. Your donations will go toward things like medical bills for our loving boy Sport, who is wishing for his very own Christmas tree this holiday season πŸŽ„

And remember, if you didn't give yesterday on , you still have until December 31st to contribute to our fundraising campaign πŸ’

Keep checking back, as we're lining up some awesome ways to celebrate, including special events and some "pawtographed" artwork from the man himself.

On this last day of 2022, we are heartbroken to let you know that sweet Baxter is no longer with us.

At SPAAR we do everything we can to make our seniors feel happy, healthy, safe, at peace, and at home. No matter what we tried, Baxter just didn't get there.

We could go through the laundry list of his issues, ailments, and problems. But, in the end, he was an old dog that was searching, pleading for an end to his pain.

Thank you to his foster Jen who did literally everything she could to bring Baxter comfort. While he did know pain, he also knew love.

Baxter, we hope you're resting easy now. We miss you πŸ’”

Baxter is on his way in for emergency surgery - his poor eye burst. We anticipate a very costly vet bill that will deplete most of our reserve funding. If you have anything you can spare, please help by donating through our PayPal link below.

We're excited to introduce you to a brand new SPAAR senior, Sportacus!

"Sport" is 18 or 19 and was placed outdoors a few months ago after being an indoor kitty all his life. A good samaritan picked him up, and now our foster Katie is spoiling him rotten.

We've got to get him back into the vet to see what we're dealing with from a medical perspective. But, for now, he's comfy and cozy for the holidays.

Welcome home, Sport

It looks like Milo's newest foster brother is feeling a bit better πŸ’™

Thank you so much for taking care of our boy 🐾

We are so happy to see Baxter enjoying his new Fluff Trough! He was one of the recipients of our Giving Tuesday donation this year! ❀️❀️❀️

Baxter, Senior Pet and Animal Rescue’s newest hospice foster. He’s a 13 year old pug.

12/12/2022

Send some healing thoughts to our buddy, Baxter. He's struggling to adjust, so we hope a trip to the vet later today can help us figure out how to make him happy and comfortable.

On the last day of Senior Pet Month, we'd like to introduce you to our new friend, Baxter πŸ’™

***OUR RESCUE PARTNERS, Senior Pet and Animal Rescue, SPAAR, HAVE AN IMMEDIATE HOME FOR HIM!!***

This little old man is Baxter. His human dad is currently on hospice. 😞 He was very loved his whole life. The family is not able to keep him. He is 13 years old. He is neutered and house broken. He likes other dogs and children. Cats are unknown.
