The Pets For the Elderly Foundation (PFE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, so your donation is tax deductible. Our mission is to give both a lonely, elderly person and an innocent, unwanted animal the gift of life, health and happiness. We donate money to animal shelters across the country, saving the lives of pets that need homes. Our program enables elderly people who cannot pay the adoption cost to acquire a pet. Since 1996 we have been responsible for the adoption of nearly 29,000 pets. Last year alone we made donations to 59 shelters and were responsible for over 5,500 adoptions. Currently, we have 80 shelters on our waiting list. We simply don’t have the funds available to make additional donations. Conservatively 6-8 million Shelter Animals are euthanized annually by Shelters simply for lack of funds or space. The most serious disease for older persons is not cancer or heart disease – it’s loneliness. Pets offer affection, unconditional love, fight loneliness, and can help ease the loss of a loved one.
