This is a very exciting
time in our organization’s history – a time of expansion and
possibilities. Twelve years in, we are seeking to purchase
our own sanctuary property in Jupiter Farms. This will
allow us to provide more services for the community such
as volunteer opportunities for senior people, vet clinics,
pet boarding, educational programming and special events.
And most importantly, it will ensure that the Forever
Promises we make to our pets are kept for life! Expires 7/15/24.

A Pet Owner Faces A
Health Crisis – Cookie’s
Story
Cookie, a 10-year-old
hound mix, came to us in
September 2023 when her
dad was diagnosed with
dementia and moved into a
memory care facility with
his wife. Through no fault
of her own, Cookie was
homeless. The owner’s Cookie
daughter contacted The Pet
Cottage for help because she couldn’t imagine sending
her parents’ beloved dog to a shelter knowing the outcome
likely wouldn’t be positive.
