What makes “Our Waifs” Special…

  • If we share responsibility for a homeless animal, it will not be killed for lack of a home.
  • We will treat it as an individual, not a statistic, and do everything in our power to give it needed care and protection and insure it a good lifetime home.
  • We will try to adopt to people whose history of animal care we know, and for those we don’t know, we have an extensive application, interview, and screening process.
  • We follow-up to assure ourselves that the match is a good one and that it’s working out well, or we take the animal back!
  • We do everything we can to educate and support people to provide excellent, humane care.
  • Because our Waifs are usually in foster care for a while for rehabilitation, they are often part of bonded pairs by the time they’re ready for adoption…

    Micro-Cash Flow Pet Care Loan Application Outline For Responsible Pet Guardians

    The Pet Tenders Foundation will consider providing cash-flow loans to people in transitional hardship situations resulting from unavoidable disasters.  Loans will be made in the form of payments to the pet care provider* on behalf of the borrower.  Loans will not exceed $500 and must be repaid according to a mutually agreed-upon payment schedule within 6 months of the borrower regaining custody of the pet(s).   If approved, borrowers must sign a binding legal contract agreeing to repay the loan to the Pet Tenders Foundation.   (Note:  At the present time, the PTF has the resources to support only one loan at a time, and preference will be given to Franklin Co., MO residents.)
