The Pets For the Elderly Foundation (PFE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation with a mission to give both a lonely, elderly person and an innocent, unwanted animal the gift of life, health and happiness. They donate money to animal shelters across the country, saving the lives of pets that need homes while enabling elderly people who cannot pay the adoption cost to acquire a pet. Last year alone they made donations to 59 shelters and were responsible for over 5,500 adoptions. 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. Visit their website to learn more.
