I found several errors in your code you can check the below code and let me know if its working

app\code\community\JR\CreateAdminController\controllers\Adminhtml\CustomController.php

<?php
class JR_CreateAdminController_Adminhtml_CustomController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
    public function declarationAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout()
            ->_setActiveMenu('sales')

        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

Correct the file name of your xml here

app\design\adminhtml\default\default\layout\jr_createadmincontroller.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <adminhtml_custom_declaration>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="custom_declaration" template="custom/declaration.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </adminhtml_custom_declaration>
</layout>

Create two additional files

app\code\community\JR\CreateAdminController\Block\Adminhtml\Custom.php

<?php
class JR_CreateAdminController_Block_Adminhtml_Custom extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Template
{

}

app\code\community\JR\CreateAdminController\Helper\Data.php

<?php

class JR_CreateAdminController_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}

Hopes this helps you out !!!

Magento Admin – Append Block to Admin Login Form

So the answer is that it should not be an observed event. Here is how I got it to work, in the config.xml I needed to update the adminhtml node.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Wsu_NewtworkSecurities>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Wsu_NewtworkSecurities>
  </modules>
  <adminhtml>
    <layout>
      <updates>
        <wsu_newtworksecurities>
          <file>newtworksecurities.xml</file>
        </wsu_newtworksecurities>
      </updates>
    </layout>
  </adminhtml>
</config>

and in

app\design\adminhtml\default\default\layout\wsu\newtworksecurities.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <feildset>
        <reference name="head">
            <action method="addJs">
                <script>wsu/newtworksecurities/newtworksecurities.js</script>
            </action>
        </reference>
    </feildset>

    <adminhtml_index_login>
        <update handle="feildset" />
        <reference name="form.additional.info">
            <block type="wsu_newtworksecurities/feildset" name="newtworksecurities.feildset"
                   template="wsu/newtworksecurities/feildset.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </adminhtml_index_login>

    <wsu_newtworksecurities_error_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="newtworksecurities.error" template="wsu/newtworksecurities/error.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </wsu_newtworksecurities_error_index>

Admin Grid View Not Working in Magento – Custom Module Fix

I cant see any menu codes here. So provide us with adminhtml.xml if any.

However I will give you my random thoughts here. Your admin route is setup like this.

 <routers>
    <pets>
        <use>admin</use>
        <args>
            <module>Ffriends_Pets</module>
            <frontName>pets</frontName>
        </args>
    </pets>
</routers>

What this do is setuping an admin router for your module. It has no problem as of now. But this will leads all of your module's url (admin side) looks like this

  www.domain.com/pets/controller/method

But if you have a look on all of admin urls, it follows this convention

  www.domain.com/admin/controller/method

If you need the same effect, then you need to change your admin router setup like this.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <ffriends_pets before="Mage_Adminhtml">Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml</ffriends_pets >
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Second point comes in layout xml file. As per your current configuration, your layout xml file looks good. However if you adopt the method that I put forward, then there is slight change comes in layout xml file. Layout handle that you are currently using pets_adminhtml_pets_index will change to adminhtml_pets_index. This is because instead of pets router configuration now we are using adminhtml router configuration which is defined inside the core module Mage_Adminhtml.

Now as per the layout xml and configuration, there should be a controller present in your module. It would be

File : app/code/local/Ffriends/Pets/controllers/Adminhtml/PetsController.php

<?php
class Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml_PetsController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
     public function indexAction()
     {
         $this->loadLayout();
         $this->renderLayout();
     }
}

Without this controller, nothing is going to show in admin side.

Side Note :- In order to have a custom menu, you need additional configurations. It will be normally do in adminhtml.xml file. There are plenty of tutorials available outside for set uping a menu. So google it.
