To build a Forever Foster Home network to enable us to place more senior dogs in loving home settings for the duration of their lives. Grand Paws Senior Sanctuary in California mostly takes in large breed senior dogs from local high-kill shelters because they are the most at risk of being euthanized for going unwanted. Part of their mission is to educate people about the joys and challenges of living with older dogs while providing the pups at the sanctuary with good food and veterinary care for the rest of their lives.
With one look into my big brown eyes, you’ll fall hard and fast for me. Since I can get very excited, a home with older children would be best for me. Bonus points if you have a large fenced yard and another athletic dog like me at home.
Some of our adoptable seniors
As a duchess, I might be considered snooty and pretentious, but nothing could be further from the truth. I wasn’t always treated like royalty, though. I’ve been eating healthy dog food, and let me tell ya, I don’t hate it! I’m getting stronger and healthier every day. I’ve got some awesome Australian dog breed genes in me. You can see some of the hallmark features, like my speckled coat.
And I have a side hustle as a security guard. I’m just trying to protect my family, so I bark at mail carriers and the people and dogs who walk past our house. Having said that, once I know you’re a cool person we can be friends. Some organizations are building on the experiences of people like Dwight, Mary and Jay and making an extra effort to help older animals find new homes. Special programs to adopt out senior animals have been effective, and there are even organizations that focus exclusively on finding older pets new homes.
BEHAVIOR ISSUES
It’s fun and challenging for me to be active, but I’m equally enthusiastic about brain games. A consistent mix of both would be super cool—I don’t make the best decisions when I’m bored. I’m a highly intelligent breed with a lot of pep and spunk, but I’m also a little shy.
Your support of Saving Senior Dogs USA and Saving Senior Dogs Week will provide much needed funds forour member rescues,making it possible for them to continue to carry out their missions. Twenty-five percent of the funds go into a grant fund to help our member rescues with medical expenses for the dogs they rescue. It is terribly confusing for an old dog to suddenly be away from those they have spent so much time with and learned to trust.

And if food tolerances are in the mix, simultaneously feeding both dogs may be impossible. Other issues to look out for include territorial behavior around mealtime . Until you can be sure of how your puppy will behave while you’re gone from the home and how the two dogs will interact with each other, never leave your puppy loose in the house unsupervised.
Having a deaf dog like me will require a little extra effort and patience, but I promise you I’m worth it. I’ll be happiest with my own space and maybe even my own bed while I get settled into my new home and get to know my new family. That way, I can retreat to my space if I feel nervous, or choose to explore when I feel brave. Unfortunately, I am currently heartworm positive. The good news is that I’m young and have no symptoms, so I’m expected to fully recover! And my shelter is paying for the rest of the treatments, so no worries about cost.
I was brought in as a stray, and no one claimed me, but I don’t have any known medical or behavioral issues. When it comes to family life, I get along with most dogs and am most comfortable around kiddos 5 years and older. You probably know one of the most popular dog breeds is the golden retriever, but did you know the English golden retriever is just as lovable and cute? The only difference is that dogs like me have a softer, lighter coat. My foster mom says I’m mellow for my age and such a happy little boy.
I like to go, go, go, then pass out on the couch for a good nap. A dog’s tail gives you clues to its emotions. I show my excitement and love by constantly wagging my tail and wiggling my butt. Speaking of emotions, my humans can’t believe how intuitive I am. I can sense what you need, like when you’re craving a cuddle or want to play.
In honor of November being Adopt a Senior Pet Month, the rescue flew 23 senior dogs 856 miles from Los Angeles to Eugene, Oregon, on Nov. 5, where their foster parents and forever homes were waiting. The non-profit initially started with housing dogs in the sanctuary. However, they soon realized how great the demand for rescuing senior dogs was and started an adoption program. You can learn a lot about people by seeing where and how they live. And unfortunately, as we’ve learned over the years with folks who inquire about becoming ODH homes, everyone does not represent their home situation accurately. You want a safe, loving, comfortable home for your elderly dog, so if you can possibly swing it, we recommend that you do a home visit.
First off, chihuahuas are known for being a low-maintenance dog breed. Second, doggy experts say chihuahuas are one of the longest-living dog breeds, and we have a clean bill of health. It’s hard to imagine, but we weren’t very loved in our last homes.
