Would you like to sponsor a dog?
Some of our "Adorable Adoptables", although somewhat elderly, still have a zest for life and are in reasonably good health for their age. Sadly, these animals are rarely adopted to permanent homes because people tend to shy away from older dogs. Perhaps it is the fear of adopting --and then losing -- that makes this a common situation all across America. However, we firmly believe that the joy of providing a loving home for a senior dog far outweighs the sorrow at it's passing.
We offer sponsorship of these dogs so that they may live comfortably in the loving environment of our foster home. Your contribution of $20.00 per month will help provide food, medications, and veterinary care for our long term senior residents. *PLEASE NOTE* These special dogs may be considered for adoption to qualified, dedicated, loving homes. They may require medications, and will certainly require extra measures of care and attention. Please, serious inquiries only!
 
LANEY was named because she was found sitting in the middle lane of a road by a good samaritan. She is a sweet well mannered dog who has a multitude of health problems. She has an ugly mammary tumor and terrible teeth and normally I would have her spayed, the tumor removed and her teeth done by now but she has a bad enough heart murmur to make it risky to put her under anesthesia. Her blood work results were pretty good so maybe with some tlc here she will improve in the heart department and can have her surgery done. She will have a home here for life unless a kind soul would like to and is able to care for Laney. Despite all her problems she loves to be with you , go for walks or anything you would like to do with her. Update: Laney has had her tumor removed and her teeth taken care of! You may fill in our adoption application if you would like to be considered in giving Laney a home. The amount of the adoption fee will depend on if she has been able to have her surgery done or not.
Samantha came from a home in W.Va. where her owner had been sick and unable to care for them for a long time. She is a lovely old lady who needs a quiet home for her golden years. She enjoys sleeping, very short slow walks and to be held and talked to. She had a best friend Barney who is no longer with us but she is doing very well on her own. She is a tiny little Shih Tzu mix, her coat is sort of wirey and wavey so I am guessing some kind of terrier. She weighs about 7 lbs. Sammie will always have a home here she is a total couch potato.
Baron had belonged to a man who became homeless and although he loved Baron a lot he had no money to have him treated by a vet. When he arrived here he had horrible oozing sores in his ears, was mostly bald on his back and legs. He has diabetes insipidis plus allergies. We are still working on his amount of medication but so far he is improving. He has the best disposition, loves everyone he meets, dogs or people and his favorite thing is to wander around with a toy in his mouth. We think he is an
Newfoundland mix and is over ten years old. Everyone who sees him just loves him. His hair is starting to grow back in a little and he has gained quite a bit of weight.
If you would like to sponsor Baron he will certainly appreciate it.
