The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs is dedicated to the rescue, adoption and lifelong care of abandoned old dogs. Each dog that enters our doors has a place for life in a loving foster home. If a dog cannot be adopted because of health of emotional fragility, she will stay for life in a Forever Foster home. All of our dogs receive all necessary medical care and eat a high quality diet.

Some dogs with exceptional temperaments are trained to serve as therapy dogs, giving back to the community that supports them. Therapy dogs live in a Forever Foster home and visit nursing homes, schools, libraries, college campuses, hospice homes, group homes, and sheltered workshops, sharing their joy and special brand of comfort with those in need.

Our mission is to rescue senior dogs abandoned in shelters; to provide lifelong quality care for rescued senior dogs; to adopt appropriate dogs into loving, permanent homes; to develop programs that match senior dogs and senior people to their mutual benefit; to foster an awareness of our lifelong responsibility to our companion animals; and to strengthen the bonds between humans and animals by teaching respect and compassion for all living things.

We believe in giving old dogs a second chance at the good life that all dogs deserve. Old Dogs, Great Friends!
