Make Your Home a Senior Sanctuary

Picture
There are thousands of wonderful senior dog companions waiting for homes in shelters across the country. Although we would love to provide sanctuary to every senior in need, we could never address the problem on our own. 

We don't just encourage others to adopt seniors, we want to create a network of senior dog adopters to extol the virtues of this fine breed. 

Would you like to turn your home into a Satellite Sanctuary and help us advocate for Senior Dog Adoption?

Why Choose Senior Shelter Dogs?

Picture Hour 3 of Afternoon Nap 2
We started adopting senior dogs  because we figured they make good pets without the difficulties that come with a younger animal.  We continue to adopt seniors because we have found them to be endearing companions and loyal friends.  

A Senior dog may not be the right choice for everyone, but in many circumstances they are not only a good choice, but a better choice than a younger animal. Find out if a Senior Dog is right for you!
