Senior Dog Diary: First Satellite Sanctuary

Ted: I heard you have big news Nik!

Nik: Sure do... all the hard work as Ambassador for Homer J's Senior Dog Sanctuary has finally paid off.

Ted:  I know you have been working hard spreading the Senior Dog Adoption gospel, what happened?

Nik:  I have a few friends in Ohio that have been considering adopting a Senior from a nearby shelter.

Ted: Considering?  What do you mean?

Nik:  Until recently, they were still recovering from the loss of their best friend, a Golden named Chloe... she was amazing, the kind of spirit that makes you proud to be a D.O.G, if you know what I mean.

Ted:  Sure do... Go on...

Nik: Well, I have been keeping in touch with them through Facebook and when I logged in to check on them, I saw this picture. Her name is June, she is 10 years old and spent the last year in a local kennel.  Poor girl's parents dropped her off and never came back. 

Ted: That makes me so sad.

Nik:  Yea, its sad, but the kennel staff took great care of her.  When my friends heard about June needing a home, they told the staff that they were willing to give it a try for the weekend.  Apparently it only took June 4 hours to win them over.  Not only did they offer her a permanent home, but they want to be an Official Satellite Sanctuary. June will join me as an Ambassador and try to help Senior Dogs everywhere.

Ted:  That's great Nik.  The hard work finally paid off; The Homer would be very proud.  We will be sure to send June and her new family a Satellite Sanctuary Care package with special instructions and gifts in recognition of their generosity.

Nik: Can we send June a special tag so everyone knows her special role as Senior Dog Ambassador.

Ted: No problem buddy.  June J. Pumpkin.... Welcome to the Family.
