Meet the Dogs

You're never too old to snuggle your favorite teddy bear! After a health scare, senior pup Confetti is now safe and cozy at home with her beloved family. 

At 13 years old, Hoss was surrendered when his family had a new baby. He was heartbroken emotionally and suffering physically from neglect. Covered in fleas, he had a painful, fractured tooth and tested positive for heartworm disease. Hoss desperately needed help to heal his body and his spirit.

Sweet little Bart had a loving home, but sadly his owner developed health issues that prevented her from giving him the care he needed. She loved him so much that she made the incredibly difficult decision to do what was best for him. Bart's special person surrendered him to Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue, wanting to give him another chance at a healthy, happy life.

During a 911 medical response in rural New Mexico, the fire department happened to come across Dukey at the residence. At ten years old, he was suffering from severe and untreated dry eye disease. This poor guy was in extreme pain and completely blind. Thankfully, our friends at NMDOG quickly came to the rescue.

Best friends at 11 and 97 years old! Zorro and Margie came into each other's lives when they needed each other the most. Zorro found himself homeless and confused after his lifelong special person passed away. He was sad, lethargic, and fearful after his world was turned upside down. And Margie was suffering from depression and loneliness without companionship after recently moving to a senior living facility. Margie's daughter realized her mom needed a friend and came to Charming Pet Rescue to meet Zorro.

Sweet senior Boulder is a puppy mill survivor. She was surrendered to Shelter From The Storm after eight years of receiving minimal to non-existent veterinary care, no social interaction, and no toys or treats that every dog deserves. But thanks to your support of The Grey Muzzle Organization, Boulder got a second chance!

At 15 years old, Chewpee the Chihuahua lost both of his owners within six months after they each sadly passed away. Family members noticed that his health and emotional state were in decline but could not afford costly veterinary care. They decided that euthanasia might be the most humane option, but the private practice veterinary euthanasia fees were also beyond reach. As a last resort, they brought Chewpee to Maui Humane Society to say a heartbreaking goodbye...

Bonded pair Sherlock and Watson were rescued by Animal Rescue New Orleans from a rural shelter where limited resources and overflowing animals meant these two seniors needed help. This sweet duo had trouble eating due to the pain from infection, and they were in dire need of a dental with extractions.

When Kip was first rescued by our friends at The Animal Rescue Mission, he was skin and bone and missing huge patches of fur. Kip stayed in their hospital for several months to recover. Once Kip was finally healthy enough to leave the clinic, he looked and felt like a brand-new dog.

When her 13-year-old Dachshund, Ozzie, developed a severe dental abscess, Maritza reached out to Neighborhood Pets in Cleveland for help. Maritza said that Ozzie means the world to her. Ozzie takes such good care of her, and she wants to take good care of him in return. But living on a fixed income made an unexpected and expensive dental procedure out of reach.

P-Nut was surrendered to a vet’s office for euthanasia because “he was old.” Thankfully, a foster parent for Carolina Poodle Rescue stepped up to help. P-Nut was in terrible shape after a years of neglect. His fur was so severely matted that you could barely see the outline of his little body. He was quiet – almost defeated – during the car ride home from the vet, and yet, in his cloudy, aged eyes, there was hope.

At 11 years old, Todd the beagle was left in an overnight drop pen, constantly coughing without relief due to an advanced case of heartworm disease. Despite feeling pretty crummy, Todd still had a sweet, trusting smile on his face, knowing he was in good hands.
