Senior Spotlight

We envision a world where every senior dog thrives, and no old dog dies alone and afraid. Ensuring senior dogs find loving, forever homes is central to that vision. There are many benefits and reasons to adopt a senior dog, and we hope to show the world what incredible companions they are.

Here are some adoptable senior dogs located across the country. Please check in with each organization to learn more about how to adopt a shelter or rescue dog.

Willow

Willow would love to be pampered and wouldn't mind one bit if you brag about how adorable she is. Not one to work the camera, but does like looking pretty in her sweater collection. This dainty gal enjoys lap snuggles, but happy in her own cozy bed when it's time to turn it. Blind, but gets around...

Reesie

Reesie is an observer and a dreamer. You will often find her mentally recording all the comings and goings of our shelter. She is a very good girl. And we're not just typing that because she is looking over our shoulder and dictating every word of this.

Seriously, Reesie is pretty magical. She has...

Reggie

Play ball! That is Reggie's favorite motto. He believes in fetch even if you fake throw it! Favorite color? Tennis ball yellow of course.  Reggie must have gotten in the senior center with a fake I.D. because he has the spunk of a puppy!  He minds commands sit, shake, and lay down, and goes in his...
