Golden years dog sanctuary is dedicated to saving senior and at-risk dogs and cats from shelters to give them the best of the rest of their lives. We seek out the old, sad, sick, never-going-to-get-adopted dogs and provide them the medical care they need and the loving home they deserve. In some cases, they only have a couple of months remaining. More often though, many of these old dogs that we thought were sick or on their last legs, thrive at our sanctuary and in foster homes and live not only months, but years!  When we started in 2017, we rescued 27 dogs in a year.  Now, we rescue that many dogs in a couple of months. Since our inception in 2017, we have rescued over 350 dogs as of July 1, 2025. Senior dogs are often dumped and the shelter and not adopted because of the potential medical costs to care for these dogs in their old age. Every dog we rescue is seen by our veterinarian. We do an initial exam and bloodwork and then come up with a plan to provide the dog with care and comfort.  Sometimes, that care includes doing dentals or tumor removals.  Most of our foster dogs are adopted by their foster parents (others remain as forever fosters), but we still cover major medical for the rest of the dog's life. We also rescue hospice and sick cats from the shelters as we have space or fosters available. Our monthly medical bills per month are often greater that what we receive for donations. In order for us to maintain our goal of providing the best of the rest of the lives to these dogs and cats and giving them the medical care they need,  we need financial support.
