Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Improve the lives of shelter dogs and provide necessary vet care for these seniors who would otherwise have nothing. We strongly believe and will strive to improve the quality of life for senior dogs left behind in shelters and in dire need of care and compassion in their golden years. We also believe in strong and ethical partner relationships, to include a all foster based rescue. We also will help educate owners who feel a shelter may be their only resource available for their senior companion.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We had a hugely successful and busy year in 2023, rescuing a total of 29 animals!Every single dog and cat we took in received full medical care, including vaccinations, microchips, and spay/neuter surgery, and we're thrilled to report that all were adopted! Our 27 dog rescues spanned a variety of needs: We welcomed a beautiful family: Millie, a pit bull mom, and her nine puppies. We saved a bonded senior pair, Charlie and Sofie, keeping them together. Eight local dogs came to us from our WA shelter partners: Maggie, Bento, Paddington, Connor, Tater Tot, Mortimer, Josie, and Jangels. We rescued six seniors through various channels: three from our CA partners (Brownie, Bradley Big Boy, and Sebastian Reggie) and three owner-surrenders (Buddy, Norman, and Lilly). We also took in Kya, a young shepherd mix surrendered on a local street corner. Rounding out our rescues were two senior owner-surrendered cats: Buttercup and Sour Patch ("Polly").-$54,766
