Our Sanctuary Dogs

What is  ” Our Sanctuary Dogs” ?

Senior Paws Sanctuary has a dream. Our dream is that there will be a day senior dogs will not have to live and take their last breath alone in a shelter. We will often take a rescue from a shelter realizing that he or she may not find a home and will need to stay with SPS until their time comes to walk across the rainbow bridge. We will also make decisions at times to keep a rescued dog in the care of SPS because they may have an illness that could become costly and want our dogs to know love and care for as long as we can given them that feeling.

OUR FIRST SENIOR RESIDENTS IS :

Ali , who is blind and very frail is a SPS resident. She is in a home with love , no small children in the home and given a good quality of life .

Since this photo was posted she has went home to her other friends that has all ready crossed over.

SECOND RESIDENT IS :

Gracie , who was our breast cancer dog. Gracie is very under weight and frail. She had surgery and several of her tumors came back cancerous. We do not know at this time what Gracie’s outcome may be but she will always have a home with SPS.

This little girl was so sweet! she had a home with the rescue untll it was her time

If we could ever imagined years ago when she came to the rescue that she would still be with us.

She is so ornery but she still loves to eat and drink and go outside with the rest of her friends.

My name is Snow, I am 12 years old and they tell me I am a Poodle. I am not sure because, well I have had to have both of my eyes removed. I have a story that a lot of us here at SPS have. I was picked up in Tampa Florida walking the streets and something was put in my eyes to burn them really bad, So SPS took me in and had my eyes taken care of and I am so much better now. The only thing that would make everything better is to have my forever home with someone who really loves me. But it is okay if that does not happen because SPS will always love and take care of me.
