Sponsor
Sponsor a Senior PetEach animal that comes into our care receives senior diagnostics, and many require dental surgeries, imaging, and other specialized care. We spend hundreds, and often thousands of dollars on each animal in our care. Often our longest stay animals require the most care. Even if you can't foster or adopt, you can sponsor an animal to help support their daily care and make a difference in their life.

Adopt
Adopt a Senior PetSure, puppies and kittens are cute, but we think that pets just get better with age. Senior pets are full of wisdom, charm, and gratitude. Many health conditions and special care requirements aren't as scary as they sound, and we fully vet all of the animals in our care to set them up for success in their forever home. Ready to change a life?

Foster
Foster a Senior PetAs a foster-based rescue, foster homes are the life blood of our work. Whether you are able to open your home for a week or a year, we need you! Foster homes provide love and care for our animals, we provide food, supplies, and veterinary care. This can be a great option if you would like to help a senior animal, but don't have the financial means to do so. We never give up on any animal, so sometimes foster animals become "fospice" and spend the rest of their lives with their foster home.
Adoptable Pets
Meet our "Fospice" Friends
The animals below are part of our "Fospice" program. They are considered hospice due to incurable conditions that are beyond the scope of most families ability to manage, either because of the severity of the condition or the financial costs associated with their treatment. We place them in special, dedicated foster homes who love them as if they were their own, and we continue to provide for their medical care and make sure that they are living a happy life. These animals aren't available for adoption, but they still need your help! Consider making a donation to help us continue to provide the best care for every animal, no matter their age or health condition.

Queenie
When one of our partners reached out about Queenie over a year ago they weren't sure she'd live to see the weekend. She was one big matted mess, with masses, and an old wound that had been covered in maggots. We wanted to give her a chance, and she showed us she has the fighting spirit! Queenie was able to recover, undergo surgery for a spay and mass removal. Queenie has multiple life-long health conditions and continues to require daily medications and regular health checks by our veterinary team, but she's loving her golden years being spoiled by her foster mom!

Noodle
Noodle came to us as a pup after he was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. The shelter quickly realized that something wasn't quite right with Noodle. Noodle is blind, and suffers from a neurological disorder that impacts his ability to walk like a normal dog. Noodle still gets around just fine, and is a very happy, sweet boy! Unfortunately, while in our care we also realized that Noodle suffers from idiopathic aggression, which can happen very unexpectedly. This makes him unsafe for many families and situations. Luckily his foster mom is very experienced with dogs with behaviors issues, and handles Noodles "episodes" while keeping everyone safe.

Honey
Honey came to us almost a year ago with late stage kidney disease. She had been abandoned on a doorstep in a dirty crate, and then taken to a local shelter that we partner with. While we initially hoped to find her a home, after several meet and greets it became clear that Honey was happiest in her foster home where she had settled in and made herself at home. We continue to monitor Honey closely to make sure she's eating enough (even if it's mostly people food) and that her arthritis is managed and not causing her discomfort. Honey is enjoying her time being pampered and hanging out with her foster brother, Noodle!
