“They come to us from other rescues, or folks that can’t take care of them anymore – maybe someone’s going into a nursing home, or a family member has passed away – so those dogs come to stay with us, and there’s no longer any worries that they’re going to be passed along again.  This is the end, but it’s a happy end.”

Many of the dogs have medical issues – respiratory illnesses, heart problems, incontinence, mobility struggles – which are quite costly, but through donations, their needs are met.

“Our supporters are amazing! Recently a kindergarten boy named Compton held a fundraiser selling apple cider for the Sanctuary,” they posted on Facebook. He and his parents came over to bring the donation and spent some time giving Duke some cuddles. Thank you, Compton!”

Volunteers are integral for the sanctuary’s continuation.  They are there every day to feed the dogs, administer medications, clean up after them, tidy the house, bathe them, entertain them, and just hang out.
