Notes: We have three wonderful senior pups: Marv, Buddy, and Lincoln, who are eagerly searching for a loving home to spend their golden years.

Marv is a gentle soul with a heart of gold. Marv loves to lounge around and soak up the sun. He enjoys short walks and cuddles on the couch.

Buddy is charming fellow and full of personality. He loves to explore at his own pace and has a knack for making everyone smile with his sweet nature.

Lincoln is the wise one of the bunch. He has a calm demeanor and a loving spirit. He enjoys leisurely strolls and is always up for some quality snuggle time.

Why Adopt a Senior Dog?

• Loving Companions: They offer unconditional love and companionship.
• Low Maintenance: Senior dogs are often more settled and require less training than younger pups.
• Gratitude: There is something special about giving a senior dog a second chance at happiness.

ONE BY ONE One by one, they pass by my cage Too old, too worn, too broken, they say Way past his time, he can’t run and play They shake their heads and go on their way A little old man, arthritic and sore It seems that I am wanted no more I once had a home, I once had a bed A place that was warm, and where I was fed Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didn’t belong I got in their way, my attitude wrong Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day The younger ones are chosen and taken away When I had come to the end of my rope You saw my face and again I knew hope You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age And felt I deserved life beyond this cage You took me home, gave me food and a bed You gently stroked my poor tired head We snuggle and play, you talk to me low You love me so dearly, and make sure I know Although I have lived most of my life with another You outshine them with a love so much stronger I promise to return all the love I can give To you my dear friend, as long as I live I may be with you for a week, or for years We will share many smiles, and a few tears When the time comes, that God deems I must leave I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve When I arrive at the Bridge all brand new My thoughts and my heart will still be with you And I will brag to all who will hear Of the person who made my last days so dear.
