Meet The Senior Crew
Angel
Angel is a 1 year old Yorkie who came to us with her buddy Jack, another elderly Yorkie used for breeding. Angel spent her whole life being fearful of humans. She is beginning to trust and loves to be held. Even so, she still runs away when you call her name and will only sit on your lap if it is her idea. Angel was never taught how to potty outside but is working on that and doing great. Her safe place is still the kennel, but the door is never closed so she can go in and out at will. She has discovered the comforts of sleeping in bed with her foster and heads for bed around 8:30. Unfortunately Angel is heartworm-positive. We feel like she may not do well with treatment so she takes preventatives every month. Angel is available for adoption to that special someone who can be patient and love her quirky little self!
Jack
Jack is a 12-13-year-old Yorkie who was surrendered with his friend Angel. He is a small guy at only 4.6 pounds and has the sweetest personality. Like Angel, he was used for breeding and didn't have much positive interaction with humans. After joining us, it didn't take Jack too long to figure out that he loved to be held and cuddled. But like Angel, it has to be his idea. Jack has a few medical problems and has to be on maintenance meds. He has congestive heart failure and chronic dry eye. He was also never potty trained so he wears a belly band (doggy diaper). Jack is super loving and cuddly. He is enjoying his new life and is content.

Freddy
Freddy is a special guy who wandered into the yard of a person who knew very little about caring for dogs. The homeowner however could see that his situation was urgent and immediately tried to find a rescue to take him in. Freddy is deaf, and blind. His eyes were severly infected and matted shut. The right eye was sunken into his skull. This poor soul was emaciated and matted beyond words. We did not have much hope for Freddy and thought he would possibly have to be humanely euthanized because of his condition. Surprisingly, Although Freddy was in bad shape, he didn't have any physical problems except his eyes and being malnourished. He has made huge progress in his foster home and continues to thrive. His eyes were eventually removed due to recurring infections. That doesn't slow Freddy down one bit!
Barkley
Barkley is a 10-year-old dog who was surrendered to a shelter. His owner whom Barkley had spent his entire life decided he didn't want him anymore. Unfortunately, Barkley tested positive for heartworms. Because of his age and being extremely overweight, we decided not to put the old guy through treatment. We opted for the "slow kill" method. Barkley absolutely loves to play fetch and will cuddle with anyone who will let him. He does like to strut his stuff to the newbies that come in occasionally, then a long nap follows! Barkley is never far from a ball and usually carries it with him. His ball is off-limits to everyone else!
​
Chica
Chica is approximately 13-14 years old. When her owner passed away, some family members took Chica in. Although they loved her very much, the large resident dogs were just too much for this old girl. Chica needed a safe place to spend the rest of her days. We were happy to let that place be with us!
Even though she's a senior, Chica still is very feisty. If she doesn't want to do something, she hisses like a cat to let you know. She also has a very particular spot on the living room floor where she likes to go potty and will try to go there DAILY! This old gal is independent, demanding at meal times, and does not like her sleep to be disturbed!
Lola
Lola was surrendered to us a few years ago with another elderly dog. Both were 11-12 years old. Her owner who had rescued them both had health problems and had to move in with her granddaughter. Lola was very attached to her owner and went through several weeks of grief after she arrived. Luckily, Lola came to love and trust us and became part of the family. Although the other little dog that arrived with Lola found a home quickly, no one showed interest in our sweet Lola. She has no health issues and is still very active. Lola can be very vocal when she is upset or bothered by another rescue dog. She lets them know her boundaries right away! We absolutely adore this old girl!
