If you have found yourself on this page, then I can’t tell you how excited I am!! That means you’re ready to either foster or adopt an old dog.
Whichever one, I’m absolutely thrilled for you. You can find all the help and advice you need bu browsing this blog, following our Facebook page, and joining the Facebook group Senior Dog Care Club (run by the founder of this blog).
But first let’s help you find that special pup!!
Here is a list of shelters and rescues I have found who have old dogs looking for homes.
I have no experience with any of them, I am simply providing this resource to make things easier for you. Many I have reached out to in order to let them know they are on my list, but that’s the extent of our interaction.
Whenever I hear of someplace new I add it here. If there is one you’re familiar with that isn’t on this list, please let me know by emailing me at Jessica(at)pettalkmedia(dot)com as I would like this to be as complete as possible.
When you do get your new pup, be sure and drop me a line and let me know about your experience, how things are going and don’t forget to show him or her off with some pics on our Facebook page!!
