Forever Fosters: Sponsor a Senior Dog
Can't adopt or foster a senior dog? You can still help. All of the dogs featured below are Forever Fosters at The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs. They are not currently available for adoption for a variety of reasons; some have constant medical needs; some are in the final stages of illness; some have special emotional needs; J.J. serves the Sanctuary as therapy dogs and official spokesdogs.
You can sponsor one of our Forever Fosters (or an adoptable dog waiting for a forever home) through our Forever Fosters:Sponsor a Sanctuary Senior program. Your contribution provides food and ongoing medical care for our Sanctuary Seniors. Without sponsors like you, the Sanctuary could not continue its mission of protecting and caring for old dogs that cannot be adopted. In return for your support, you will receive a photo of the dog you have chosen to sponsor. You will also receive periodic updates from your dog sometimes signed with an authentic paw print. If possible, we will arrange for a visit with the dog you sponsor if you are local to Cleveland. Please be sure to tell us which dog you would like to sponsor. In 2012, we launched an e-newsletter just for sponsors of our forever fosters. Be sure to look for it about twice a year.
You may send a check and indicate which dog you would like to sponsor, or you may contact the Sanctuary for a sponsorship form; you can also set up your sponsorship through the links to PayPal at the bottom or the left side of this page. The dog you sponsor will be grateful for your help.
![]() Koda has become part of our Forever Foster program because he has a persistent limp and skin infection that does not respond to treatment. He will stay in his foster home for life to be sure he gets the best care for his chronic illness.
![]() Update: Because of Nolan's even temperament and his past training, he is being evaluated as a Sanctuary therapy dog. He began his formal training in November. Look for news on his progress.
Update: JJ has passed her therapy dog test and is now our therapy dog working with a children's reading program. Congratulations, JJ and Jolene. And thank you to Gold Star Dog Training in Medina, Ohio, specializing in handicapped pets, who worked closely with JJ. Thanks also to Linda Farace of Crazy Dog Studio for the excellent shots of JJ and Jolene. She will remain with the Sanctuary and share her irrepressible joy with others. Your support helps with the cost of JJ's veterinary care.
![]() Update: Gili was diagnosed with pneumonia shortly after she came to us; she has recovered from that completely, but she has recently been diagnosed with a small mass in her chest that is not operable. She is being made comfortable through medication, and she will remain in her foster home for the rest of her life. She is surrounded by love, gets very short daily walks, and has her own special place on the couch . . . and the chair . . . and all the fluffy dog beds!
![]() ![]() Update: Nessie has been diagnosed with kidney disease, and, since she takes some time to adjust to new surroundings, she will stay in her foster home where she is loved for life. She is shown at far left in the pound and at far right getting some attention from her foster brother Harry.
Update: Evie has moved to her new foster home where she will remain for life since our vet has decided that she is too fragile to be safely spayed. She has taken her place in a family of one loving woman and two cats. Evie interacts with the cats in her new home, letting them know who is boss even though they are easily twice her size. Her new care giver reports that Evie has made remarkable progress in every way; she is healthier than she has ever been, and she is mentally alert and interested in her surroundings. She is a devoted lap dog who has found the perfect home.
![]() Update: Neeko has just moved to a new Forever Foster home when his original foster moved out of state and could not take Neeko with her. He adjusted in record time and was last seen with Loki the cat who was busily licking Neeko's ear. He is enjoying several walks a day and all the love he could ever want. Because of Neeko's age and his elevated liver enzymes, he will stay with the Sanctuary for life.
![]() Update: Rolo has moved to a new Forever Foster home, sharing his life happily with several ferrets! He has advanced heart disease but still enjoys his life, surrounded by love and excellent care.
![]() ![]() Update: Hazel has been with the Sanctuary for over four years now. She is 11 or 12 years old and happy as long as she has her very own chair. She shares a foster home with Nolan and FayFay, both of whom are her very best friends. She still loves chasing squirrels and stray cats out of her yard; she sings and dances for her dinner and generally enjoys her life. Your support helps meet Hazel's medical needs, which include supplementation and medication for spinal arthritis and daily medication for her allergies and thyroid condition.
![]() Your monthly sponsorship helps us care for those senior dogs who cannot be adopted because of medical or emotional conditions. We provide foster homes, medical care, food, and lots of love with the help of sponsors like you. Thank you for considering a senior dog. Our permanent Sanctuary dogs send out a four-paw thank you as well.
