Please Adopt Us!

The dogs featured on this page are available for adoption from The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs. All of our dogs have been altered, evaluated for temperament, and provided with necessary medical care. Our dogs are indoor dogs, looking for a home in which they will be valued family members. Please see our adoption procedures to the left.

Please do not post our adoptable dogs on any other web site, in any e-mail, or on any Internet list serv without our written permission. The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs does not euthanize our dogs for space. A senior dog in our program has a place for life.

SANCTUARY SENIORS LOOKING FOR A HOME

Bram, an 8-year-old Poodle mix, arrived at animal control absolutely covered in fleas, thin, and completely miserable. He recently received a clean bill of health from our veterinarian and will be neutered next week. He has been groomed and bathed. We will update with new picture shortly. For more information on Bram or to schedule a meeting, please contact the Sanctuary.

Rusty, a senior Dachshund, is brand new to the Sanctuary. He is a bit frightened and very thin but happy to be in a warm, loving Sanctuary foster home. He has recently been neutered and had most of his teeth removed. He feels much better now, and he is just waiting for the right home to come along and scoop him up! For more information about Rusty or to schedule a meeting, please contact the Sanctuary.

Leo the Little Lion, a 12-year-old Pomeranian, came to the Sanctuary after he received a lot of attention on Facebook. He found himself at a local shelter, too old and ill for the adoption floor. That's when Chris, a Pit Bull rescuer from Rowdy to the Rescue, saw him and put him on Facebook. The rest, as they say, is history. Leo is a wonderful little dog; he has recently been neutered and shaved down since he was covered in mats when he arrived. A sweater for the winter will keep him warm until his beautiful fur grows back. He has no teeth, but he enjoys his meals of canned food and kibble moistened with warm water. Leo is a love and will brighten the says of the person lucky enough to adopt him. Leo will do best in a quiet adult home. For more information on adopting Leo, please contact the Sanctuary.

Mr. Andy, a 10-year-old Chow mix, was abandoned on the streets of Cleveland and found himself in the local pound. With some help from Friend of the City of Cleveland Kennel, Mr. Andy came to the Sanctuary where he settled into his new life surrounded by love and Pugs! He can be a little grumpy with other dogs, but he adjusts and is not aggressive with them. He seems to love cats especially. Very affectionate with the people in his life, Andy would love a quiet adult home to while away the winter hours in warmth and security. If you have a place in your heart for Mr. Andy, please contact the Sanctuary to meet him.

Telli, a 10+-year-old Pomeranian mix, was abandoned on the streets of central Ohio and found by a loving family who had to surrender him to a facility when their housing association threatened to remove him. Telli is healthy, happy, and wears a beautiful smile. He will make a wonderful companion to the couple or person lucky enough to share their home with him. Telli's ideal home does not have young children or aggressive, exuberant dogs. For more information on Telli, please contact the Sanctuary.

Larry, a sweet-tempered Black Lab about 9 years old, was a favorite at an area pound. When Sanctuary volunteers met him, they immediately understood why. Larry is laid back and friendly, a typical older Lab. He will win you over in a minute and become your best friend just as quickly. He is neutered and healthy although he has some lumps and bumps that are not serious. He recently had a cyst removed from his eyelid and has recovered nicely. He has some mild arthritis that is being treated with medication; he also has a number of lumps and bumps that are all benign and need no treatment. Friendly to other dogs and to cats, Larry would love to share the couch with you and watch an old movie. If you would like more information on Larry, please contact the Sanctuary.

Nessie, an 8-10 year-old small Shepherd mix, weighs a mere 30 pounds but could stand to gain a few. She came to us from a rural Ohio pound with a nasty case of kennel cough/pneumonia. She has recovered and is in a Sanctuary foster home where she is friendly and relaxed. A victim of obvious neglect, Nessie has low vision and may suffer from past head trauma. She would love to have a home of her own where she will get the unconditional love that she deserves. She has gained weight, health, and confidence. She recently attended a local animal fair and was a real crowd pleaser. The picture on the left was taken in the shelter; the one on the right recently at an adoption event. Nessie has come a long way in a short time. Now she is just waiting for her very own home. If you would like more information on bringing Nessie into your home, please contact the Sanctuary.

Alice, a kind and gentle 10+ year-old Belgian Tervuren (possibly a mix), came to us covered in mats and dirt, smelling about as bad as a dog could possible smell. After a shave down and a bath, she looks a little like a lion with a gorgeous mane of beautiful fur on her head but nowhere else. Alice is thin but otherwise healthy. She has had geriatric bloodwork and a complete physical. A little bit shy but very curious, Alice is a loving dog and would love to be the center of attention in your home. She gets along well with friendly dogs and cats. Please contact the Sanctuary for more information on adopting Alice.

In addition to the dogs offered for adoption, the Sanctuary cares for dogs in permanent foster homes. They are not available for adoption, but you can sponsor one of them if you would like to help us with the ongoing costs of our hospice and permanent fosters. Click here to go to the Sponsor a Sanctuary Senior page. If you are interested in fostering an adoptable dog or a permanent foster dog, please contact the Sanctuary. Your work will save the life of an abandoned old dog.
