9/19/23: The Willemain’s have decided to give this old guy a home.  I’m going to live out my days being loved and getting all the pets I could ever want if that is possible.  I have settled in, met all the neighbors and they love me.  Jim and I go for a walk every day and he really enjoys having a walking buddy.  I am so relaxed and content here and even started to play with my stuffed toys. I am so very happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8/7/23:  Hello folks, my name is Sammy and I am a senior fellow at 11 years old.  My folks felt like I wasn’t getting enough attention so I came into the rescue to find another home.  I’m a sweet, loving kid of guy that is housetrained and rarely ever bark.  I enjoy going for leisurely walks and good on rides in the car.  I would really like to be the only dog but I don’t mind cats.  I’m in good health and have been well cared for.  I just need someone to love me while I live out my days.

The rescue realizes it is hard to take in a senior and love them as if they be with you forever.  These seniors are suddenly without the home they have always known and need a friend to give them a place to live out their senior years.  The seniors are like puppies without all the bad habits and always doing things to make you laugh.  The rescue will pay for all approved medical cost and all you have to do is love them.  We do still require a fenced yard, vet check and home visit.  Most of the seniors cannot do many steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9/8/23:  Jim  came to take me home today and already has so many supplies for me.  I have a seatbelt in the car to keep me safe and I didn’t mind it at all.  Once here we went for a great walk together and then I played with my new toys.  I think I am the happiest boy ever.

 

 

8/22/23:  Just look at me gaining weight and my coat is starting to grow.  I’m a sweet, little fellow that is very easy to train because I will do anything for food.  I will run right to my crate and wait for treats or dinner.  I’m doing great on leash walking and basic commands.  I’m doing pretty good at riding in the car too.  I love toys and learning to play fetch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7/12/23:  My people took me to the animal shelter emaciated and covered in fleas.  I’m a loving, little fellow at 40 pounds and the rescue folks are guessing me to be about 1 ½ years old.  There is plenty of food here and I need to gain at least five pounds.   I have had no accidents in the house and crate trained.  I am learning basic commands and leash walking.  I get along great with the other dogs but don’t want the others getting near my food bowl.  It is a survival instinct and hoping that will stop when I realize the food is going to keep coming.  This good life is all new to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8/31/23:  I am happy to have joined the Hoffer Family.  They have been missing their collie that passed.  I am so glad they have picked me to fill that spot in their hearts.  I receive all the attention I could ever want and already so much loved.  I picked me a spot out on the couch and love my new home and family.

 

 

 

8/22/23:  Well it turned out that I had heartworms and was treated to get rid of those.  I got a beauty treatment at the groomer and I was a perfect gentleman.  I am housetrained, crate trained and do great walking on the leash.  I’m good with the other dogs as long as they aren’t bossy and don’t mind the cat.  I enjoy being pet and have my belly rubbed.
