Some Happy Endings for Older Dogs

Old Dog Haven in Western Washington is a nonprofit group that uses a large network of people to provide loving and safe homes for abandoned senior dogs. They provide temporary foster care for dogs that are adoptable and have a reasonable life expectancy. They also provide permanent final refuge care for dogs that are too old for adoption, maybe in their last months or years or in fragile health. Their goal is that their last months and years are happy and they die safe and at peace, knowing they are loved. Old Dog Haven is not a shelter. All of the dogs live happily in homes with foster and final refuge families who love and cherish them as valued family members. "All too many dogs of advanced years find themselves terrified and confused at shelters, where their chances fo being adopted are almost zero. Others are desperate for a home because The family is moving and can't take the dog, owners work too long hours; a new baby; the dogs companion is moved to a nursing home or is deceased.
