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

Grady is a regal old man. At approximately 12 years old, Grady has several passions: eating, sleeping, very short walks, long car rides, and endless belly rubs. A bit slow of paw, he is not slow to demonstrate his great affection for his friends (everyone he meets immediately qualifies). Grady is the perfect senior dog: loving, forgiving, easy-going, and willing to return your love ten-fold. Currently undergoing treatment for a serious infection of his back paw, Grady is otherwise healthy. For more information on Grady, please contact the Sanctuary.

Rebel, an 8 y/o Schnauzer mix, is a healthy and feisty handsome dog who loves his people and gets along reasonably well with other submissive dogs if they are introduced carefully. Rebel came to animal control with Mr. Wombat and Luigi below when his special person could no longer care for him. He does not like to be kenneled or confined in a small space. He has been neutered and health checked and is just waiting for his very own home. For more information on Rebel, please contact the Sanctuary.

Mr. Wombat, a 10 y/o Chihuahua mix came to animal control with Rebel (above) and Luigi (below). He is a happy and cheerful dog who is guaranteed to make you smile just because he is so darned cute. If you have room in your loving home for Mr. Wombat, please contact the Sanctuary.

Luigi, a 10 y/o Chihuahua gentleman, came to animal control with Rebel and Mr. Wombat (above) when his person could no longer care for them. Luigi was frightened and shy when he first arrived at the Sanctuary, but he has relaxed tremendously and responds well to patience and love. If you have a quiet, loving home for Luigi, please contact the Sanctuary.

Jewel, an 8-10 y/o Papillion/Chihuahua mix, came to the Sanctuary when she was unclaimed in animal control, apparently frightened by July 4th neighborhood fireworks. She is a timid dog, but she does warm up to people if she is approached gently and with love. Jewel would clearly prefer to be the only dog, and she will repay your love and care tenfold. She is scheduled for eye surgery this week and will be available for adoption. For more information on Jewel, contact the Sanctuary.

Herbie, 9-10 y/o Yellow Lab mix. is very sweet and affectionate, an easy dog, but a little camera shy. Herbie came to us with a horrible infection of the prostate. As soon as the infection had responded to antibiotics, he was neutered, and his condition improved dramatically. Since then, his health is improving every day. The life he endured before he came to us is only too evident from the scars on his face, but he is a sweet, sad, old Yellow Lab mix who enjoys walks, petting, and cuddling. He rides quietly in the car, nuzzling your hand every now and then to encourage a pet on the head. Herbie needs to know unconditional love so that his eyes can light up with joy and happiness. He will make a devoted and faithful companion to the person who will spend some time to show Herbie what it means to be secure, comfortable, and loved. If you have a place in your quiet home for Herbie, please contact the Sanctuary.

Maxx, 8-10 y/o Pomeranian. Found as a stray in rural central Ohio, Maxx looks quite handsome after grooming to remove huge, tangled mats. he is a healthy, happy boy who gets along well with cats and other dogs. He is also very affectionate with everyone he meets. He will make a fine companion to a person with time to spend with him. For more information on Maxx, please contact the Sanctuary.

Rolo, an 8-10 y/o Miniature Pinscher, is a happy fellow now that he has found safety in a Sanctuary foster home. Found as a stray by animal control,. Rolo was frightened and alone. He is healthy and well-adjusted and just waiting for a home to call his own. If you have room in your heart for Rolo, please contact the Sanctuary.

Eleanor, a 7-8 y/o, beautiful, friendly, energetic--if somewhat overweight--Black Lab, has personality to spare. She loves to interact with people and other friendly dogs. She seems to know a few very basic commands; her enthusiasm causes her to pull on the leash, but she responds well to direction and training. Eleanor will make a wonderful addition to a family that will commit to helping her shed a few unwanted pounds by regular exercise and a quality diet. If you would like to add Eleanor to your home, please contact the Sanctuary.

Carlos, 8 y/o Black Lab, is a healthy, friendly, neutered male. He responds well to direction, and enjoys the company of people and other animals. Carlos was picked up by a local animal control, and he is eagerly awaiting an active home filled with love. If you would like to learn more about Carlos, please contact the Sanctuary.

Joey, 6-7 y/o Toy Fox Terrier/Chihuahua, is an 11 pound little sweetheart. He is affectionate and friendly once he knows you. Joey is neutered and healthy with the exception of a heart murmur that does not seem to affect him currently. He loves to walk and to sit on a warm lap. He will make a fine friend to the family lucky enough to adopt him. If you would like to invite Joey into your loving home, please contact the Sanctuary.

Neal, 8-year-old Golden Retriever mix, just arrived in our care the last week of February. Neal came to animal control with so many mats that he could not walk; his back legs were attached by a large mat. He has been shaved down and had his medical needs met. He is healthy and ready for a great new home. Neal has loads of spirit and is a very friendly, affectionate, attentive dog. He will make an excellent companion in an adult home. Neal loves to walk, and he loves treats and car rides. If you have a place in your home for Neal, please contact the Sanctuary. Neal has an adoption pending.

Baker, Chocolate Lab, 9-10 y/o distinguished gentleman, handsome with a gray muzzle. Neutered and exceptionally friendly. Lots of Labbie personality, loves to play and walk. He would love to be your new best friend. Baker is house trained and knows several basic commands. He is a sweet-natured dog who would be a good candidate for the therapy dog program. For more information on Baker, please contact the Sanctuary.

Little Lulu, 8-10 y/o Min Pin, spayed female, spent 10 days in animal control, but her family never came for her. She is friendly to everyone: cats, dogs, people. During her stay at the vet clinic, Lulu was spotted playing with a Pit Bull puppy who was recovering from eye surgery. Healthy, friendly, and sweet-natured, Lulu will bring happiness and love to your home. For more information on Little Lulu, please contact the Sanctuary. Lulu has an adoption pending.

Mackey, an 8-year-old mostly Black Lab, came to us from a very overcrowded rural shelter where he was surrendered by a family who could no longer care for him. Mackey is healthy and happy with a very good appetite. In the middle picture, his eyes were on a plate of chicken our vet had just cooked for him. With lots of energy, Mackey is very playful and attentive. He seems to have been well-trained at one point and responds to basic commands. Friendly with people and female dogs, Mackey loves to be the center of attention and would do best in an active, adult household with lots of daily exercise and play. If you have a special spot in your home for Mackey, please contact the Sanctuary.
