OUR SENIOR PETS

Looking for a Guardian Angel

Maggie

Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m 9 years old and a gentle, loving soul. I enjoy peaceful strolls, lounging in sunny spots, and being by your side for quiet moments. With my sweet nature, I’m here to bring warmth and joy to every day we share.

Minnis

Hi, I’m Minnis! I’m 10 years old and full of love and charm. I enjoy slow walks, cozy naps, and all the belly rubs you can offer. My gentle spirit and loyal heart make me the perfect companion for someone who loves sweet, quiet moments.

Mason

Hi, I’m Mason! I’m 10 years old and full of heart. I love exploring the yard, making friends, and sharing my cheerful energy. After a day of fun, I’m all about curling up for snuggles and soaking in all the love you have to give.

Coraline

This tiny but mighty 8-year-old Miniature Pinscher mix came to us with Lucy, an 11-year-old dachshund.  Their precious elderly owner could no longer care for them at her assisted living facility. Coraline took a while to warm up to us and would let out a high-pitched scream if we even touched her.  She now loves to lay on her back while the volunteers rub her belly. She occasionally likes to scold the big dogs for invading her space and they typically ignore her reprimand. She "talks" a lot and loves to stand up on her hind legs. Coraline is high energy and enjoys running around outdoors, especially on our hikes in the woods. She attempts to get the others to "turn it up a notch" but moves on to the next pup if they lack interest in her shenanigans. Coraline is looking for a Guardian Angel (forever foster) to have a human and a home of her own. She is full of personality and makes us laugh on a regular basis.

Lucy

Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m 8 years old and a bundle of love with a playful streak. I adore chasing toys, making new friends, and curling up for cuddles after a fun-filled day. I’m loyal, affectionate, and always ready to brighten your day!

Sandy

Hi, I’m Sandy! I’m 9 years old and a bundle of joy. I love gentle walks, belly rubs, and spending time with my favorite people. My friendly and affectionate nature makes every moment with me a little brighter!

Living with Guardian Angels

Hi, I’m Buddy! I’m 11 years old and a playful charmer. I love wagging my tail through every new adventure, whether it’s a game of fetch or exploring the yard. When I’m not busy, you’ll find me snuggled up, enjoying belly rubs and being your loyal best friend.

Emmy

Hi, I’m Emmy! I’m 10 years old and a total sweetheart. I adore gentle pets, lazy afternoons, and curling up in cozy spots. I have a calm and loving nature, and my favorite place to be is right by your side, making every moment a little brighter.

Sanctuary Residents

Annie

This beautiful long-haired 12-year-old furry friend is a bundle of contradictions. With a shiny black coat and a sparkle in her eye, she is equal parts bashful and spunky.

One moment, she'll be hiding behind her favorite human in a picture of canine shyness or hiding out in the garden. But the next, she'll be bounding forward, tail wagging wildly, and a playful growl rumbling in the back of her throat.

Despite her bashful nature, this furry friend has a hidden streak of spunkiness that can't be denied. She'll chase after the other dogs with reckless abandon, leap over obstacles with surprising agility, and snuggle up in her favorite spot on the couch with a contented sigh that says, "This is my space, and I'm here to stay!"

Annie came to Sweet Dreams as part of a "family" of 4 dogs when her elderly owner moved into an assisted living facility and was unable to take the dogs with him. She suffered from some separation anxiety when she first came to the sanctuary but now has blossomed into a beautiful, loving dog that will live out her days as a sanctuary resident.

Belle

This 12-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) is a unique blend of goofy charm and aloof independence. Her coat is a beautiful mosaic of liver and white, with distinctive freckles and patches that give her a perpetually endearing expression.  On the side of this sweet pup, a distinctive heart-shaped patch stands out as a beacon of affection. This charming marking is a beautiful reminder of the love and devotion that Belle embodies. 

But don't let her rugged good looks fool you - this GSP is a bit of an oddball. She has a goofy streak a mile wide, and is prone to sudden, inexplicable bursts of energy that send her bounding around the room like a rubber ball. One moment she is lounging calmly, the next she is leaping over furniture, tail wagging wildly, and ears flapping in the wind.

Sadly, Belle is battling some health issues and has slowed down quite a bit in the past several months. She is being closely monitored by our veterinarian team and receives lots of extra love and attention from all of the volunteers. One of her favorite ways to spend the afternoon is to nap in the sunshine. Belle is the first dog to join the Sweet Dreams family and will forever be known as the original dreamer.  She will be living out the rest of her days at the sanctuary.

Canelo

This little bundle of dachshund and chihuahua mix will be turning 20 soon.  Canelo came to live at the sanctuary when his sweet elderly owner could no longer care for him.  He is one of the smallest of the pack but what he lacks in size, he makes up for in spunkiness.  We call him Skippy sometimes as he skips in excitement when he is coming in for dinner or treats.  When he first came to live at the sanctuary in March of 2024, he was fairly lethargic and slept a lot of the time.  He still enjoys his naps, but life changed dramatically once the "golden girls" moved in. The golden girls include Lucy, Coraline, and Ginger, and these beautiful ladies sparked Canelo's interest, and he has never been the same.  "Rico Suave" is a permanent resident of the sanctuary and is looking forward to one heck of a birthday bash!

Daisy

Hi, I’m Daisy! I’m 9 years old and a ray of sunshine. I love sniffing flowers, wagging my tail on walks, and soaking up all the love you can give. When I’m not exploring, I’m content to nap nearby and keep you company with my sweet, gentle nature.

Pearl

Hi, I’m Pearl! I’m 11 years old and a true sweetheart. I love lounging in sunny spots, gentle strolls, and snuggling up for quiet evenings. My calm, loving nature makes me the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and gentle friend.
