Our Mission

No animal should die in a shelter.

Our mission is to provide love and comfort to senior dogs that have been displaced due to the death or illness of their owner, being dumped into a shelter, or by an owner who can no longer handle the extra care a senior may need. We are determined to offer them love, emotional and medical support until they've exhausted their quality of life on this earth and are ready to "cross the bridge."

The farm is the dream of Karl and Jeanne Strack, purchased July 2, 2005. The Senior Scenter dog house opened November 7, 2014.
