The Senior Scenter

A forever home for rescued senior dogs.

Support a Senior Dog
Our Story

Every senior deserves a soft place to land.

So many senior pets are dumped at shelters. Once well-loved family companions, they are now of no "use" to their owners — too old, too feeble, or just too much trouble. In some cases, the owners have passed away or are too ill to care for their beloved pets, and have no other choice than to give them up.

Our mission is to provide love and comfort to senior dogs that have been displaced due to death or illness of an owner, being dumped into a shelter, or by an owner who can no longer handle the extra care a senior may need. No animal should die in a shelter — and more so, in many cases, a blind or deaf senior. 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."
