Workshop for Starting, Growing, & Operating a Senior Dog Sanctuary (September 2023)
Description
This 3-day workshop will cover most aspects of starting, growing, and operating a senior dog sanctuary from the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary point of view. We will discuss, in an open forum format, what we do, our learning experiences, how we evolved from rescuing senior dogs in our home to a full-scale senior dog rescue, and how you can apply these when starting your own senior dog sanctuary. There will also be hands-on time with the Old Friends who live at The PAWvillions.

Our Mission
- To provide a loving home, good food, high quality vet care, compassion, and comfort to senior dogs for the remainder of their lives.
- To build a Forever Foster Home network to enable us to place more senior dogs in loving home settings for the duration of their lives.
- To provide education on the joys and challenges of caring for aging dogs.
- To work with other dog rescue groups to promote the adoption of senior dogs.
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is a Forever Foster Home based Sanctuary in beautiful Mount Juliet, Tennessee, generally housing approximately 120 senior dogs at the Sanctuary and others in temporary and Forever Foster Homes. While providing lifetime homes for senior dogs, OFSDS strives to raise awareness of the joys and challenges of living with older dogs. We are a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization.
We do not concern ourselves with the quantity of time that they have left, rather the quality of the life that we can provide them for that time.
