About Us
How We're Helping
We are a nonprofit organization focused on responsibly rescuing hospice senior dogs from high kill shelters across the United States. We primarily have one main rescue sanctuary home, located in Chillicothe Oh. We also have a couple wonderful and dedicated foster homes for some of our hospice dogs in this area. We are always actively seeking local to Chillicothe Ohio, foster help to take in one of our hospice dogs.
Most of our rescues are medically challenged, special needs, or hospice rescues. We provide full medical and comfort care, in an indoor home environment, where they are safe, secure, and treated like family members.
We use North Fork Animal Clinic located in Chillicothe Ohio for all medical needs of our rescues. Which is why we need local foster homes in this area. We have built a very caring and honest relationship with the entire staff, and they have treated over 100 of our seniors with compassion and love,as well as expert care.
Our mission is a costly one, both financially and emotionally. But to experience the truest and most honest love of a senior dog, is worth the emotional price we pay when it's time to help them to a better world of no pain and struggling.

Our rescue had its' beginnings in 2014. Like most rescues, we would rescue dogs in high kill shelters, fix up their medical issues, get them healthy and restored, then find the very best home possible for them.
That all changed in 2016, when a dog we named Stuey, changed the path and focus of our rescue, and we dedicated ourselves to senior hospice dogs. Dogs so broken, so neglected and abused, that just needed all we could do for them. Brief moments of happiness and joy were worth the inevitable pain of eventually losing these dogs to issues beyond medical intervention.
Stuey was such a dog. A skeleton, so neglected his mind was broken, yet so beautiful and gentle, he became the reason for us from that day on. Now we rescue the most broken dogs and give them medical care, happiness, love, soft beds, indoor sanctuary, for the remainder of their lives, whether it be weeks, months, and even years in some cases.
It's a huge undertaking. There are no adoption fees helping with costs. We constantly fundraise to maintain the vet/food/transport and all other rescue expenses.
Thanks to our wonderful friends and supporters, we are able to help as many as we responsibly can. The reward is the love and happiness of a senior, who otherwise would have died alone, scared, and in pain, in a sterile shelter environment.
