Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rehome.​

Our Mission: Providing  a safe haven for senior dogs who cannot be cared for by their owners, are abandoned or abused, or  face euthanasia.

Sanctuary by the Numbers

Life at the Sanctuary

Our sanctuary has provided a safe, loving home for over 900 dogs since 2016. Our staff and volunteers supply residents with expert-level care and rehabilitation until they are adopted. We also provide long-term homes to seniors who aren’t currently adoptable.
