We depend completely on donated time and donated funds to execute our programs and work to the goal of eventually having The Sanctuary built and operating.

Presently, the “active” program called A Home for Every Aging Heart requiring people “in the field” is the senior dog rescue/senior placement program.

• We collect and transport the dog – usually to a foster home.
  

• A process to evaluate health and behavior issues begins with visit to a vet clinic – and possible ongoing therapies and treatments.
  

• We seek people who will adopt – we visit with them at their home and obtain a completed application.
  

• We arrange for meeting with the dog – and transport to the new home.
  

• On that happy day, we visit briefly to assist in adjustment.
  

• Ongoing, we help as may be needed, including assistance with bathing, exercise, behavior issues, health and nutrition advice, and liaison (transport maybe – again) with a vet’s office.
  

• Over the dog’s life, we follow up to offer help if needed and observe that the forever home is what everyone hoped for.

This work – rewarding and interesting – is done by people who love dogs and want to help – volunteers.

We need committed support from volunteers: a few hours a month to help in the rescue process; the assessment and interim care period (foster homes are key); and the placement and follow-up.
