Lucy & Jake need an adopter! https://silverliningsrescue.org/jake-and-lucy/

Jake & Lucy might technically be senior siblings, but they love running around their fosters backyard and going for walks! The foster says: They are wonderful dogs, full of energy and love!

Interested in meeting them? Contact us to set something up! A home with a fenced in yard would be ideal so they can continue to run free!!

UPDATE. WE GOT AN EXTENSION FOR HIM! US SHARING HELPED. I MAY HAVE A LEAD FOR A HOME FOR THIS SWEET BOY. WILL UPDATE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS KAT

Well, I have loved my life and my Dad. We had great adventures every week. He was proud of me and said I was a fast learner. I can walk on a leash and was potty trained. But since coming to the shelter my outside time is limited, but I'd try never to have an accident. My dad and staff here always took me to the vet and I'm fully vaccinated and heartworm negative. My favorite thing to do is be with my people, but I seem to have misplaced them! My dad hugged me and said he loved me but had to move to where old folks live and couldn't bring me with him. I stand front and center every day looking for him to come get me, but now they say my time is up. Another dog needs my space. My favorite worker here who sneaks me bacon said tue and Thursday is days they euthanize us. She's praying for Thursday, in case I find a hero. But because I'm a staff favorite here, they extended this once, so I may have to walk into that room I never see dogs walk out of. I hope, whatever happens, it doesn't hurt and my staff friend stays with me.
A human named Kathy said she's trying to help me, and I've never met her. She said if anyone can foster me to give her time to find a new home or try me to see if I fit into yours, she will drive up and pull me. I'm not sure where she's pulling to, but it sounds like fun!
I've been good with big dogs here, would love to chase those cats in the cat room but I was told no to homes with cats and small dogs. I think I'd be ok with the little dogs, but Kathy thinks I'd not be able to tell them apart! That's silly, everyone know little dogs don't use litter boxes!! Ruff, Ruff,Ruff!
Anyway, Kathy said i should tell my story, maybe we have a superhero out there. If not, thanks for reading and say a prayer for me about 4p if that's my day (I'm told it is) but maybe....after that you will find me at the rainbow bridge waiting on my Dad to come!!
(If anyone can help, please let me [Kathy george] or silver linings rescue know asap. I know all senior rescues are trying to save him. No cats, small dogs and from kennel stress. If he could be only pet or someone experienced in introduction of large breeds into same home, that would be awesome.

S*x Education 101! 💯

1. Animals that are not fixed CAN have babies…

2. It’s NOT an “accident” if your dog is NOT fixed…

3. Fixing your animals fixes the problem 😊

Zach landed in a perfect home with a new brother to show him the ropes! Thank you to everyone that offered to help him! This little dog was facing BIG changes that would have left him alone in his own home without his mom, she left for assisted living the very same day we were contacted. Of course he wasn't going to be all alone, the family was going to come by twice a day to feed and let him outside. Although this wasn't ideal, it was the best they could do given all their circumstances.

Thanks to our supporters and followers, Zach didn't have to spend a single night alone. Last night, he slept in bed with his new family!

Thanks to Lynne Foster Shifriss for adopting Zach before you even met him. It's people like you that renew my faith in humanity ❤️💜❤️

Curly Bill is doing great with his new mom, Dee. He even has a sister named Trixie that's showing him the ropes around his new abode!! He can see well, but his hearing's not so good.

Thank you to everyone that supported this guys care while we worked on finding him a forever home! We appreciate it more than you know.

WE HAVE PLACED ZACH IN A HOME! Thanks to everyone that reached out, we have placed him in a home.

Zach is a 12 year old Morkie whose mom is going into a nursing home today or tomorrow. He's UTD on vaccines, neutered and has lived his life indoors. He's healthy aside from a heart murmur, which is not unusual for a dog of his age. Zach has lived with dogs before, most recently 4 of them and he was okay with all of them, including a large lab. As for cats, the neighbor cat comes over and he doesn't chase them, but we have no idea how he would do in a home with a cat. He's a barker, but it's all talk and will bark when a stranger comes over, but is quiet when he knows the visitor. He has shown no aggression to children, but they respected his space.

This is urgent because the house he's living in is about to be sold and his mom has put off going to a nursing home because of him. Let's ensure Zach has a soft place to land and his mom can go confidently into the care she needs without worrying about her baby. She's had him since he was a puppy and is concerned about his care!

Poppy was living with his mom until she was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma and had to be hospitalized. She tasked one of her daughters with watching Poppy, but for some reason unknown to any of us, she ended up taking him to a shelter where she lived. When her other daughter inquired about Poppy and found out what happened, she immediately went to the shelter to bail the little guy out! If it wasn't for her, who knows what would have become of Poppy, but we think he probably would have gotten adopted.

His mom should be returning home in a month or two and she would have been devastated to learn that her one and only dog had been adopted out! Aside from that, 10 year old Poppy did NOT tolerate shelter life well. He went from 12 lbs to 7 in a matter of weeks. You can't take a senior dog out of a home environment and expect them to be okay! Especially a dog who has lived with the same person for their entire life. How someone could be so heartless is beyond us.

Anyway, we decided to take this guy in because how could we deny him and his human? Life isn't fair and since most of us feel the world is going to hell in a hand basket if we can make a difference in just one persons (and their dogs) life, then all the better.

Poppy's not up for adoption and the plan as of now is to get him back to him mom when she gets home and is able to care for him.

We'd like to raise a couple of hundred for his care while his mom heals. The family has given us $150 to offset the cost of his vet visit, but we learned that like most senior Chi's, he is having kidney problems. We're hoping with a diet and a stable living environment, it can be managed. We know we can't turn back time, but we can promise Poppy and his mom that we will take the best care of him until she is able to resume her duties as his person.

If you can pitch in for Poppy, we sure would appreciate it! Any amount helps!

It's true!

Age doesn't change how much we love them.

And don't forget to spend quality time with your aging dog by engaging in gentle play and sharing frequent snuggles. Take walks down familiar paths to spark happy memories and offer special treats to show your love. Create a relaxing routine with calming music and enjoy grooming sessions for bonding. Capture cute moments with photos while keeping up with regular vet visits to ensure their comfort. Allow them to explore new smells during walks to keep their spirit alive. Most importantly, talk to them softly, just like when they were puppies. Every little moment counts!

This is the face of a dog that knows she's got a great forever home! Esma fell in love with Dusty's face as soon as she saw her photo and I told her we all had the same reaction. But it doesn't stop there! She's got a great personality to match her beautiful silver muzzle!

The sad truth is puppy mills are just that, mills that churn out puppies at a great expense to the parents.

So you aren't crazy after all!

Talking to your pet as if they’re human might seem odd to some, but many of us do…
