Our Special Dogs

Occasionally we have some special seniors that need extra attention due to health or emotional issues. 
Thanks to our caring foster families these dogs get place for rehabilitation and the love they deserve.

If you can't adopt a greyhound, please help sponsor one of our special needs dogs to off-set the extra medical expenses. 
Thank you.

 

We can use your donation to help offset
our costs of taking care of the dogs.

Lady & Tunes will each need to stay locally. We would appreciate any donations toward their on going health care and well being. They have loving fosters and excellent health care and Senior Sanctuary is dedicated to making sure they have love and wellness as long as they live.

Angel was rescued from a killshelter after she was placed there by the children of her owner who passed away. She is 12 years old and has a chronic bladder infection, we have tested  and treated her several times to determine the cause but it seems to be an "old age "problem. she is being cared for by her foster and she is a wonderful girl who deserves to be loved and cared for and has a lot of love to give. She will be taken off the special needs list if a permanent cure is available.

 

Man In Black - "Eddie'
birth date: Sept 24 2002

le/15586 re/92E - 126 races

Eddie, black male Good with small dogs and cats, has spatial issues with humans but is very friendly.

UPDATE: Eddie is losing his sight and needs to be in a quiet place as he does not react well to quick movements and likes to be off by himself. We will make sure he has the best care possible  for him.

 Bebe is a beautiful 12 yo and was returned due to owner's health. She had some digestive issues and needs to adhere to a special diet as well as be able to be with her human most of the time. Her experience in her last home left her very much confused and needs a special someone to be with.

 

   


The Senior

The thought of our beloved Greyhounds aging is something most of us would rather not contemplate. It is a reality, however, and knowing what to expect can help us better deal with the problems and issues that might occur. These dogs have become an integral part of our families. They deserve to live out their lives in a dignified and well cared for manner, surrounded by those that they love and who love them in return.

Dental Care

Tooth and gum disease are fairly common in the older dog, and Greyhounds are no exception. Most dental procedures require a dog be anesthetized for a short period of time. Be VERY certain that your veterinarian is using a Greyhound-safe anesthetic, such as Isoflurane. Geriatric pre-surgical panels are required by most veterinarians after a dog reaches eight years of age. A standard panel will include a CBC and Urinalysis.
