Spirit's Story

**Meet Spirit! **<br/><br/>Spirit is a beautiful senior Husky mix estimated to be around 12-14 years old, and she has truly mastered the art of taking life one peaceful day at a time.<br/><br/>She's a calm, gentle girl who enjoys doing her own thing and is happiest when she has a little space to relax. While she gets along just fine with other dogs, she's not one for cuddling up with them—she'd rather share a home than a bed.<br/><br/>Don't let her age fool you, though! Spirit still has plenty of life left in her, and every now and then she surprises everyone with the cutest little zoomies. Watching her happily trot around is guaranteed to make you smile.<br/><br/>To help her feel her best, Spirit receives physical therapy, including water treadmill sessions and laser therapy, which help keep her comfortable and moving well. She takes it all in stride and continues to enjoy each day with her sweet, easygoing attitude.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a gentle companion who asks for very little besides kindness, a cozy place to rest, and the freedom to be herself, Spirit could be the perfect addition to your family. She's proof that senior dogs still have so much love—and a few joyful zoomies—to share.<br/><br/>All potential Forever Fosters must reside within 100 miles of Mt Juliet, TN. All Forever Fosters dogs receive medical care at our facility at no cost to the foster. To fill out a Forever Foster application, please visit our website at ofsds.org

Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Aside from providing high-quality vet care, food, and compassion to senior dogs who come through our doors, our primary goal at Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is to find lifelong placements for our Old Friends where they can live the remainder of their lives as part of a family. Most of the Old Friends you see at The PAWvillions are available for Forever Fostering and are seeking their Geezer Guardian(s). The dogs we bring into our program are those who are deemed nearly or fully “unadoptable” due to age and/or disability, but who are still able to enjoy the remainder of their senior years with a good quality of life. While this amount of time may range from weeks to months to years, we aim to provide the best quality of life possible for our Old Friends during that time through loving homes, high-quality vetting and medication, and great food. Through sponsorships, donations, and grants, we provide and cover the cost of medical care, including prescription medications, and basic needs (ex. preventatives) to the dogs living with Geezer Guardians. Unless there are unusual food requirements, such as a prescription diet, or other arrangements are made, we do however ask that the Geezer Guardian provide food for their Geezer. OFSDS will recommend brands and types of food which are considered high-quality. Being a Geezer Guardian to an Old Friend is different than fostering for other rescues in that we hope that our Guardians will be forever homes for the remainder of their Geezer’s life. Geezer Guardians must be within 100 miles of Mt. Juliet, TN, as we expect our Old Friends to continue seeing our in-house veterinarian. If you live outside our 100-mile radius and would like to adopt a senior dog, we recommend contacting your local shelter as there are many senior dogs in need of loving retirement homes. You may also consider sponsoring an Old Friend by clicking “Sponsor” on that Old Friend’s profile page! After applying to be a Geezer Guardian, you will be contacted by phone by our Foster Program Manager. After a short discussion about the type of senior dog you’re looking for, a virtual home visit will be arranged. After your virtual home visit, our Forever Foster Committee, comprised of directors and managers, will meet to discuss your application. Once a Geezer Guardian is approved, we will help you find the perfect Geezer for your home. Because our main goal is to place senior dogs in safe, lifetime placements, we do not charge any fees to become a Geezer Guardian. The following are requirements for becoming a Geezer Guardian: 1. Your Geezer must be kept as an inside dog and as a loved member of the family. 2. Geezer Guardians must be willing to provide the time, environment, and attention necessary for the needs of a senior dog. There may be issues to contend with such as medication schedules, mobility problems, poor sight and/or hearing, and occasional disorientation. These things will be discussed during the application process and then again for a specific dog at the time of placement. 3. Geezer Guardians must live within 100 miles of Mt. Juliet, TN. For a map of our approximate foster area, click here. 4. Prior to approving a Geezer Guardian, we will require a virtual home visit and veterinary reference. In lieu of a veterinarian reference, we may require another professional reference. 5. All other dogs who reside in the forever foster home must be spayed or neutered unless there are veterinarian recommended reasons for not doing so. All pets in the house must be up to date on recommended shots and preventatives.
