Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary

[Catherine]

Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary takes in dogs at the end of their lives and gives them a final home. It is not a shelter with cages, it is a home where they can live in peace for the time they have left. Dogs come to the sanctuary for various reasons. Often an owner has died or had to go to a nursing home. Some were actually abandoned in their final years.
The idea of the sanctuary was born when the founder's father died of cancer. He left behind and older Doberman. She was unable to take him at the time. Fortunately a home was found where he could live out the last 18 months of his life.
The situation inspired her to create a place so other dogs could receive end of life care.
Now it is a thriving sanctuary with over 60 dogs. Some are there for a few years and some only have a few months. All live a happy life and know they are loved to the end.

This is a beautiful idea. Sometimes pets just need somewhere to go for their final days. It would be the saddest thing for an elderly beloved pet to end its days in a cage because its owner died and there is no one to care for it.  It would bring peace of mind to a dying pet owner to know someone is able to take their pet.
Abandoned elderly pets should not have to adjust to shelter life. They deserve a loving home. All dogs deserve to live in a loving home for their final days.
In every way Whispering Willows is a beautiful thing.
