Angel & Joy
“Hey, hi, hello! We’re Angel & Joy, a bonded pair of happy Lab mixes! Though we’re protective of each other, we’re incredibly people-friendly and believe we’re lap dogs despite our sizes. We’re also dog-friendly, though Joy takes a little more time to warm up to other dogs than Angel does. Going for walks is one of our favorite things and we think we’d even make great hiking buddies! You may not see it just by looking at us, though, as we are both slightly overweight and currently on a special diet – provided by OFSDS – to get us back on track and maintain our health for long, happy lives. Do you think we’d make a great addition to your home? We do! Come meet us!”
Hi, Future Geezer Guardian!
Our primary goal at OFSDS is to find lifelong placements for senior dogs where they can live the remainder of their lives as a part of a family. Most of our Old Friends that you see at the Sanctuary are available through our forever foster program.
Through sponsorships, donations, and grants, we provide medical care and basic needs to the dogs living in forever foster homes.
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!
Because our main goal is to place senior dogs in safe, lifetime homes, we do not charge any fees. For more information or to apply to be a Geezer Guardian, click here.
