Ares
“Hi, I’m Ares, a handsome Lab mix! I’m a sweet and laid-back guy who also enjoys being active, exploring, and loving on people! One of the things I’m known for is my, shall we say, strange bark – my caretakers describe it as ‘goblinish,’ but I’m really not sure what that means; it’s just my voice! I’m also known for circling you like a cat when I want attention, and then standing between your legs for butt scritches and stompies. If I do say so myself, it’s REALLY CUTE. I’m looking for a Geezer Guardian who will appreciate my quirks and love me for who I am – a perfect boy! Could that be you? Let’s meet!”

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.
