Bernie
“Howdy! Bernie’s the name, and being an all-around sweetheart is my game. I’m proud to say I’m a hit with both people and pups—I’m just that charming! Playing with toys and going for walks? Count me in! They get my tail waggin’ like crazy! And when the sun’s out, you’ll find me basking in the yard like a pro sunbather. But my ultimate talent? Cuddling, hands down. I’m a pro at it! Sure, I’ve got some heart issues, but that doesn’t put a damper on my sunny disposition. I’m on the lookout for my forever Geezer Guardian, and I hope you’ll swing by to meet me and maybe even become my lifelong companion!”
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.
