Bugsy
“Hi, my name is Bugsy! I’m a small (16 lbs) bichon frise mix. I can be pretty opinionated and standoff-ish at first. It’s important that you respect my boundaries when I am not fully comfortable with you. Once I trust you, I become the silliest, most cuddly dog you’ve ever met! I just need patience. Here are some other facts about me:
Dog friendly (I do not like dogs in my space when I am laying down or with my human)✔
Potty trained (but I will potty inside if you do not take me outside)✔
Older kid friendly (12+)✔
Love walks ✔
Love attention and cuddles(once I get to know you)✔
If I sound like a good fit, 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.
