Cooper
“Hi there! My name is Cooper. I didn’t come from the greatest situation. I was found in an abandoned lot where it’s believed I lived for the majority of my life, and it took multiple people to catch me. When I first came to Old Friends, I was super shut down and afraid of everything. The past few months, I have really come out of my shell and have become comfortable with quite a few people. So now, Old Friends believes I’m ready to go home! Here are some facts about me:
I will need a yard and someone who is able to handle a skittish, fearful dog ✔
Dog Friendly ✔
Older kid friendly (12+) ✔
People friendly ✔
Active ✔
Love toys ✔
Anxious (I will take longer to settle in new environments)
If I check all of your boxes, 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.
