Effy & Clover
“Hey there, we’re Effy (left, female) and Clover (right, male), the dynamic duo of chihuahuas you’ve been waiting to meet! I, Clover, am the outgoing one of the pair, bursting with energy and endless affection for my humans. Treats and toys are my love language, and I’m always up for a cuddle session on your lap. My partner in crime, Effy, is a bit more laid-back, but don’t let her calm demeanor fool you – she’s a total sweetheart with a heart of gold. Effy may be blind and managing diabetes, but she takes it all in stride, spending her days enjoying leisurely naps and soaking up love. Together, we’re on the lookout for our Geezer Guardian and a cozy home to call our own. Trust us, we’re oodles of fun, so why not come say hi and see for yourself?”
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.
