Enrique
“Hi there! My name is Enrique, but my loving caretakers call me ‘Rico Suave.’ I’m a sweet and spicy terrier mix. I bond best with women, though I can warm up to men with time and patience. I’m very protective of the ladies in my life. Beneath my tough exterior, I’m a romantic who loves to gaze into your eyes and give the best kisses ever! I’m obsessed with my toys and love playing fetch. I’m great with other dogs and wouldn’t mind a sibling, but I’m also happy being the star of the show. I’m searching for the paw-fect person(s) to shower with all my loyalty and love. If you think we’d make a great match, come by and meet me!”
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.
