Lucy
“Oh, hi! My name is Lucy, and I’m a charming Pit mix with a loving personality! I’ve never met a stranger and have been told that I’m easy to fall in love with – probably because I’ll climb into your lap and seal the deal with plenty of kisses, ha! I’m dog-friendly and playful (I LOVE toys!), but – even though I have a lot of energy – it can be short-lived. I do have a tumor on my bladder which makes me have to tinkle quite a bit, BUT I always ask to go outside to potty; the tumor is being monitored and addressed by our top-notch medical team, so paws crossed it is just temporary! I’d love to find my forever home with one or many humans (and maybe a canine sibling or two)… would you care to 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.
