Sunflower
“Greetings! I’m Sunflower, a sweet old gal who gets along quite well with people! I’ll co-exist with other dogs, but would prefer to be a single dog as I don’t enjoy having my space crowded by others. I enjoy nice, slow walks (thanks to my arthritis), sitting outside, sniffing through the grass, and napping. It’s rare, but on occasion I’ll even enjoy playing with toys. I’m hoping to find a human companion who complements my introverted self and is willing to open their heart and home to me in my old age. Could that be you? 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.
