Volunteering with ElderDog is a great way to meet new people AND their dogs all while giving back to the community.

“ElderDog Canada gives me the opportunity to interact with both dogs and humans...what a great combination!

We don't have a pet of our own so we love to be able to get our dog "fix". As an added benefit we also get to meet some lovely seniors in our community. Clients are so appreciative of the ElderDog volunteers as it allows them to keep their furry friends with them as long as possible.”

Fosters play an important role at ElderDog Canada by providing safe and loving temporary homes for dogs during times of transition.

Instances that may bring a dog into foster with ElderDog include their owner being hospitalized or moved to a non-pet friendly residence or long term care facility. We are so grateful for incredible fosters
like Brenda, who open their hearts and homes to dogs in need!

"A friend introduced me to the ElderDog organization a little over two years ago. At first I didn’t really know how best to contribute to
supporting the cause, however; it didn’t take long to figure out that
fostering was my “niche”.

I’ve been blessed to care for, and spend time with, Beamer, Kiki,
Missym Daisy, Abby, Zack, Wally, and Brody. It really was a privilege
to offer a soft place to land for those sweet pups as they
transitioned from their former companions to their next forever home.

Building trust and respect with each of them was a journey I was happy to take. Although it was often difficult to hand them over to the care of their new companions, I was so happy they found a new family to call their own. My experience fostering for ElderDog has been so very positive and I will continue as long as they will have me."

Adoption Opportunity - Sophie is located in Calgary.

Sweet Sophie is still looking for a family to love, preferably one that has no cats. Located in Calgary, here is a repost of what we have shared about this wonderful girl: please reach out to Janet at [email protected] to learn more!

While the people at ElderDog Calgary, all my fosters and new fur friends have been amazing, it's really time for me to find a home of my own with people of my own that I can share my love with.
What can I tell you about me that you don't already know? First, I've been told my photos don't do me justice! When you meet me, you will just want to pinch me, but I prefer hugs. I am about 9 years old, but don't let my age fool you! I can be active and agile or I can be the best snuggle bug ever! I like to be with my people but I will respect the boundaries you give me. I am very obedient and a quick learner. I am quiet until Amazon stops by or you come home, but then I am quiet again. My bark means business, so a cat-free, detached home may be best for me.
I am not used to being on my own for long periods of time, but I am okay for a while, as long as I have something snuggly and soft to lay on. I eat well and I love celery!
I like my walks, and once I do my business I walk quite well, not too much phases me. I am a sniffer! Oh - and if you are a fair weather walker, that is ok with me. I don't like the cold too much. I have very short hair so my grooming needs are small and I really don't shed. I have the softest belly, so giving me belly rubs will be a pleasant experience for you!! My tail has three speeds - off, high and supercharged. When you talk to me it makes me happy and my tail will show you how much.
My eyes are sad, but my heart is full!! My goal in life will be to make you proud of me and shower you with love and kisses. There is so much to learn about me, so email Janet at [email protected] and see if we might be that perfect fit.

🐾 Happy Testimonial Tuesday! 🐾

Today we hear how Stan and his canine companion, Freya, are assisted through our Dog Care Support for Seniors Program.

"The ElderDog volunteers are my caregiving family that look after my dog, Freya. The volunteers check her all over, let me know if something is different in her walks, recommend a Vet appointment when needed, contact Freya’s Vet, and take her there. They pick up dog food for me, bathe Freya and groom her. All of this on top of all the walks they take Freya on! These are things I cannot do and I greatly appreciate this service that ElderDog provides. Freya has the best volunteers and we are so fortunate to have them. Thank you."
