I want to take a minute to wish our fearless leader very happy birthday!

Tonya wanted to use her birthday notoriety to highlight this local volunteer opportunity. Because she is wonderful and selfless like that.

Having a pet like a dog is so amazing for mental health, especially in seniors. But animals come with responsibility and need walks for their mental and physical health, and that’s where you come in! If you’re interested in taking a dog along on your walk, contact this local charity “ elderdog “

Meet Quinn
Sadly Quinn is looking for a new forever home as his owner has recently died.
Quinn has been a client of ElderDog for several years. He is a 10 year old King Shepherd weighing 130lbs and we call him our "gentle giant". He is a healthy and happy boy.
Quinn can be lazy and loves to sit in the sunshine and daydream but he also loves his walks and loves to paddle in water. Not a swimmer but loves to stroll knee deep in the lake.
Quinn loves everyone, especially children and expects to be petted and loved by everyone he meets. He is also great with other dogs that he meets.

He generally walks well on leash but due to his size he can pull if there is a smell or sound he wants to investigate. Quinn has spent the last few years with a single lady owner in a quiet house.
Ideally we hope to find a similar situation for his next move. Quinn LOVES his food and his treats and knows his basic commands. Quinn's adopters will have to be OK with hair .... he sheds lots of it and he definitely benefits from regular grooming and brushing of his thick coat.

Please contact Karen Wells at : [email protected] or at 236-999-6513 if you are interested in adopting this sweet, old boy.

We’re so grateful to the Petaway Pet Hotel & Spa for their incredible support towards our ElderDog Freddie. Freddie is unable to stand for long periods of time and as a result, it was difficult to find a groomer. The Petaway immediately responded to our call and here is the result. Freddie is feeling and looking much better.
Many thanks to The Petaway for your compassion towards our senior dogs.
The Petaway Pet Hotel & Spa is located at 4040 Palladium Way in Burlington.

Molly first mission after emergency fostering. Having a home cooked meal from mom.

This report Elderdog's temporary foster care during hospitalization worked. Elsie is back home with her mom after 78 days being separated. I am sure Elsie will be an asset with her mom recovery. I guess this turn out to be a foster success. Sure had my share of foster fail.

Happy New Year from ElderDog Metro-West Toronto. Do you feel the same as Elsie? These red eyes tell the whole story. She is not happy about getting out of bed. Good girl, you can go back to sleep.

Finally stop raining in ElderDog Metro-West Toronto PAWD so the foster dogs can have a less muddy visit to the back yard. Saying good bye to Meme and Alyia. You guy have a safe travel back home with mom. Poor Astro missed you two already. Elsie is happy as she don't have to share my lap anymore.

Poopsie little anxious being on Highway 401 in Toronto. Yes me too. 12 lanes full of cars going over 100km/hr. Wish I could close my eye like Maggie in the back of the car.

I am sorry being late for your walk. How to deal with a customer who uses explicit and abusive inappropriate language: 1} Using a calm but firm tone of voice, 2) Apologize if there is any wrongdoing on your end, 3) Validate their feelings, 4) Always have a treat.

Hi Mom, I am back! Astro remembered the exact way back home after 39 days in foster care. Elderdog support senior with care and well-being of their canine companion during disruption in their lives. We strive to preserve the relationship between older adults and their canine companions.

ElderDog Vancouver PAWD posted that rubbing a dog's ears release endorphins in their body to give them a natural high.... What I didn't expect is the connection to my funny bone. Could not stop laughing while I was rubbing Astro's ears.

Meme & Aliya with Foster Dad

Meme and Aliya are enjoying the warm weather with foster dad. So happy to see Aliya recovered from her surgery and all the sutures are gone. Just couple more weeks before they can go to their forever home.
