Last night, Halton Hills and Milton held a Pickleball Fundraiser for ElderDog Halton Pawd. We’re not sure who won as everyone was having so much fun no one cared to keep score! The tournament raised $520.00 for ElderDog causes in the Halton Region.
Many thanks to Stacey Healey who hosted and ran the event at her home.
Nice work everyone!

Before humans die, they write their last will & testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask - to a poor and lonely stray, I'd give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed; soft pillow and all my toys; the lap which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I'd will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds. So, when I die, please do not say, "I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand."
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give, the love I left behind

Mieke arrived at her new foster home yesterday and already she’s settling in. She loves the backyard and snuggling with her people. Mieke is being treated for a UTI and will require dental surgery once the infection clears up. As soon as she gets the all clear from her vet, she will be looking for her new home.
Thank you Diane and Kim for transporting Mieke to us.
Medical Hold.

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.

It was three years ago today when, as Rehoming Coordinator for ElderDog, I met Freddie. Due to his many medical issues, he was not highly adoptable but ElderDog felt he deserved a chance and with their support, we decided to become his forever foster family. We were told he might have six months to a year and yet, here we are. Freddie faces each challenge head on and through it all, he never lost his sweet nature. He is the happiest, most affectionate dog you could ever meet. He still has his medical issues and he’s walking less now due to his osteoarthritis and deformed front paws. However, he loves to sit by the window and watch the birds and squirrels or outside on the grass in the sunshine. He gets excited when people come over to say hi. He still wants to chase the neighbourhood cats but he knows they’ll laugh at him so why bother. He enjoys going out in his stroller and when we come to a tree, we take him out so he can sniff, check the P-mail and leave a response. He’s on pain management and special food as well as other medications but as long as he’s happy, Freddie will continue to enjoy being treated like the special dog he is. Many thanks to ElderDog for standing by him and giving him that second chance.

Another happy tail. Lucie’s adoption is official. Patti and John are thrilled to welcome this sweet girl into their lives. Lucie has settled into her new home and enjoys meeting her neighbours. After her walk, she loves to relax on the patio sofa or play with her stuffed toy “Miss Daisy”.
Congratulations Patti and John. Enjoy your new life Lucie.

This summer has been hot and humid but Riley figured out a way to stay cool. It’s been two years this month since he was adopted by Helen and Mike and he's enjoying every minute. He has the perfect name because he is living the life of Riley!

We want to extend a huge thank you to "the petaway" located at 4040 Palladium Way, Burlington for their incredible kindness and support towards our furry friends at ElderDog Canada! Recently, they went above and beyond by grooming one of our client's dogs who was in desperate need of some TLC.
Their skill and compassion have made a real difference in the life of a senior dog, ensuring not just a fresh look but also a boost in well-being. It's heartwarming to see local businesses like "the petaway" stepping up to help our community's older pets.
Thank you once again to "the petaway" for your generosity and dedication to animal welfare. Together, we're making tails wag and spreading smiles!

Do you know someone who would love a dog like Molly

One of ElderDog’s goals is to enable older adults, living at home and with challenges affecting dog care to continue to benefit from their relationship with their canine companions. Very often, it means the difference between someone being able to keep or give up their beloved companion.
With the help of our volunteers, ElderDog provides a range of assistance and support, such as transportation, basic groom and most importantly, taking a dog for a walk to give them much needed exercise.

One such client is Georgina and her dog, Darcy. Georgina held a volunteer appreciation event at her daughter’s house on Sunday. From left to right are Darcy’ walkers, Marcia, Heidi, Jocelyn, Joanne, Andrea, Paige and Diane.
Many thanks to these special people who make a difference to someone who needs help.

Meet Ollie
Ollie is a 2-3 yr. old male, approximately 20lbs, Pom/terrier mix.
He loves his person and will follow you wherever you go once he has decided you are the one. He will bark at people coming to the door because he is, after all a big guard dog, but if ignored he will go on his way. He will also bark at other dogs. He lives with cats at this time but will chase if they run. Because of this we would be looking at a home with no young children.
Ollie is used to having his person home with him so we would be looking for a home with one person working from home. He can be left alone for a few hrs. and after a few barks will lay down and sleep.
He is a young dog who loves his walks but will pull, so we also will be looking for an able-bodied owner that likes to walk and has the strength to train Ollie on the leash. Ollie has not had any basic manners training but is a very quick learner.
He loves to play fetch with his ball and enjoys all his toys. He also loves car rides.
If you are looking for a loyal companion and you think you would be the right home for Ollie please contact: Cheryl Lumgair at: 705-774-0638 or email at: [email protected]

It is with a heavy heart that we have to report that Max passed away on Monday due to an unexpected injury. He was so close to having his forever home. Our hearts go out to his family and everyone who knew this beautiful creature. RIP Max
