Four years have passed since Koda first came to ElderDog. He’s a respectable 9-year old senior now enjoying retirement with his family near the lake. He’s got a few aches and pains (who doesn’t) but that doesn’t stop him from playing and running around with his friends at the local park. After a fun day outside and with all the Christmas decorations done, there is nothing better than snoozing on the sofa catching the last bit of rays and dreaming of what he’ll find under the tree. Hope Santa brings you lots of toys Koda!

It’s always hard to lose a companion but more so around the holiday season when everyone is filled with excitement. Sadly, we lost Pablo this week. A few weeks ago, he was fine and then they found the lump and suddenly, he was gone.
Pablo was a big, handsome boy with a deep, loud bark that made people take notice but when you scratched his ears, he was a teddy bear. He loved to be around his people and race around the yard chasing the squirrels. His family loved him and he loved them. He was a good boy and will be deeply missed.
RIP Pablo

12-year-old Kaos has brought a lot of joy (and yes, a bit of chaos) to his forever foster home since arriving a month ago. He is a big sweet goofball who just wants to be with people, following his foster mom everywhere she goes and spreading joy along the way with his expressive personality and friendly nature. He loves to play ball, go on adventures (walking or driving), and at least twice a day, flop across his foster mum’s lap for a full-body rub down, ideally followed by a nice nap. His foster family is very grateful for the chance to have a little Kaos added to their lives.
Since this year will be his first Christmas in his new home, he’s not sure if Santa will know where to find him. Don’t worry Kaos. We sent him an email.

It’s hard to believe three years have passed since Charlie first came to ElderDog. He continues to be a bringer of joy to everyone he meets. These days his favourite things are wading through giant mounds of leaves, hogging the bed, watching any kind of wild life on TV, a good stuffy murder, playing fetch, and of course all the belly rubs he can get. His family continues to be amazed by his good health (his arthritis is practically gone) and his zest for life at 12. “What a blessing this boy has been to our family”.
Now that the tree is up, it’s time to relax and wait for the clatter of reindeer hooves on the roof which means Santa has arrived to replace all the shredded stuffies!

Cocoa was recently adopted and this will be her first Christmas in her new home. She’s amazed at the number of toys she has and she has a canine brother Roscoe, also a recent ElderDog adoptee. They’ve become very close and love to go for walks together or just veg out and look out the window. Both are looking forward to the holidays and what they’ll find under the tree but Santa already gave them the best gift of all – a great mom who loves them and enjoys their companionship. Enjoy your new lives Cocoa and Roscoe

It’s been seven months since Sam found her forever home. She enjoys her walks and going out on the boat on hot summer days. She’s become quite the sailor. She can’t wait for Santa and his reindeer to land on the rooftop and is a bit worried they won’t be able to find her. Don’t worry, Sam. ElderDog told him where you live.

11-year-old Mel had many challenges when he first came to ElderDog two and half years ago. Thanks to the love, patience and dedication his foster fails, John and Kate gave him, Mel has overcome a severe skin infection. He may not be able to see and his hearing isn’t like it used to be but he still senses the Christmas excitement in the air. He’s been such a good boy that Santa would never be able to say no to this sweet little senior.

This is Benji’s second Christmas with Karol and her family. Karol says it feels like he’s been with them forever and can’t imagine not having him in their lives. Though Benji likes his party hat and Santa boots, he’s hoping to find stuffed toys with his name on it under the tree!

URGENT!
Meet Gemma (Gem) a lovely 10-year-old female Bully mix.
She’s coming from a bad situation and is desperately looking for a foster or better yet, a forever home. She’s a larger dog, about lab size, and is thin. She needs to put on weight to gain back her girly figure. She has bed sores from being crated 20-22 hours a day.
Gemma loves people and children. She has a high prey drive and must be the only animal in the house.
Gemma would do well in a home with someone who is around most of the time and who will give her the love she’s been denied.
If you are interested in adopting Gemma, please contact Lisa at

URGENT - Miko's Dad passed away in Parry Sound this past Monday and he is looking for a new home. Miko is a sweet boy, just a bit nervous to start. He is not aggressive. He walks well on a leash, listens to commands, and is a loving and loyal friend. He does not like cats and takes a while to warm up to other dogs. He is 6 years old, neutered male, up to date on everything. He weighs about 40 lb. Miko is originally from Kuwait (Saluki mix). Miko would adjust to living just about anywhere provided he has love and routine. If you are interested, please send an email to [email protected]. She can put you in touch with the powers that be. Please share this post!

Long-Term & Perpetuity Care

At ElderDog Canada, we know that canine companionship is more important later in life than perhaps at any other time. The many benefits of a companion dog are well documented, and those who have enjoyed a special relationship with a dog, know first-hand how special that connection is.

Many older adults, who have enjoyed the company of a dog in the past, would very much like to welcome another dog into their hearts and homes. One thing that stands in the way is a concern about what will happen to their dog if something happens to them. This worry is shared by other older adults who currently live with a dog. “What if my dog outlives me? What will happen to her?” is a familiar refrain.

ElderDog’s Long-term and Perpetuity Care Program provides much-needed peace of mind. When you register in the program, if you become unable to care for your dog, ElderDog Canada commits to place your dog in a loving forever home to live out her/his life with respect and dignity.

To register, please complete the registration form for Long-term and Perpetuity Care, contact [email protected], or call 1-855-336-4226 for more information.
