Promises Made. Promises Kept: Tenzin Chow Chow 💛🐾
At the age of 8, Tenzin had already walked a long and challenging road. He came to us through a cruelty and neglect case, and while the legal system worked through its process, we made him a promise: one day, you will be safe, loved, and home forever.

Today, that promise is fulfilled.

Tenzin—whose name means holder of the teachings—is beginning his new chapter at Living Grace Canine Ranch. His spirit reminds us of forgiveness, resilience, and the quiet strength that senior dogs carry.

No more waiting. No more uncertainty. From this day forward, Tenzin belongs—forever and always. ✨

💺 Seth’s Big Car Ride: Pup Cup or Dentist Chair?
Today’s trip had Seth wondering… pup cup stop or vet visit? 🍦🚗 Turns out, it was both a ride and a reminder of something important: oral health.

Just like people, senior dogs benefit greatly from routine dental care. 🦷✨
Healthy teeth and gums don’t just freshen breath — they protect the heart, liver, and kidneys from harmful bacteria that sneak in through the mouth. For seniors like Seth, a good cleaning means:

Easier eating (and more enjoyment of tasty meals!)

Less pain from hidden infections

A boost in overall well-being and energy

So while Seth might still hold out for that sprinkle-covered pup cup, his smile will shine brighter — and his heart will stay healthier — thanks to a little oral TLC. 🐾💛

💞A Gentler Strength: Life After the Hunt
From chasing game to chasing joy—Remy and Luna, once sport hunters, now hunt for something far greater: reasons to rise, stretch, and greet each day with wagging tails.

At Living Grace Canine Ranch, every resident reminds us that life’s later chapters are not about loss but about discovery. As Betty Friedan said:
“Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”

👉As with every human heart, their later years reveal a gentler strength—the kind that comes not from chasing life, but from embracing it. 💛

💛 Tied Together by Forever Love 💛

Sheldon put on his yellow tie for a very special day—meeting his new foster dad through our Senior2Senior Companionship Program. At 92 years young, Dad’s smile says it all: joy, belonging, and the start of a forever bond.

Here at Living Grace Canine Ranch, we believe that companionship has no age limit. Seniors like Sheldon remind us that love isn’t measured in years, but in moments shared side by side.

Welcome home, Sheldon. Welcome home, Dad. 🐾✨

🐾 Sunday’s Best: Coffee, Companionship & Canine Care

While most of the world is just easing into their Sunday mornings, this special crew is already bringing joy, comfort, and connection to LGCR's residents.

💞These volunteers are more than a team; they’re a family. Week after week, they show up with open hearts, gentle hands, and the kind of quiet dedication that doesn’t need to be announced—it’s felt.

Their friendship with one another is woven into everything they do: shared smiles, warm conversations, and well-earned brunch. And their love for the residents? It’s in every cuddle, every calm moment, every quiet act of care.

For our seniors, Sunday is a day of peace, familiarity, and love.
For us, it’s a reminder of what community truly looks like.

🙌Thank you, Sunday crew—for showing up, for sticking together, and for turning simple moments into something extraordinary. You are, without a doubt, the Ranch’s softest landing at the end of each week.

At Living Grace Canine Ranch, every senior writes their own version of joy. For Augustus, it’s simple: make a splash, leap for the sheer fun of it, and then roll right into the lap of a volunteer for belly rubs on repeat. 💦🐾

Here, age doesn’t limit life’s pleasures — it multiplies them. Augustus reminds us that with love, laughter, and a few muddy splashes, senior dogs can live each day to the fullest. 💛
