One might initially assume this is a promotional clip for our BarksGiving Open House on Saturday. However, residents were delighted by the visitors from The Hacienda at Georgetown.
It was a magnificent day, and we couldn't feel more blessed and grateful to create loving memories with our senior citizen community.
👉
We will have an information table at BarksGiving to meet parents and companions in the Senior2Senior program.
In 2021, Bonita's life journey transformed from a San Antonio street dog to the proprietor of the BarksGiving Christmas Boutique, marking the best chapter of her life.
We are excited to share that, except for the LGCR t-shirts, all items—including the Apple MacAir—have been generously donated to support our #LiveLongLiveWell program. BarksGiving guests' contributions significantly impact our ability to give senior dogs hope, health, and happiness for a lifetime.

Lady Tess' Tuesday Tips offers four things you shouldn't say to a friend who is overweight:
1. "You'd be so pretty if you lost weight."
2. "It's easy to lose weight."
3. "I don't see you as fat."
4. "You look great!"
Henry arrived in October, and his quality of life is expected to improve significantly after the surgical removal of a large chest tumor and dental extractions. However, due to his morbid obesity, the strain on his heart just to get out of bed increases the risk of complications from anesthesia.
Henry currently weighs fifty pounds and has another twenty to lose. If you are joining us at BarksGiving, ask to shake his paw and encourage him to #LiveLongLiveWell.

In The Neverending Story, Falkor is a wise and optimistic creature from Fantasia. He assists those who have lost hope in their quests and encourages them to believe again.
At LGCR, despite road rash and wandering the Houston area in search of a home, we named our newest resident Falkor for his optimism and determination to persevere against all odds of survival. Welcome home, little guy.
Delilah and Mom have built a strong bond since 2022, deepening their connection. One particular gift from Mom is this talking photo that captures her heartfelt sentiments.
Our Senior2Senior Companionship program builds a supportive community that enriches lives. Over half of LGCR’s pets enjoy cuddling with their owners each night. While our committed staff manages the logistics, the meaningful value comes from the love shared between seniors. This love makes life more fulfilling.
👉Join us at BarksGiving. Visit our Senior2Senior Info table and shake paws with your future forever foster companion.

The LGCR history book highlights Rosie as a founding family pack member and the first resident to experience a life of everlasting love with her medical foster family. Her journey demonstrates how human love and medical support can transform the lives of senior pets into joyful, fulfilling experiences.
Rosie's life journey illuminated what is possible for middle-stage seniors when provided with pathways for hope, health, and, most importantly, love.
Glaucoma, whether undiagnosed or untreated, can lead to severe pain, which underscores the importance of having annual eye exams. We are grateful to LGCR supporters and Rosie's parents. Rosie cherished four incredible years brimming with adventures, enveloped by her family, who embodied the essence of a fulfilling life.
Enjoy heaven's organic carrots, and we'll see you on the other side, Rosie.

The story of Peter Pan beautifully reflects the fleeting innocence of puppyhood mixed with melancholy. The future is bittersweet for dogs like Dakota, who survive distemper, as he is only two years into his journey and, like Peter Pan, never experiences his at-birth potential. Yet, their resilience in the face of such challenges is truly inspiring.
If a dog survives distemper, its future quality of life is uncertain. This highly contagious and often fatal disease impacts various organ systems, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune systems.
Dakota, a symbol of resilience, views the world with wonder despite facing neurological challenges and autoimmune issues. A quote from Peter Pan, "If you can't teach me to fly, teach me to sing," reflects our dedication to giving him a safe space to thrive in Sanctuary Sweetheart pixie dust.
👉Discover the joy Dakota has found in Life at BarksGiving, or visit his profile page if you are interested in sponsoring his cognitive and physical therapies with a monthly donation. Your support is integral to Dakota's journey and will make a significant difference in his life. https://www.livinggracecanineranch.org/residents/dakota
Every day, we celebrate Life- but today was particularly joy-filled for Jack after three years of emotional therapy from cruelty/abuse. Joining another resident (Shadow), they moved into a traditional home environment through our Senior2Senior program. Look closely at Jack's confident, relaxed, and playful posture.
Though Jack and Shadow won't be at BarksGiving, you can expect to be greeted by nearly one hundred twirling tails, simultaneously howling 'Welcome to Where Love Resides' on Saturday, November 9th.
👉Let us know you are coming:

Today, four years ago, Shadow and her beloved sister, Layla, were registered as LGCR residents. During the first year, we thought Shadow was timid, but after Layla's death, her personality blossomed, and she was no longer in her sister's shadow.
Happy Anniversary, Shadow, and congratulations on a new life chapter in our Forever Foster program. At LGCR, it's no secret that Life is Good when senior dogs are provided pathways to hope, health, and happiness.
