Welcome to CSDRH BELLA! 💚😍

This sweet senior Papillon mix is already loving life outside of the shelter (swipe for the video).

We know she needs a dental and has a possible mammary mass that needs to be examined.

She’ll be heading to the vet this week for a full checkup! Please help us cover the costs of Bella’s vet bills by making a deductible donation via Venmo or by donating on this post. Thank you for helping us help Bella!

Bex had her echocardiogram yesterday and despite hearing a grade 4 out of 6 heart murmur she doesn’t have an enlarged heart or require heart meds at this time! It’s the best news we could hope for.

Despite having no working legs, Bex put up a good fight on the table where she wiggled and wormed her way into trying to get out of doing the echo and it took two techs to keep her still. I bet they didn’t expect to “wrestle” a 16 yr old dog with no legs that day! 🤣😅 But once we shipped out the treats she was much more compliant 😆 This little firecracker never ceases to amaze us 💚

Sweet Bordeaux is back from her vet visit and is already napping in the sun. ☀️ 💤

We got her some meds for kennel cough, ran bloodwork, and checked her teeth. She’ll need a dental once she’s feeling better. In the meantime she’s really warming up in her foster home, following her foster mom around and giving kisses. She is such a sweet little lady ♥️

Please consider helping with her care costs!

Look who joined us last night!

Matilda was found by a dumpster, unable to walk. She is underweight and extremely matted. Thankfully, a good Samaritan took her a local shelter and after a week, she is walking much better, but we still have a ways to go to get her all checked up.

Today she got a shave down and bath and tomorrow is her first vet visit!

You can make a tax deductible donation on this post, via Venmo , or on our website coseniordogrescue.org/donate Thank you! 💚

EDIT: VOLUNTEER FOUND! 💚

Volunteer needed ‼️ 📢

We are seeking transport for this sweet senior Pomeranian named Bordeaux from AZ Humane to Colorado so she can become a CSDRH dog!

Bordeaux was taken to the shelter for owner-requested euthanasia, and upon examination, the vet determined she did not meet the requirements for euthanasia and that Bordeaux is just a typical old lady with some arthritis but appears to be in good health otherwise!

There are two options for transport:

1) Round-trip flight July 3rd or 4th.
2) Drive to Blanding, Utah to meet an AZ volunteer to pick up the dog.

Details:
Travel costs are covered by the rescue.
Volunteer agrees to be PACFA compliant (we'll show you how).

If you're able to help please email us at [email protected]! 🙏

We are so behind on sharing adoption updates, but we couldn't miss this one!

Sweet Maggie was adopted by a lovely man named John, who adored Maggie from the moment he set eyes on her. Maggie now lives in a lovely home with a spacious backyard and gets all the attention and affection she wants from John and his mom.

Happy endings like this make it all worth it. Happy life, Maggie!

What's better than one senior dog? TWO SENIOR DOGS! 😍

Have you seen these two sweet seniors at Denver Animal Shelter?! They're a bonded pair of boys looking for their forever home. Head on down to DAS to meet them today!

Meet Luc and Beau, an inseparable bonded pair of 13-year-old Bichons who are ready to bring double the love into your life. These friendly seniors have a zest for life and enjoy going for walks, making them the perfect companions for leisurely strolls. Their sweet and affectionate nature makes them a joy to have around, and they thrive on the companionship of their humans and each other. If you're looking to open your heart and home to two delightful and loyal friends, Luc and Beau are eager to become cherished members of your family. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Meet Bex! This 16-year-old firecracker may not have any front legs, but she makes up for it with sass.

Bex joined our sanctuary senior program a few months back after her owner passed away. She had been with her owner for the entire 16 years of her life and was obviously very well cared for. Her owner was also an advocate for senior dogs in her lifetime!

Bet was born without front legs but was able to get around by walking on her two back legs her entire life. However, with her advanced age came arthritis that crippled those back legs.

When she's not being carried around like a princess, Bex wiggles like a worm to get around. The resiliency of this small dog is astounding! And she still manages to boss her foster mom around.

We love an old dog with sass, and we're happy to welcome Bex into our sanctuary program where she'll get to live out the rest of her days in comfort and care.

Bex does appear to have some heart issues, so we're going to get her scheduled for an echocardiogram. Please consider donating to this procedure as it's $500 just for the testing!

You can donate via Venmo or on our website coseniordogrescue.org/donate. Thank you for helping us help Bex!

We are saddened to share the passing of our gentle giant Magnus. 💔

Magnus came to us this past December after being found through a welfare check beside his deceased owner in their apartment.

After he was vetted, his second foster ended up adopting him! He got to live on a 4 acre farm in the mountains where he enjoyed patrolling the property, scaring off moose, and greeting everyone at the gate who visited.

Despite his ginormous size and age, Magnus loved romping around in the yard and catching frisbees until the day before he passed. He was our happy boy 💚

Thank you to his first fosters Molly and Matt who took a chance on this big guy and to Diane, his second foster, who adopted Magnus when many others wouldn’t have given him a chance.

Run free, Magnus 💚 we’re lucky to have known you 🐾

Are you ready to fall in love? Meet Chachi, a sweetheart of a dog looking for his forever home. Chachi is a loyal companion who loves to be by your side, whether you’re out for a walk or lounging on the couch.

He thrives on companionship and will be your shadow, always wanting to be close to you. While he does express his sadness when left alone by howling, he doesn’t engage in any destructive behaviors. For this reason, he wouldn’t be a good fit for apartment living.

Chachi loves his walks and is fantastic on a leash. He enjoys exploring the outdoors and would make a wonderful walking buddy. He’s also a pro at car rides, making him a great travel companion for all your adventures.

At home, Chachi is quite the couch surfer and enjoys relaxing just as much as he loves his walks. He’s good with other dogs and cats, having previously lived with 10 cats! However, he can be a bit grumpy with pushy behavior and prefers a calm and respectful environment.

Chachi can be a little suspicious of new people but bonds quickly once he gets to know you. He can get a bit possessive around his food with other dogs, but it’s manageable if you’re able to separate him at mealtime.

He prefers a home without small children or one where interactions with kids are closely supervised. Chachi is an easy-going, loving dog who is looking for someone to share his life with. He’s the perfect mix of active and laid-back, making him an ideal companion for someone who enjoys both outdoor activities and quiet times at home.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing friend, Chachi is your guy.

Apply to adopt Chachi today at coseniordogrescue.org/adopt!

Hey Senior Dog Lovers! You may have noticed we haven't been posting daily like usual. This is due to a few factors, which we'll address in this post.

First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have been supportive and kind since the beginning. Running an animal rescue is incredibly rewarding, but it also takes a lot. Lately, we've been facing some challenges that have made it more difficult to stay active on social media and respond to emails promptly.

We are a small team of volunteers who dedicate our time to saving senior dogs outside of our work schedules, family obligations, and the general challenges of life. Unlike larger organizations with full-time staff, we are not able to have full-time staff dedicated to answering the mountain of emails we receive each day.

From the start, our mission has been to do what we can when we can. Even if our rescue isn't as big as some other organizations, we believe that every effort counts. Every single senior dog matters. They deserve to have that second chance.

We kindly ask for your continued patience and understanding. When our team receives hostile emails or comments for not giving someone the dog they wanted, it is really challenging and contributes to the burnout that is so common in animal rescue work. Unfortunately, when we have 10+ applications for one dog, many people will be disappointed. We understand how hard it is not to get a dog you had your heart set on. However, we encourage you to continue your search for a senior dog, as there are so many out there in need of loving homes for their golden years.

We are committed to getting back to posting more updates—we have so many wonderful stories to share! Rest assured, we have been continuing our mission to save senior dogs in shelters.

To the vast majority who are amazing, supportive, and understanding—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness and encouragement mean the world to us and keep us going.

With gratitude,
CSDRH

Status: Available for Adoption! Meet Ginger (https://petsearch.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1954950&name=Ginger) 💚

Sweet Ginger found herself in the shelter as an owner surrender. She was severely overweight and a fearful little lady, but she has since made HUGE progress in both her weight loss journey and in learning to be brave.

While initially thought to be a senior due to her poor body condition, our vets now put her at 6 years old...she faked us all! She's a spring chicken who found her way to a senior dog rescue. 😆💚

Over the past months in foster care, she has lost 10 lbs and gains confidence every single day. She has the most soulful and trusting eyes and is her foster’s constant “shadow.” She loves to snuggle and has started playing with toys and rolling around on her back for belly rubs. She is very well mannered but needs more work learning basic commands. Her favorite snacks are carrots, snap peas and any dog bone.

She currently lives with two foster sisters and loves greeting neighbor dogs.

Ginger’s favorite thing in the world seems to be…kids! She comes alive around her foster’s 2-year-old nephew and seems to gravitate toward small kids in general. (we always recommend an abundance of caution when introducing dogs to kids of any age)

Ginger’s ideal pawrents spend a lot of time with her at home, have patience as she continues to build confidence, and love snuggles.

Our young old man Chachi had his specialist appointment this week for his dental surgery. Because his jaw bone is so thin it’ll take a specialist to remove them without cracking the jaw bone. And while they’re in there they’ll repair some fistulas too.

As you know, specialty surgeries are $$$$. Please consider donating to Chachi’s care! You can make a tax deductible donation here on this post or via Venmo, PayPal, or on our website! Thank you for being a part of Chachi’s story.

Ginger update! 💚 Here she is with her foster dad who says “Ginger requires lots of kisses” 🥰🥹

Ginger was at our vet last week to check on her weight loss progress and get a few other to-do’s marked off her list. While she was there the vet discovered her back leg had a grade 3 luxating patella that will likely require surgery.

We’re getting her in to see an orthopedic surgeon for a consult to see what the best next steps are for our Ginger gal. Speciality surgery is typically thousands of dollars and will be a big hit to our bank account! Please consider donating to Ginger’s care via:

Welcome to CSDRH, Teebo! 💚

Teebo is a 14-year-old shih-tzu who was surrendered to the shelter due to his owner's poor health. Teebo was lovingly cared for in one home for his entire 14 years of life, and now he's landed with us, where he'll get the full fix-up before finding his forever home.

We know that Teebo needs a dental, has some bad arthritis that is affecting his gait, has a heart murmur, and has several small masses on his body. His care is going to be costly, so please consider donating to his care and being a part of Teebo's glow-up! ✨

We are THRILLED to share that Monique has found her forever home! 💚

When Monique came to CSDRH, she faced several medical challenges, including mammary and o***y tumors requiring removal, numerous decayed teeth, and the need for a spay.

Thanks to your generous donations we were able to get Monique the care she needed and find the perfect home for her where she'll be the apple of her dad's eye and get to go to work with him every day! We could not imagine a better fit.

Happy life Monique, we love you! 💚

Chachi is home healing from his dental surgery that removed 27 teeth! 🤯 This poor guy must have suffered a long time because his mouth was completely rotten.

There were two teeth our vet didn't feel comfortable removing due to how thin the jaw is. So we're going to get Chachi in with a veterinary dental specialist to see if they have the ability to remove those two canines so he can be completely free of all nasty teeth!

With all the snow we got this weekend, we forgot to introduce the latest member of CSDRH, Chachi!

Chachi is a 10-year-old dachshund mix who is CLEARLY into cuddling. So far in his foster home, he's demonstrated great manners and loves to hang with the male dogs.

Chachi is headed to our vet tomorrow for a full exam! We know he needs a dental cleaning, neutering, and to loose a little bit of weight, so we'll get a plan together for all of that tomorrow!

Sweet hospice guy Gary has been having some allergy issues that we’ve been trying to figure out the past 6 weeks. We’re headed in for a vet visit this Saturday that will hopefully get us set on the right track. Here he is getting a skin soothing shampoo bath that helps provide temporary relief from his skin issues.

Fosters are central to our mission. 💚 In order to save an urgent senior animal from the shelter, we first need a foster home ready to care for them.

By providing a temporary foster home, you are not only saving a senior from potential euthanasia but also giving that dog a chance to live the rest of their lives with a forever family.

Ready to Make a Difference? 🌟

Fostering takes a special kind of person. Someone willing to open up their home, their hearts, and their time to caring for senior dogs. Could that be you?
