Shep's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary

Shep's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary At Shep's Place, we find old dogs who have gone unadopted in KC shelters, and give them a home.
(1)

Shep's Place is a home for abandoned senior dogs from the KC area, who have gone unadopted in shelters or rescues. We are a 501c3 charitable organization staffed entirely by volunteers. Our facility is a refurbished house in Independence, MO, where the dogs roam freely.

Yesterday we said goodbye to one of our longest residents, Hollie. She arrived over 2 years ago, in September 2022, but spent most of her time with two wonderful fosters, Sherrie and Ramona, for which we are forever grateful. She was a spunky girl, but had increasing dementia at the end. We will miss her frosty muzzle.

*Capital Campaign Passes $200,000 *

We sold the naming rights to a third room in the new building, the laundry & dog wash, which will be known as the Woodside Wag & Wash! A huge thank you to Janis & John Woodside for their ongoing support.

That brings our Capital Campaign up to $205,400, towards our goal of $900,000. Thanks to the 85 people who have donated so far. If you'd like to help, or want more information, please go to www.shepsplace.org/capital-campaign .

* Christmas Angel *

Our sweet boy Cheerio passed away last night, after a battle with cancer. He was a quiet, gentle boy, with a slow stroll and the softest fur. He was a golden soul, and will be sorely missed.

* Good, Good Leroy Brown *

We've sold the naming rights to a second room for the Capital Campaign! The Polsky Family Charitable Foundation has asked that the Pup Pantry be named in memory of their beloved dog, Leroy Brown. A huge Shep's thank you, to one of our long-time donors.

If you'd also like to honor a furry family member, or a loved-one, or even yourself, please ask about the naming rights to the other rooms in the new building. Each one moves us closer to making their new home a reality. To see what's available, go to shepsplace.org/capital-campaign.

(P.S. My high school principal's name was Leroy Brown!)

How do we use your donations? Tiny Tim came to us underweight and with chronic diarrhea. Our vet figured out he had inflammatory bowel disease. He is now on a strict prescription diet ($$). He has gained weight and is diarrhea free!!! Tim loves his walks and playing fetch. He is a super smart boy and knows lots of commands. He's looking for his forever person since Shep's is a little slower pace than he is.😂 For more ways to help dogs like Tim, use one of the links below.⬇️

How do we use your Giving Tuesday donations? Andy is being treated for a skin condition, dry eye and infection, pain meds for bad back legs/spine, and several other items. He is the most sweet, gentle boy despite all his medical issues. Because of our generous donors, he is now on the mend to live the rest of his life in luxury. If you want to donate, please use one of these links. ⬇️

What do we use your Giving Tuesday donations on? Roxy and Sox found their way to Shep's after their owner passed away. These two are very healthy pups. However, they still require vet visits, vaccines, food, and a roof over their heads. We are so very thankful to be able to help senior dogs get out of a shelter and into a home setting to live out their golden years. Please consider helping us this Giving Tuesday with a donation to help even more seniors. Donate ⬇️

Whoa Dorothy! This is a senior sanctuary! 🤣🤣🤣 #seniordog #dogrescue #donate #volunteer #adoptdontshop

Sissy
Sissy

* Sissy Fuss * Our Adorable-Meter just overloaded! Sissy is a 10-year-old Pomeranian mix who was sadly neglected by her owner, before coming to the Brown County Humane Society, Kansas. They took good care of her, gave her a dental and got her hair to grow back. Now she is on her way to a foster at Shep’s, but she’ll be available for adoption soon! She is very friendly, and fits perfectly in your lap. If you’d like to help more dogs like Sissy, please consider volunteering or making a donation, at https://linktr.ee/ShepsPlace . The dogs will thank you!

Doby & Dakota
Doby & Dakota

* Doby Pad * Small Dog Week continues at Shep’s! Yesterday we brought in two from Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka. Doby is a 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier (not a rat terrier as I say in the video). He is a bit shy and nervous, but warms up quickly on a couch. He will stay with a foster. Dakota is an 11-year-old poodle whose owner passed away. She is very mellow, and loves people. She will stay with us at the house. After they go to the vet, they will be available for your lap!

Papillons
Papillons

* Bring On the Papillons! * Yesterday we welcome three bundles of adorable to Shep’s Place: Matilda, Eddie, and Dorothy! They came from a family of Papillons whose owner passed away. We don’t know their exact ages, but Matilda is perhaps 12, and the other two 10. They spent the last several months at Independence Animal Services. They are super cute!

Just a couple friends hanging out! #sanctuary #seniordog #dogrescue #donate #volunteer #adoptdontshop

Andy Dandy
Andy Dandy

Yesterday we welcomed a new dog to the Shep’s house: Andy! He is a black lab who is estimated to be 10 years old. He was a stray, and spent the last two months at Independence Animal Services. He has dry patchy skin, and needs to put on some weight, but hopefully we can help with that. He is a mild, shy gentleman who likes to be around people. Welcome, Andy!

Brody
Brody

Earlier this week, we welcomed Brody the rat terrier to Shep’s. He is 15 years old, and comes from Independence Animal Services. His original owner passed away. Brody was anxious in the shelter, and was so happy to relax at Shep’s. He will stay with a foster, but would love a permanent lap to sit in!

Big Announcement: Shep’s is Expanding! For details, go to shepsplace.org/capital-campaign .

* Hail to the Chief * On Monday, we welcomed Chief to Shep’s Place. He’s an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd from the Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka. He is a sweet, mellow guy who loves naps and food, and gets along great with dogs, cats, and life in general. He is going to a foster, but will be available soon. Welcome, Chief!
