Myth Busting Monday 🐾
We hear this one a lot — “Once a dog slows down, there’s nothing you can do.”

But that’s just not true. 💪

Sometimes all it takes is the right combo of supplements, gentle exercise, and good vet care to bring back their spark. We’ve seen seniors come in stiff, tired, and sore — and within weeks, they’re trotting around like brand new dogs.

Getting older doesn’t mean giving up. It just means meeting them where they are, and giving their bodies (and hearts) the support they need to shine again. ✨

We didn’t get nearly enough time with him.
But Santino got what every senior dog deserves —
to be loved in the end.

He crossed the rainbow bridge wrapped in love instead of fear.
Soft blankets instead of a concrete floor.
Loving hands instead of strangers passing by.
A name. A family. Someone who said, “You matter.”

We would choose him again and again, even knowing it would hurt like this.

💛 Right now, every donation you give is matched — dollar for dollar — through 12/1/25 at midnight CT, up to $5,000.
We’re just under $900 raised so far… your gift could be the one that helps us save the next senior whose time is running out.

This sweet senior girl is deaf, and she’s been waiting alone at the shelter.
We were there to pick up another senior… but she lifted her head, looked our way, and in that moment, she chose us.
So we chose to save her too.

Her stray hold ends Tuesday, and we’ll be there to bring her home.
Right now she’s sleeping on a shelter floor, but her soft bed is already on the way because of this community. 💛

A longtime supporter is matching every Giving Tuesday gift up to $5,000.
Your kindness is doubled through Monday at 11:59 pm — and it helps us say “yes” the moment a forgotten senior reaches for us.

If donating isn’t possible, sharing this reel helps her more than you know. Your share might be the one that reaches the person who can give today. 🐾

❤️ Grateful & Hopeful Today

Friends, this week has been especially heavy for senior rescue.
Seniors being left behind. Families “making room.” Shelters overflowing.
Because of you, we keep showing up.

In the last few days, you helped us say yes to five seniors, with two more waiting on stray hold. Each one has that quiet look of hoping someone will still choose them.

While picking up Santino, a frail senior black lab caught our eye. She didn’t hear us tapping on her kennel because she’s deaf. When we opened the door, she looked up as if to say, “I’m too old to be here.”

We’ve already asked to bring her to safety the moment her stray hold ends Tuesday.

For now, she’s sleeping on a shelter floor, but thanks to this community, her soft bed is coming soon. 💛

Today, something incredibly generous happened that we wanted you to hear first.

🐾 A longtime supporter is matching every Giving Tuesday donation up to $5,000!!
Not for attention or credit, but because she believes every senior deserves a safe place to land.

Every gift you give between now and Tuesday at 11:59 pm is doubled.
$25 becomes $50.
$300 becomes $600.
$1,000 becomes $2,000.

Your kindness continues to change what’s possible for these seniors.

If you’ve been wanting to help a forgotten senior feel safe again, this is one of the most impactful moments to give.

These seniors wanted to personally thank some of their Pawsie sponsors today 🧡

Because of Pawsie members, they get vet care, soft beds, meds, full bellies, and golden days filled with love — instead of sitting alone in a shelter kennel.

If you’d like to make a senior feel this thankful, you can become a Pawsie member for $5/month. Comment PAWSIE and we’ll send you the link 🧡

Today was one of those rescue days that leaves you quiet on the drive home.

We brought a new little girl back to the sanctuary today, and we tagged two others who will be coming soon — but this post isn’t about them. We’ll share their stories separately.

Right now, my heart is on the three seniors we couldn’t say yes to.

Not because they didn’t matter.
Not because we didn’t want them.
But because we didn’t have the space or the funds today to take on more senior vet care.
And that truth always hurts.

These three are all still at the shelter.
All on the euth list.
And all three are big dogs — which always makes things harder.
Not because of anything they did, but because big seniors take up more space, cost more to care for, and too often get passed over while the smaller ones get scooped up first.

We’ve already had to say “no” to multiple large seniors in our inbox this week alone.
And just a couple hours away in Dallas, the need for these big forgotten seniors is even heavier.
They’re being surrendered, overlooked, and left behind faster than rescues can keep up.

Two of the ones we met today are Huskies who came in together — one so tired he was napping, the other barking from fear.
And the third was listed as an older dog, but he looked so much younger when we saw him… and so hopeful.

They’re the first 3 photos below and we’ll add videos in the comments.

👉 If you are a rescue with room for even ONE large senior, please contact the shelter directly.
That’s their chance at life.

If you’re not a rescue but you’ve asked how to help us say yes to more large seniors in the future, support toward our vet bill is what eventually opens space — but today is about them.

🐾 Wishlist Wednesday — and today it comes with a BIG ask 💛

We have the chance to say YES to a senior cat who just lost her home through no fault of her own.

Her family has loved her for years — truly loved her — but their long-term rental was sold and the place they’re moving to only allows two pets. She’s the third.

We have a foster ready to take her.
We want to say yes.
We just need to gather a few supplies to make sure she walks into comfort and safety right away.

What she still needs:
✨ Litter
✨ Senior wet + dry food
✨ Scratcher/ climber
✨ Soft bed to hide in

Everything has been added to our wishlist if you’d like to help us welcome her home. 🤍

And while we were updating the wishlist… the dogs definitely took the opportunity to put in their own requests 😂

So you’ll also see wet food, cleaning supplies, blankets, and a few fun things the senior doggos have been eyeing.

🛒 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MXEQBDSZCOAY?ref_=list_d_wl_ys_list_2
💛 Monetary donations are also appreciated if that’s easier — every bit of help gets us closer to saying YES to her.

Thank you for making sure our seniors — dog and cat — feel loved, safe, and chosen.

11/25/2025

Today we walked into the shelter and picked up a tiny senior who’s clearly been through a lot.
Half naked, underweight, covered in skin issues… and still trying his absolute best to be brave.

Everyone, meet Arnold. 🤍
He fell asleep in the car on the way home — because for the first time in a long time, he’s safe now.

This week he’ll be getting bloodwork to check his thyroid and liver, and we’ll start treatment for his skin and pain. We’ll take everything one step at a time and give him all the love he deserves.

If you’d like to help care for Arnold as he starts this next chapter, we’ll put the donation link + his Amazon wishlist in the comments. Your kindness makes rescue possible.
