Today is the day!! We are open for applications for the Senior Companion program! We will furnish the dog, dog food and vet care for seniors who need a helping hand and a sweet companion. Seniors need a dog more than most younger folks do so this is a win-win for shelter dogs and senior people, alike! This is like a foster situation and the dogs come back to us if the client passes before the dog does. We will be pulling senior dogs from shelters who often get looked over and placing them in the right senior’s home that we match up! This is only available in Granbury and Tolar, Tx right now.
We want to go over some key points of what this program is about and is NOT about.
It IS for -
*seniors 65 and over
*seniors who are struggling financially to be able to afford feeding and vet care for a dog
*seniors who are lonely
*client can be a hospice patient with a care giver to help
*client can be bed bound and still yearn for a dog companion
*have a secure fenced yard for the dog’s safety
This program is NOT for -
*someone who can afford to feed a dog and provide vet care
*someone to just adopt a dog (contact SCF for that)
*when a senior passes away, for us to take their dog(s)
*someone who already has a dog
Please help us by reading this in entirety and if this sound like it would be great for you or someone you love, please fill out the application below. If you need a paper application, contact us by private message and we can mail one. Also, please do not abuse this program and our donation dollars by applying if you truly can afford to have a dog.
