We will never tire of watching you happily explore your new world out in the fresh air, sweet boy! We know life dealt you a rough hand for many years, but here at the sanctuary you will always be safe. Here you will always be loved, just as you are. This will always be your home, and you will always be FAMILY. ❤️ #neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescued #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsanctuary #seniordoglife #seniordoglove #specialneedsdog #alldogsaregooddogs #pnwdogs #dogsofpnw #dogsofwashington #mastiff #mastiffmix #happydog #freedom #exploringoutdoors #nomorefear
According to our and our vet’s best estimate, and what we know of her history, Babe is probably around 18 years old. And that’s pretty darn up there in years for a dog of her breed mix and size! But this old gal just keeps on going, smiling her way over every hurdle life tosses at her. Before her stroke last fall, Babe started showing signs of doggie dementia. She would forget where she was going and what she was doing, but more concerningly she would forget she was eating, which led to the start of some very uncharacteristic weight loss. Yet since her stroke, she has in many ways come back to us! She now eats voraciously and joyously, has started the cutest little old lady style playtime hop, and seems to know exactly what she wants and where she’s going. The only lingering sign of the stroke is her tendency to walk a little crooked due to her head tilt, but even that is not as extreme as it initially was as she’s adapted amazingly. Babe is, indeed, like so many of her sanctuary friends, a true survivor, and we are so grateful to have her as part of the Never Forgotten Ranch family. 🥰#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescued #rescuedoglife #seniordog #seniordogsanctuary #seniordoglife #seniordoglove #specialneedsdog #caninedementia #dogdementia #doggiedementia #pnwdogs #dogsofpnw #dogsofwashington #olddog #farmdog #ranchdog #barnlife #snuggletime #dogsnuggles
❤️ Diamond & Toby ❤️ Both were once homeless, abandoned, sick, hungry and thirsty, scared and alone. Toby once spent his days on the harsh city streets, and Diamond once spent hers abandoned all alone far out in the desert. And once saved from those fates, both then spent their days on the hard floors of a cold concrete kennel, surrounded by fearful barks and cries. Neither did well in the municipal shelters they were taken to, as they struggled to be adopted because of their age and health, with the scary reality of “euthanasia for space” looming over their heads daily. Both of these old babies know exactly how hopelessness feels. But thankfully, both ultimately made their way here to the sanctuary where they rediscovered HOPE! They arrived just weeks apart, and bonded instantly. And quiet moments like this, when we see two pure old souls sharing a well-deserved moment of comfort and peace, reminds us exactly why we do what we do. Statistically, senior dogs, especially large breed senior dogs, have the hardest time getting adopted. But it is our belief that no dog should spend their final days in a shelter. No dog should be put down because they were “too old” or had “too many age-related issues” to find an adopter. So at our sanctuary, we cherish these old souls unconditionally, and are devoted to giving them golden years that truly shine. Our sanctuary is where senior dogs come to thrive! Together, loved, always wanted, and never forgotten. ❤️#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescued #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsanctuary #seniordoglife #seniordoglove #caninecancer #soulmates #sleepydogs #pnwdogs #dogsofpnw #dogsofwashington #bulldog #pittbull #pittie #pibble #pibblelove #americanbulldog #dogsnuggles #specialneedsdogs
Don’t Iet ‘em fool ya. I, Doggie Mom, thankfully don’t have to leave the sanctuary often, and when I do it’s usually for dog-related reasons. They have us all thoroughly wrapped around their little paws, just as it should be. ❤️🐶🐾#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #sanctuarydoglife #seniordogsanctuary #seniordogs #seniordoglife #seniordogrescue #specialneedsdogs #specialneedsdoglife #specialneedsdogsanctuary #specialneedsdogrescue #dogrescue #rescuedogs #dogmom #dogmomlife #likeabagel #wheresmom #doggiemom #waitingformom #dogpack #dogpackfamily #dogfamily #furever #fureverhome #fureverfamily #wrappedaroundtheirpaws

About half of the dogs who live here at the sanctuary are seniors over ten years old. Every one of them found themselves homeless in their golden years, and for a variety of medical, behavioral, or other age-related reasons needing sanctuary or hospice care for their remaining days. And that’s what makes a senior sanctuary different - we’re not here to train these dogs into the perfect adoptable pets. We’re not here to teach them to be good dogs because they already are, no matter what. Because here, dogs just get to BE. They get spoiled and loved and get to be the absolute center of attention 24/7. Their care routines define ours, their needs come first, and their happiness is the top priority. They get the unconditional love and acceptance they need in order to thrive. We don’t know how much time any of them still has here on earth, so we do all we can to make sure they know they are loved and cherished JUST AS THEY ARE. ❤️🐾#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsanctuary #seniordoglife #seniordoglove #sleepydog #dogbed #dogbeds #comfydog #happydog #dogrules #olddog #olddogs #sleepydogs #pnwdog #pnwdogs#dogsofpnw #dogsofwashington #unconditionallove
Klondike has never been one to stay content relaxing in the supervisory role most of the LGDs prefer on work days. No, this smart and industrious boy always insists on being at the heart of the action, watching us use the tools then quickly hopping in with his boopity-boppity snoot to give it a try, too! 🤣🛠️#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary#sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #Igd #Igds #livestockguardiandog#livestockguardiandogs #greatpyrenees #greatpyreneesrescue #greatpyreneeslife #farmlife #ranchlife #farmdog #farmdogs #ranchdog #ranchdogs #farmdoglife #barnlife #barnlifeisthebestlife #helpers #pnwdog #pnwdogs #farmrenovation #dogsofwashington

Oh how we miss these days! With the new mystery dog virus going around, our doggie outings are pretty much on hold at the moment, for their safety. But we know the days of celebrating our community with the doggies will return! And by then maybe even our stubbornly stoic bulldog may grace us with a smile. 😊#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsanctuary #seniordoglife #specialneedsdog #specialneedsdogs #bulldog #bulldogs #americanbulldog #dogparty #carride #pnwdog #pnwdogs#dogsofpnw #dogsofwashington #dogvirus #dogvirus2023
We live in the forest, we hike and play in the trees, and rolling in the dirt is fun! And Great Pyrenees have self-cleaning coats, so no worries, right? Bwahahahaha! The self-cleaning coat thing is at best, subjective. While Pyrs do have double coats that include a top layer that often does shed dirt much better than some other breeds, certain Pyrs just seem to forget that and live their days as dirt and matt magnets. And Ranger is definitely one of those! But here at the sanctuary we believe in letting dogs live naturally and healthily as DOGS! And that means that they absolutely get to roll in the dirt to their little hearts’ content! Even if they try to hide from us on grooming day. 🤣❤️🐶#neverforgottenranch #dogsanctuary #sanctuarydog #sanctuarydogs #dogsanctuarylife #dogrescue #rescued #rescuedog #rescuedogs #rescuedoglife #lgd #Igds #livestockguardiandog#livestockguardiandogs #greatpyrenees #greatpyreneesrescue #greatpyreneeslife #farmlife #ranchlife #farmdog #farmdogs #ranchdog #ranchdogs #farmdoglife #dirtydog #doggrooming #groomingday #pnwdog #pnwdogs #dogsofwashington
