Do your dogs love snow? Jake & Emma find it invigorating! You can hardly tell that Jake still has a dislocated leg!! Sweet Jake came to me at the beginning of June, having been hit by a car. Pre surgery bloodwork revealed that he had heartworm, which had to be treated before surgery could be scheduled. It's taken SEVEN months for him to beat the heartworm, but we did it! And now this great guy is scheduled to have his bum leg fixed on January 18th (and to be neutered!). I've also found a wonderful adopter for Jake, in a home with two other rescues. A 'happily ever after' for this deserving dog! Jake's heartworm treatments, and his pain medication and other expenses have added up and his surgery is estimated to be $2500. I have $1700 set aside today. Can you please help me raise the difference for Jake's surgery, and his care through recovery? Every bit helps.

PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶

Friends, excellent news! Jake has successfully been treated for heartworm. It's been a long road for this sweet guy. He's scheduled for surgery next month, to repair his dislocated leg (and to be neutered). Then he will be off to his forever home, which he will share with a fantastic family and two other senior dogs. Johnson's Sanctuary is currently closed, because we are not able to accept surrenders or provide veterinary care for dogs in need. However we've made a lifetime commitment to support every dog we've rescued. Beyond Jake's continued care, and surgery, there are other expenses, and we intend to reopen in the future. We appreciate every contribution. Please look at the face of this lovely, deserving and grateful boy, and know that it's because of your support that he can live happily ever after! Thank you!

Athena is in need of a loving forever home! This beautiful 2 1/2 year old doberman is a high energy, bright and affectionate girl. She is the last of the dogs in my rescue who needs to be placed. Athena is good with other dogs, and has some experience with cats, about whom she is curious but not in a predatory way. Athena requires a securely fenced yard where she can run daily. Located in Bethel, NY. Please message me for details. Thank you!

Friends, it is with deepest regret that I must announce the closing of Johnson’s Sanctuary for Senior Dogs. Significant pledges of support have been withdrawn and there is a toxic element on the property we were planning to move to which, it turns out, is impossible to mitigate in any way that would offer our guaranteed safety. I am fully committed to the comfort, safety and security of all of the animals in my care and no risk to this is acceptable.

Since our inception 3 1/2 years ago, we have rescued 16 sweet senior dogs from the threat of death and ushered them to the safety of new homes. We’ve helped many others with veterinary needs, and assisted in the rescue and placement of cats and kittens as well. But in the past year we have faced tremendous losses and obstacles.

What appeared to be a great and viable solution that would allow us to do much more, has now fallen apart and we simply do not have the resources to recover. I’m dismayed by this failure but must focus on our miraculous achievements, helping animals in need and bringing joy into the lives of their new families.

On a personal level, I am compelled to live a life of service to fur bearing babies in need and will find other ways to continue. I am so very grateful for the understanding and support I have received from so many of you!

I also want to share the most valuable lesson I’ve learned in this endeavor. Living a life of service to others is the true path to happiness and success. Operating Johnson’s Sanctuary is by far the most rewarding experience I’ve had in my life. I am sorry to see this chapter close, but my story isn’t over yet.

We still need to raise $1000 by Monday, but with your help we will meet that goal! Jake, who is largely sedated on pain meds until Monday, will be with me at: Brothers Vintage & Variety 120 Sullivan St Wurtsboro, NY 12790 Friday – Sunday 11 – 5 Please stop by and show him some love. We are looking for a foster home where he can comfortably recuperate. He needs some additional vetting, but will soon be looking for a forever home.

Bug fans! Our beloved Mr Bug has a medical issue. He has recurring lump on his leg, that has been previously drained, but needs to be surgically removed. This is scheduled for next Friday 2/17. Surgery, especially for senior dogs, is always accompanied by risk and expense. Mr Bug is such a magnificent fellow and we are dedicated to his care and comfort.

Friends, this is PeeWee. He is a remarkable 15 year shih tzu cattle dog! And he's looking for a new FOREVER HOME. PeeWee is healthy and energetic, he's friendly and gets along with dogs and cats. He enjoys long walks, companionship and a meaty bone! He does not like to be left alone, and barks pretty incessantly in that circumstance. He would not be appropriate in a home with neighbors who might complain! If you're looking for a smaller senior dog, who just wants to go go go with you everywhere, consider PeeWee. He has a ton of love to offer in an adorable package! for more info message me or email [email protected] please like & share this post til we find this guy the perfect situation! visit johnsonssanctuary.com #dogs #seniordogs #dogrescue #seniordogrescue #dogsanctuary #seniordogsanctuary #adoptdontshop #fosterdogs #mrbug #dogsofinstagram #dogsinretirement #retirementhomefordogs #smallwood #wurtsboro #brothersvintageandvariety

For my birthday, I received this “Land of Oz” rotating water globe by the Bradford Exchange complete with a certificate of authenticity, from my friend Bob. Bob is a neighbor I met when he heard about the senior chihuahua Baby Girl, that had come into our care. At 69, Bob is also a senior. Like me he is an avid animal lover. Bob currently shares his home with 3 chihuahua’s and half a dozen cats. Plus, he cares for feral cats around his home, many of whom he’s helped catch for spaying and neutering. AND there is a herd of deer that know Bob as a ‘deer’ friend who treats them to corn with molasses and cookies year-round. Bob credits his wife Gail, who passed away 6 years ago, with being the real animal advocate. He also credits Gail with sending me and the little dog he calls Gailsie to him. I’m grateful to Gail for that. I’m lucky to have a friend like Bob; a Bronx born and bred Italian, who’s had many colorful adventures. Bob once shot a man in the leg, for beating a dog. He went to jail for 3 years. I don’t judge. A couple times a week, we run errands together (mainly to get pet food and supplies) and he fills me in on all the gossip and all the history of our neighborhood. We have a good time. Gailsie is living her happily ever after, Bob has a good friend right in the neighborhood, all his animals benefit, and my life is enriched by having them in it. It’s all more than I expected! Happy Birthday to Me! Your donation to Johnson’s Sanctuary goes a VERY long way. I personally guarantee that. We just want to do MORE! Please support us in any way you can!

Just over a month ago, I shared a post about a mama cat and her five kittens that we helped place with our dear friends Jamie Harrold and Vadim Maslov. Here's a glimpse of what they are like now! 24/7!
