Small Senior Paws Retirement Village Since 2014 SSPRV has been providing older/hospice/hard to place small senior dogs rescued from puppy mills and shelters a loving, forever home.

We are located in Peyton Colorado. Many dogs are rescued from puppy mills and other unfortunate circumstances but not all are able to find a loving forever home in a timely manner. Some rescued animals are terminally ill. Others are skittish, nervous and/or fearful. Others are so old that they are consistently passed up for adoption. These dogs need an environment where they can get love, attentio

n, and proper medical care so they can live out their days in a home instead of a kennel where they can learn what it is to be a dog. One that is safe loved and cared for. If dogs are in a kill shelter, they may end up euthanized for no other reason than they did not find a home before their time was up. Those in no kill shelters may spend months on end in a kennel environment. Granted it is in a better environment than where they came from, but they deserve better. Small Senior Paws Retirement Village provides its residents with a home situated in the scenic countryside of southern CO. There are no kennels or runs to keep the dogs isolated for no reason. There is, however, space available to separate dogs as needed by utilizing different rooms in the house and gates. As it is important that the dogs get along, dogs are screened on a case-by-case basis to be sure they can assimilate into the pack without incident. Due to the nature of the facility, space is limited so new dogs will be added as space permits. Although Small Paws Retirement Village is designed for dogs, placement for cats may occasionally be considered, again on a case-by-case basis. All dogs are treated as members of a family. They are provided with medical care as needed including checkups, vaccinations, dentals, medication as required and emergency care if/when necessary. The dogs are fed a quality diet twice a day, provided with healthy treats and are groomed regularly. They are provided with a comfortable living environment including lots of beds, sun porch, a doggie door to a secure covered grassy outdoor area, and two other secure outdoor areas where they can get lots of sun and exercise without risk of them getting in harms way.

Thanks for all of your concern for Lonnie. He is starting to act more like himself.

Update: Based on the responses so far I better start working on the 2025 calendar. 😍

Did you know we do offer calendars? A

We will, in the near future have a 2024 calendar available. This is NOT a fundraiser. It is my way of thanking you for supporting us and remember us throughout the coming year. We basically offer it at cost. I hope I can get them on sale from Vistaprint like I did last year. The prices then, on sale (about 50% off), ranged from $10 to $14 plus around $6 shipping. I don't know what they will be this year. t the beginning of each month I post the calendar photo on this page as the cover photo so you can get an idea what the calendar looks like.

I am hoping to do it like last year where you could pick what size calendar you want (desktop tent style, small wall, and standard wall) and have it shipped directly to you. With any luck I hope to find a way where you can order them yourself.

For those of you that know me, know that I am waiting for the best deal for all of us. I won't pay an outrageous price for a calendar and I don't want you to either.

I am curious as to how many people might be interested in one or more 2025 calendars. Please comment or message using the button below with the number of calendars you might want to order.

NOT TAKING ORDERS YET. I will let you know when I have more information.

Thank you to the people that sent us items from Chewy including gift cards!

Thank you Mindy for coming over today and helping by sorting all of the auction items here at the village. You saved me a ton of time and some of the sanity I have left 😻.

It is my hope to get all of the packages sealed, weighed, measured, mailing labels printed, and packages labeled so they can be shipped out Monday morning.

For all of you who are waiting on the items you won that are here at the village, thank you for your patience.

16/11/2024

If you won and item and did not get a donor notice that means it is here at the village. I hope to mail them out by Monday.

15/11/2024

All donor notices have been sent out so auction donors, please check your junk folders if you don't see them. Thanks

Thanks to our new Volunteer Susie, today she and I conquered some much-needed cleaning that needed to be done. Tonight or tomorrow morning I will start notifying donors that have auction items that it is OK to start sending them. The winner will be copied on those emails. Thank you for your patience.

All of us here at the village are blessed to have Cori as a friend. Cori works for the post office six days a week. On the seventh day, she doesn't rest. She comes here to the village just about every weekend to love on the dogs and to groom.

Yesterday was her day off because it was Veteran's Day. Cori came here. As I was organizing information from the auction at the computer, Cori bathed eight dogs. That is about 1/3 of the dogs here at the village. Here are a few photos of some of the dogs that feel so much better after their spa day.

The residents here love their Auntie Cori and she has become a great friend to me. It really does take a village and Cori is a big part.

Thank you Auntie Cori.

Look who is feeling better after a day at the vet getting IV fluids and antibiotics. Jolie is asking/telling me to hurry up and get her dinner! 😍

Hi everybody. It's me, Evelyn. Thanks for your prayers last night. I'm doing better this morning as you can see. Mama is letting me post to tell you not to worry or count me out yet. I've got a lot of energy and am nowhere ready to leave here yet. XO, Evelyn

Sorry (not sorry) for talking with my mouth full. Mama is so excited that I ate three times today that she wanted me to share... Mama says I ate close to 1 1/2 big cans of food and about two dozen Charlee Bear grain free treats (that she broke up into little pieces for me). She is hoping that I keep eating like a little pig. Have a good night everyone. XO, Cami

Cami update: Cami has been eating the same food and a good quantity for a few days now :-)

Cami is making progress

Cami ate a decent dinner and is now playing with an elk antler. Thanks for all of your prayers and kind words! Sugar is on the couch, McGee is next to Cami, Wendi is behind McGee, and Marcia is in front of Cami.

Warning: If you have dogs, mute before you play the video. (I forgot to do that before I played it and it took five minutes to quiet down the dogs and they were listening to themselves 😆) Lonnie eats in the laundry room to the right. He prefers to go in by himself... The funniest part is that he is pretty low key the rest of the time. Have a good night everyone.

This is the morning ritual with Elf the cat and Charlee the Yorkie.

Jack’s walking
Jack’s walking

Jack is making a lot of progress. He only fell over twice and was walking around for about 5-10 minutes. He’s a little lopsided because he just got his daily dose of fluids, which made him a little bit more unsteady. He can now get in and out of his little bed in the family room by himself.❤️ PS. If you’re seeing captions, I have nothing to do with them and I don’t know how to stop them.

Our newest resident, McGee is adjusting well. He is one happy boy. I was out with the three dogs and saw McGee on the other side of the enclosure. He wags his tail with joy a lot. He is at the "sniff my finger" stage but isn't thrilled about being pet yet. Behind McGee is Bethany, the second newest resident. She has made herself at home, has found her voice and loves being pet. Both of them are at the door to greet me whenever I get back from running an errand. ...and yes I did pick up the poop in the background soon after the video

I finally got a video of Charlee playing with Elf the cat. Elf let me know when he had enough. I watch them carefully whenever they are together and I remove Charlee when Elf has had enough.

Our Story

Many dogs are rescued from puppy mills and other unfortunate circumstances but not all are able to find a loving forever home in a timely manner. Some rescued animals are terminally ill. Others are skittish, nervous and/or fearful. Others are so old that they are consistently passed up for adoption. These dogs need an environment where they can get love, attention, comfortable beds, and proper medical care so they can live out their days in a home where they can learn what it is to be a dog instead of a kennel. A home that is safe where they are loved and cared for. If dogs are in a kill shelter, they may end up euthanized for no other reason than they did not find a home before their time was up.

We do not adopt out. All dogs are treated as members of a family.

The dogs are fed a quality diet twice a day, provided with healthy treats and are groomed regularly.
