No, they are not old dogs....but they are senior/hospice animals who needed a soft place to land.
We would like to introduce you to the Old Dog Farm Crew!
These Old Livestock rescue animals live along side our resident farm animals to give them company and peace in their final time. We are over joyed to welcome all animals in need and watch our OLD family grow. These animals receive the same love and care as the Old Dogs.
All the medical and comfort they need until they pass on is paid for by Old Dogs Go To Helen. While they are with us they undergo any treatments, diagnosis work, surgeries, and more to meet their needs.
All donations go towards ALL the senior or hospice animals in our care
She is a spunk little potbelly pig who needed a soft place to land.
Gremie the male is so overweight and covered in scabs. His skin is peeling and red and inflamed. His feet and tusks are so overgrown.
Lucy has terrible skin, large cuts and open wounds on her from living with so many pigs and having arthritis. She has a hard time standing.
Both of them were living off bread and had their first real meal

Both of them were living off bread and had their first real meal with bananas and watermelon for lunch.
They have been living in total mud so our first order was a cool bath, some skin treatment and then a large bed of hay to rest in.
This gorgeous girl lost her whole flock to a coyote and was then wandering alone. She’s now got so many new friends and once she’s through with quarantine she’ll be free ranging with everyone else!
He is a 30 year old Appy mix who was losing his home and his mom wanted a safe place for him to retire and live out his day in the sun. He’s settling in beautifully.
She is a curious older girl who needed a soft places to land. She is just the cutest and fits right in with her new family of goats.
He is a 25 year old Percheron mix who needed a soft place to land with nothing expected of him. He will get all the TLC he deserves. We are over joyed to have him here and can't wait to learn more about him with time.
She’s pregnant and due in a month or so we think. She’s incredibly sweet and she will have her own area while she decompresses. We are happy to welcome her and her new family to the farm.
Nutmeg is a sweet girl, who was abandoned and needed a safe place to go. She was injured when she came to us and very scared. We believe that she is young and will come around with time.
He was born with a deformed leg and can't walk well. He is out special needs chicken so we built him a special ramp to get in and out of the coop.
These two rescue Rouen ducks
came to the sanctuary separately
but have fallen in love with each other.
You will see them waddling around the farm together and making sure all the chickens are behaving.
This little senior loves to lay around the house. She has a lot of old age medical issues going on. We will keep her comfortable for as long as she is with us.
Francis lived his whole life on one property and when his owners moved they left him behind. He was an old man but so sweet. He had cancer and his body was failing him. We are happy that we got to give him a happy ending.
Charlie was a 26 year old horse
from NHSPCA who came in
starved and neglected.
Charlie was a very special boy and
the beginning of our senior/hospice
Farm Crew.
He may have been deaf and mostly blind, old, arthritic and stiff, but he had a
heart as big as the sky.
Dolly was around 12 years old. She was blind but got around ok with the help of her new family of goats and a baby cow. She had a sweet gentle soul and was just happy relaxing in a quiet corner on the farm.
Moxie was a senior cockatoo
who came from the SPCA
He had a broken leg from a past injury.
This sweet old man can now rest easy.
Geronimo - fondly known as “Moe” to our ODGTH family. He was 28 years old and was once a wild mustang. He was pulled from the Goshute Valley at 3 years old. Moe was as sweet as he was beautiful and we will miss him.
This girl has experienced a lot in her life. She needed some serious TLC and we were happy to spoil her rotten. She lived out her days enjoying what it meant to be a pig.
