Below are the current residents of Old Dogs Go To Helen. Old Dogs pay for all the medical and comfort care these dogs need until they pass on. While they are with us they undergo any treatments, diagnosis work, surgeries, and more to meet their needs. Not to mention a never ending supply of chicken nuggets!
PLEASE NOTE - WE DO NOT ADOPT ANY OF OUR ANIMALS OUT. We are a sanctuary and they are here to live out their days in peace and happiness. We highly support adopting senior dogs from your local animal shelter or check out https://www.savingseniordogsusa.org
Gracie is around 13 years old. She is on the shy side but loves to sit between your feet for pets. She will be seeing the vet shortly.
Prometheus was found as a stray. He was barely able to keep his hind end up and had such severe entropy in his eyes he could barely see. He is between 3-6 years old, he has very warped rear legs and he can’t do stairs, but we’re going to give him everything he needs to enjoy every moment.
Sweet Tumbleweed saw the vet today for her condition. It’s likely IVDD but we cant rule out neuro issues either. We’re starting her on a course of steroids to hopefully bring some relief and our next step is to see a specialist.
String cheese - old chi with hind end issues. She maybe slow moving but she still is excited to welcome anyone who visits.
Rye - very old chi with collapsed trachea, she is one of the happiest little chi's you will meet.
Jess - senior chi with bad heart, tinny has a large lovable personally
Jumbo- Old crazy eyed male chi, who loves to paw at your leg if you don't say hello fast enough for him.
Jasper - senior terrier with bad heart, and a lot of attention and love to give. This sweet, bouncy guy still acts like a pup.
Kenobi was lovingly surrendered to us for all the right reasons and is the sweetest boy. He absolutely loves every person and animal he meets so he’ll be at our events with Breezewood soon.
Sweet Ruby is a senior papillon with a very large mass on her abdomen. She has seen the vet and it turns out to be a lager hematoma that she has had for years. It is not causing her any pain as of now but we will be keeping and eye on it. She is such a bundle of joy and we are happy she is here to be spoiled.
Chippy and Dega are 11 year old brothers. They are happy go lucky guys that seem to fit right in with their new old dogs family.
Daisy is a12 year old quite girl. She is settling in and enjoys some one on one time walks.
Ellie and Andrew are 14 year old bolognese are extremely bonded and are settling in slowly. They have been very loved and are absolutely loving going on walks and watching the coming and going of the space. Take all the time you need kids, the nuggets are here when you’re ready!
Toby and Sophie,
Toby is a digger and Sophie is a snuggler and they are settling in just great!
Thank you Together Dog Rescue (who also brought us Lily) for getting them to us and letting us spoil them.
Gunner the 9 year old Yorkipoo is a spunky boy who loves to snuggle. She loves his new Old Dog family and we love that he is here.
Margi is tiny but mighty, full of sass but incredibly sweet, likes to play but then wants to hide. She is a 10 year old Chihuahua with some behavior needs and we are more than happy to help her be her best self here at ODGTH. She’s settling in beautifully.
Nora is 9, and recently lost her amazing mom, one of her last wishes was to make sure Nora was well cared for and loved. We of course, said yes. Her mom passed shortly afterwards and Nora was by her side until the end.
Nora was born with two normal back legs but deformed front legs. She has one front leg that is about 3/4 the way developed and she can hop on briefly but she spends most of her time
