Cayleb's Kindred Senior Dog Rescue

Montana!

Meet Smokey, a 14½-year-old Malamute and certified happy old man. At his age, Smokey moves a little slower and appreciates a gentler pace. He is arthritic, has some trouble hearing and seeing, and will need patient care and regular grooming to keep him comfortable.

Even with those senior changes, Smokey still has a cheerful spirit and plenty of love to give. He would thrive in a calm, understanding home where he can enjoy soft beds, easy routines, gentle affection, and the peaceful retirement he deserves. Smokey is looking for someone who sees the beauty in loving a senior dog and is ready to make his golden years truly golden.

**Update: Love Muffin is in a hospice foster now through another rescue. PLEASE consider filling out a foster application now so we can approve you and have you ready to jump next time. We must have an application and home visit done before we can allow someone to foster. State licensing rules. It's super easy. Find it on EAPL.com and watch our feed for some other senior dogs that need out of the shelter!**

**Hospice Foster for Love Muffin Needed**

This beautiful 7 year old girl came into Denver Animal Shelter as a stray. She has several masses, the largest is inflammatory mammary cancer. She also has very severe dental disease. 💔

She needs a soft place to spend her remaining days. EAPL will pay for all her medical, food and supplies so we can get her out of the shelter and into a loving home.

She is good with dogs: https://youtu.be/QwaZdtNvmdM

Can you be the one to give her love and safety? Email us at [email protected]

Jackal (my fospice dog) and I are in town visiting from Montana, and while he’s not super thrilled about the warm weather and city life, Jack is very happy to be involved in Tuttle’s training (training = treats!).
We’re currently working on getting Tuttle to alert less on walks. While he’s made great progress before now, it seems that having Jack accompany him is helping Tuttle feel a lot more secure. He’s been able to greet new dogs in the neighborhood with little-to-no dachshund grumbling! Well done, Tuttle, and thanks for the helping hand Jack!

Adoptive or forever foster home needed!
Are you in the market for a 20lbs hound dog who will cuddle with you on the couch, accompany you on walks around the neighborhood, and pre-warm the sheets when it’s time for bed? Well, look no further! Tuttle is a darling 13 year old dachshund mix who came to us as a stray out of Pueblo, Colorado.
There is nothing Tuttle loves more than being near people. Want to watch TV? He’s the perfect shape to squeeze in between you and the couch armrest. Need to go run errands? Tuttle is happy to hop in the car in a crate (safety first!) and keep you company. Want to go for a stroll in a rougher part of town? Tuttle will be your personal security guard- in classic dachshund fashion, he’s always ready to howl at anyone who looks sketchy (and those who don’t, he just likes howling).
Tuttle would do best in a home that has experience with dachshunds and anxiety. He’d love to live with someone who is retired, works from home, or is otherwise home often. He does well with other dogs after proper introduction and has politely interacted cats while out walking, but is still untested with indoor cats.
If you are interested in adopting or forever fostering Tuttle, please email us at [email protected]!

Dorothy knows that the best way to stay warm during the winter is to cuddle up with a friend. How are all of you keeping warm now that we finally have snow on the ground? ❄️
