Every morning, 365 days a year, for about 8 seconds, the oldies space is spotless.

All pads are pulled up, vacuum, mop, wipe down, and then a whole new set of pads and a whole roll of white duct tape goes down to hold them down. Not only does this keep the space hygienic, it prevents odors, protects the floors, and absorbs moisture. It’s a LOT of work, but so worth it. Fresh food, water, blankets, start a Disney movie, and another day begins.

The pads we use can’t be added to our wishlist, but we ALWAYS need them. You can find them here -

And if you’d like to send us some, our address is 83 Range Rd, Epsom NH 03234.

This is such a labor of love and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one and only Meghan.

Every time you see a cool video or a fundraising flyer or an event posted. It’s not me that’s doing that. It’s Meghan. When Meghan first arrived at old dogs I had no idea what I was doing in terms of fundraising, events or anything really - other than picking up p**p and lots of vet visits. With her help, time and dedication, Old Dogs has become what it is today.

Her hard work and determination is absolutely unmatched and we’d be lost without her! Please wish her a happy birthday!

Thanks to you all, we got the oldies a new lawn today. We try to refresh it every year, and we like to get the pet grade one that withstands the abuse the oldies put on it. Not only that, but it’s so soft and perfect for rolling in (them I swear not us) This one is 7x12 and the amazing folks at Home Depot helped us cut it today.

Tonight during evening meds Jake and I sat outside with everyone and they are all so happy. We’ve had some tough losses recently and sitting out there tonight watching them all so joyful and peaceful was a huge boost for our hearts.

Thank you for helping us help them, and loving them from near and afar. They are so worth it

Last week was so hectic and busy, I didn't even have a chance to formally introduce this stunning boy.

Meet Jethro! This gorgeous white shepherd was lovingly surrendered to us last week. He is only 7, but had a neuter surgery when he was younger that caused constant urinary incontinence. As a result, he was living in belly bands and not getting what he needed. Despite rehoming efforts, they had hit a dead end, and knew he would deteriorate rapidly in a shelter. Not to mention, it's hard to find anyone who wants an 80lb dripping p*e all the time shepherd. Except us, because, well, we're a special kind of crazy.

I'm still always so humbled when OTHER amazing pet professionals refer their clients to me to help them. In this case, it was another amazing animal professional who connected them to me. The amount of trust it shows is not something I take for granted. It's an honor and a privilege to be their soft landing.

He's made himself completely at home. He is dog social, people social, loves the ball and thinks this whole living on a farm thing is pretty sweet. He stays in with the oldies during the day running security details so his leaks are no big deal and his skin can breathe, and comes in the main house at night with a band on. His ge****ls were so raw from constant bands and he's finally healing up. He went to the vet yesterday and has a UTI, and we’re treating that, as well as getting some specialist referrals.

Welcome Jethro!

Thank you everyone for your Makeitthroughmonday support!!! You all made it so I could sleep!

As a thank you, please say hello to Dozer❤️

Dozer was a recent transfer from our friends at Better Together Rescue. As an old man with breathing issues, skin issues and lots of arthritis, he’d been turned down by adopters and needed a soft place to spend his retirement. He arrived this morning.

This is the reality of rescue work. So many people see dogs like Dozer on social media and immediately “want” him, and then when presented with the level of medical support, potential short time span etc, it becomes something they cannot do. Which is fine, that’s why we are here. But the truth of this is that there aren’t enough of “us” - and we are FULL right now. Yet today alone I got 8 more requests to take dogs. Turning them away breaks my heart. I cant compromise the care and integrity of the animals already here by taking on more than Jake and I can handle. It’s just not fair.

There’s no where for these dogs to go. They deteriorate in shelters, who are overwhelmed as it is, and it’s not the shelters fault. They are doing their best too. We are a very small window into the crisis of displaced senior hospice dogs and it’s why I take criticism so personally. How can I not? We’re doing something here that the majority of people cannot or won’t do, and yet they will still find fault. Not only that, but we do this while running a business that pays the bills, raising children, out of our personal home and in our “spare” time.

Dozer now will know nothing but love and care and kindness, and your donations make that possible. Although between him and H***h honestly if drool was valuable I’d be able to sail Europe in a yacht by next week. It’s. Everywhere.

Welcome home kiddo. We gotchu.

Morning everyone! Say hello to Franklin❤️ he arrived last night and has already made friends - but let’s hope not trading secrets - with Chewy.

I’m labeling today Makeitbymonday.

Our bank account balance is currently $40. And I just learned NH gives funds won’t go into our account until the 25th.

Help.

We could use ANYTHING anyone can spare to make it by until then. Luckily the prescription food order has been made already, but we have vet visits and medication and supplies we need and even $5 would help.

If you can’t donate, I get it, can you share? We’re a small nonprofit here in NH offering soft landings to senior, hospice and special needs animals who come to us in their darkest hour.

Thanks all❤️
