HAPPY NEW YEAR ! I hope everyone is doing well and I'd like to thank you for all the cards and donations over the past month.It's been wonderful hearing from everyone! So what's new? Most of the dogs are doing well. We've lost a few but have also had an addition to our rescue family. So let's start with our newest family member!

Shelby our new dog

Shelby arrived November 13, 2022. Her owner refused to go into assisted living until she found a home for her 14 year old dog. I suspect she is a Lab/Pit mix but she just acts like an old Lab. In other words, she fits right into the Old Dog House family!

Toby

Toby got an eye infection so I started treating it with antibiotic eye drops. It got worse so off to the vet we went.Turns out he has an ulcer in his eye and the vet gave me different eye drops.They didn't fix things either so we went back to the vet who recommended removing the eye. That surgery is scheduled for 1/25/23. Wish us luck!

Rainbow Bridge

Dudley

Dudley made his final journey over the Rainbow Bridge November 25th. He had been part of the Old Dog House family for 12 years and 5 months. Not bad for a dog who, we were told by the shelter, was 9 years old. He was our 133rd rescue back in 2010. He was super loyal and was the official " Old Dog House greeter" throughout the years. RIP my boy. You are missed

Liberty

Liberty passed December 19th after having been here for nearly 3 years. She and I bonded very quickly after she screamed like a banshee outside my bedroom door the very first night she was here! I gave in and she spent every night on my bed for the rest of her life. RIP Liberty, I loved you so much.

Gizmo

Gizmo arrived December 8th 2022 from a lady that could no longer care for him. He was in pretty bad shape so off to the vet we went! His teeth were rotten so the vet pulled a bunch of them making it easier for Gizmo to eat. After receiving good food and a warm soft bed, he initially improved. But after 28 days, he stopped eating and responding. Sadly, I took him to the vet where it was determined that there was nothing else that could be done and he was helped across the bridge. Gizmo was 16 years old.

Liberty and Rosie

Lilly is enjoying her sweaters this winter. She has really come out of her shell and I am thrilled with the progress she has made. While she is uncomfortable with a lot of affection, she is a really happy old girl!

Last year Gus didn't want a sweater on and really got vicious about it. I guess he trusts me more this year. He hardly fought me at all.

Last but not least Dixies play area one day after I piled all her toys in the toy box. She loves her toys.

Our mission at the Old Dog House is to provide a loving, secure, comfortable home to elderly dogs, where they can live out their lives and be appreciated for the sweet souls they are.

I hope you enjoyed our newsletter. Thank you so much for your continued support. With gratitude, Sindy Andersen The kindness one does for an animal may not change the world...  But, it will change the world for that one animal!
