R E S C U EFrom where do we rescue our senior dogs?It all begins with the rescue. Citizen Canine Senior Dog Rescue dogs come to us through a variety of channels. Some dogs come to us through other rescue organizations with which we partner. In shelter placements, older dogs are less likely than younger dogs to be adopted. Sometimes, the shelter may become a long-term situation or, depending on the shelter, the dogs' length of stay might ‘expire’ and they may ultimately be euthanized. In other cases, senior dogs are surrendered by their owners who can no longer care for them, for example, because they’re moving. A dog may also be found as a stray. These are only a few of the many ways that senior dogs come to our attention.
|
P L A C E M E N TWhere do the dogs go once we rescue them?We are not a shelter in the sense that there is a central location that houses dogs. Instead, our dogs come home with us. ‘Us’ is foster parent/families or Citizen Canine Rescue staff. Foster parents/families are vetted by Citizen Canine Rescue. They are animal lovers with huge hearts and an uncommon devotion to protecting and caring for animals. Our dogs stay with their foster parent/family or staff while we find them them a happily-ever-after home. An adoptive parent/family is vetted vigorously to ensure that all senior Citizen Canines that pass through our doors are cherished and safe.

AdoptInterested in becoming an adoptive parent/family of a senior Citizen Canine? We look for people who are uncommonly devoted to animals and who have a unique love for, and commitment to, dogs, in particular, senior dogs. The adoptive parent/family is vetted vigorously for their commitment to becoming a senior dog owner, undertaking all related responsibilities, and in general, providing a warm, loving, and safe home environment for their new pet. Because our senior Citizen Canines go directly from their foster home to their new home, we generally have limited information about their personality, potty training, comfort level being left alone, physical activity needs, etc. While we make every effort to make the best adoption match possible based on what we do know, nothing is guaranteed. So, we ask for your patience with your new dog.

FosterInterested in becoming a Foster parent/family for Citizen Canine Rescue? We look for people with an abundance of good will, heart, commitment, and devotion to animals. If this includes a love for senior dogs in particular, all the better! Citizen Canine Rescue must know that their senior dogs will be loved and kept safe with these individuals until another person or family that is just as kind-hearted comes along to offer them a permanent home.
