Senior dogs for seniors program rescues senior dogs from area shelters to train, rehabilitate and incorporate into senior citizens lives for the physical and mental health of the seniors.  Our program will help bring love and companionship to senior citizens living on their own.  The need is high as most seniors do not qualify for a trained service dog.  Our dogs are calm, trained and easy to handle and can bring companionship to lonely seniors.
