About Us

Welcome to the Sanctuary

We volunteer our time to make sure senior and special needs dogs receive the care they deserve.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe and caring environment for senior and special needs canines. Through rescue, foster, adoption, education and hospice; we create secure nurturing homes for them to live out their twilight years.

Rusty’s Angels

Senior dogs can be sure to find a caring home inside the Sanctuary.

Most of our rescues come to us because their owner has passed away or has moved into a nursing home situation. As long as the dog is healthy enough to handle a transition into a new home then we do our best to find the perfect forever home. If the dog is not healthy enough then they live out whatever time they have left here at our sanctuary knowing unconditional love until the very end.

Our Goals

HERE AT RUSTY’S ANGELS SANCTUARY, OUR PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THAT
SENIOR AND SPECIAL NEEDS CANINES GET THE LOVE AND RESPECT THEY DESERVE.

Rescue

We house senior and special needs canines that have been displaced from their home until they are adopted or reside at the sanctuary.

Foster

We build a foster home network to help us rescue and house more senior canines until they find their forever homes.

Educate

We provide education to the public on the benefits that come with adopting and caring for aging canines.

Adopt

We find loving homes that will care for senior canines to live out the rest of their lives in the company of other human and animal companions.

Rusty was my first rescue

I adopted him at the age of “ancient”

He was pulled from the euthanasia list at the local county pound. He was skin and bones, deaf, going blind, had a mouth full of rotten teeth and so lost and scared. I fostered him for a while and ended up adopting him because I knew no one else would.

He taught me that animals don’t deserve to die alone after loving us for all their lives. He is why I want to give these dogs the ending they deserve and have earned. They deserve the unconditional love to the very end that they give to us from the first moment they meet us. I remember what an amazing “mess” Rusty was and how much he loved me because I saved him when no one else would. And I promised him that I would continue to help those just like him live out their twilight years knowing that same feeling.
