Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary

Jack, Bella, and Elvis are three seniors that have lived the majority of their life together. Their owner is now moving out of state and cannot take them along. Due to their age, the owner was going to euthanize, but when Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary was ask to help we stepped in and offered to give these three a home to live out their final days.

THIS IS A CAGE/KENNEL FREE TRANSPORT
Give LOTS of ear scratches and tummy rubs during your leg of the transport!

Be prepared for the transport. We recommend having a slip leash or collar and leash that is well fitted for the dog, puppy pads, fluffy blankets, treats, water dish & bottle of water, and a change of clothes...because you never know when an accident may happen.

Send pictures of the dog (s), everyone LOVES freedom ride pictures!

Keep in touch, let other drivers and the transport coordinator know if you are running late to the meeting point, and we can make adjustments as needed. 

Please don't use tobacco products (including electronic cigarettes) in the vehicle while transporting a dog. Tobacco is very toxic to dogs and many are very sensitive to the smoke.

We know it's hard to say no when they are begging, but please don't give human food to the dog(s) being transported. Food that is too rich for their system (that is already stressed due to the transport) can make them very ill. Preparing with a variety of dog snacks will make the senior you are transporting feel just as spoiled. We won't tell them it's not really a French fry.

Please allow the dog(s) being transported to ride shotgun or be a back seat driver. Many senior dogs have arthritis and get very sore riding in kennels or crates. Putting a blanket down in the seat allows the senior dog(s) the ability to readjust as needed to be as comfortable as possible. Many times a soothing car ride will lull them right to sleep, others may be preparing for that American Idol audition with you. 

Lastly, NEVER EVER EVER, leave the dog(s) you are transporting alone in a vehicle. Unattended dogs in cars are very dangerous and irresponsible. Seniors are very susceptible to the dangers of heat and cold; also, car upholstery and padding has been known to spontaneously explode when a dog is left in the car alone unsupervised. 

Thank you for being a part of this dog's story, and journey. You are a true hero to the seniors who call Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary their final home.
