Dash...one of our Red Ribbon dogs.
The St. Louis Senior Dog Project is a not-for-profit dog rescue organization specializing in older dogs but taking in and finding homes for dogs of all ages...even puppies. Meet and adopt your new best friend 11 to 3 Saturday/Sunday, January 28 and 29 at the Kirkwood Petco near I-44 and Lindbergh. To see which dogs will be there as well as other adoptable dogs (and to check out our Red Ribbon dogs, go Here.
We have great news, so if you know a senior citizen (60 years or older) or if you are one, keep on reading.
The Purina Pets for Seniors program has awarded us a grant which we can use to cover the adoption fee for selected dogs when they are adopted by senior citizens. We hope we'll make some senior citizens happy and place some of our older dogs.
Dash, above, is a very laid back yellow lab mix, an easy dog to have around.
Or if you're more interested in something small, here's Bitsee, a poodle 8 to 10 years old.
And here's Hazel, a miniature pinsher mix 8 to 10 years old.
Or maybe Maddie, who is about 8 years old and also enrolled in a program that will provide her with free vet care at the Stray Rescue clinic.
Other Red Ribbon dogs are Roxie the dachshund, Einstein the poodle/terrier, Dolly the shepherd/hound mix, Milo the poodle, Button the rat terrier, Marley Bear the pomeranian, Paul Stanley the Rottweiller, and Chessy the poodle mix. So you see we have them in all sizes, and we may be adding some more. And we may be adding more.
Check out the pictures on our website and you'll see all our Red Ribbon dogs.
Our grant will help us place 10 to 14 dogs, so don't delay. Come and see our Red Ribbon Dogs weekends at the Kirkwood Petco, or call/email with questions about the ones you find interesting.
We do add that if you are one of those seniors who can easily afford our adoption fees that you pay the fee and leave the assistance for someone else.
Thanks. And good luck to all our Red Ribbon dogs.
