Grand-Paws mission is to rescue primarily large breed senior dogs who’ve been abandoned. We rescue from local high-kill shelters and let them live out their lives in our sanctuary or in one of our wonderful foster homes: happy, safe, and loved. When appropriate, we attempt to find permanent, loving homes for them. However, we choose the large breed seniors because they are less likely to be adopted from the shelters. People don’t realize the joy you receive from rescuing a senior dog. Seeing an old dog renew some of their spunk when they’re given proper nutrition, exercise, and love is extraordinary. They may be a little slow, hard of hearing, have deteriorating eyesight, and a graying muzzle, but there’s still charm and dignity in these old dogs yet. Despite their condition they never feel sorry for themselves. Young or old, they all have so much to offer and so much love to give.
1. Select the dog you are interested in. 2. Speak to a volunteer about the process. 3. Fill out our adoption application form. Note: Filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption. 4. Upon acceptance of the application, we set up an appointment to visit your home to confirm that everything is secure and safe for the dog. We also do animal introductions. We then deliver the dog to your home. No dog is ever taken directly from our adoption program without the home check. 5. The adoption process is complete only when a contract is signed and duly executed, the dog is delivered to your home, and the adoption fee is accepted by an authorized agent of GRAND~PAWS SENIOR SANCTUARY. 6. We offer a lifetime return policy. If you are unable to keep this dog, you MUST return the dog to us.
