SENIOR DOG SANCTUARY OF MARYLAD 

A Sanctuary built to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome seniors

May is officially FurRescue Fashion's anniversary month, so we chose a rescue that is very special and close to our hearts: The Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland, a beautiful organization located very near to where we live and where I (FurRescue Momma) personally volunteer at. So for the months of May, we will be donating 30% of everything we make to this wonderful nonprofit.

Having 3 senior dogs ourselves, we value the Sanctuary's mission to provide a safe haven for senior dogs who cannot be cared for by their owners, are abandoned or abused, or face euthanasia.

The sanctuary has provided a safe, loving home for over 900 dogs since 2015, when it was founded by Val Lynch, a retired Air Force Colonel, with a passion for helping old dogs in need. While Val sadly passed in 2020, his legacy is lasting and because of him, senior dogs now have a place to feel safe until their forever home is found. There is an Indian proverb that says that at the gates of heaven stands every animal that a person has encountered in their life-time. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross through the gates of Heaven. We can only imagine all the joyous barks when Val arrived at those gates.
