Meet Sammie

Sweet Sammie is the inspiration for our sanctuary…

Sammie was our first family dog. She was our wild child, always ready to play soccer, chase down a ball, and run like the wind. Sammie loved all humans and was the best big sister to her dog siblings. She had back-to-back knee surgeries by the age of 3yo but recovered quickly and remained active for many years after. Over time, Sammie became deaf and blind. Her old bones started to choose a warm bed over playing ball, but her devotion to her family never wavered. She was truly our good ol’ girl!

Sammie was 15yo when we held her for the last time. It was an honor and a privilege to care for our Sammie, especially in her golden years. Which is an act of love too many older dogs do not receive. The amount of dogs over the age of 7 that are abandoned or surrendered, solely for their age is truly heartbreaking.

We established Sammie’s Senior Dog Sanctuary to care for those seniors. We know age is never an indicator of the love they have to give. We are dedicated to their well-being and making sure their time with us is safe, stress-free, and full of compassion. Robin is a registered veterinary technician (RVT) with several years of experience caring for all animals and is Fear Free certified. Our family has spent the majority of our lives loving our pets unconditionally until their remaining days.

We are Sammie’s Senior Dog Sanctuary - Where old dogs come to live, again.
