I had rescued an old stray dog (Stella) from a rural shelter in New Mexico. I didn’t realize she was pregnant, and since I have trust issues, especially with people who only want puppies, I decided to keep them. Well, now they are all old, so they qualify as residents of Little Old Dog Sanctuary. Melody is kind of a jerk. Her hobby is picking fights and stalking Lolly. But she is Fig’s only friend and spends a lot of time cleaning his ears, so I guess she’s not all bad. Melody loves to eat and has a thyroid issue so she tends to be a bit on the bigger side (but we know it’s not polite to comment on bodies). She was first born and my son named her Melody after Melody Pond from Doctor Who. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/d1ffee16-eef0-42a4-8542-ef6ca488d550/smokey+joe.JPG Our Residents - Smokey Joe Smokey Joe was actually born here at the Sanctuary along with her siblings, Lulu and Melody. I had rescued an old stray dog (Stella) from a rural shelter in New Mexico. I didn’t realize she was pregnant, and since I have trust issues, especially with people who only want puppies, I decided to keep them. Well, now they are all old, so they qualify as residents of Little Old Dog Sanctuary. Smokey Joe has many frenemies here. Bob and Hamlet the main two. He’s kind of a bully, but Hamlet is too, so he gives him a run for his money. Smokey’s favorite thing in the ENTIRE world is to be sung to. Happy Birthday is his favorite tune. He goes absolutely crazy over it. So we pretend like its his birthday at least once a month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1599007440584-2Y4DZ9DO81YB45BZ0N6L/Lolly+profile.jpg Our Residents - Lolly So Lolly is a tiny little thing, about three pounds at the most. But her personality is about three tons. She is spoiled, entitled, and adorable. I was recently reading a book that reminded me of Lolly. It was called “The Girl with the Louding Voice” and never has there been a better description for anyone or anything. She loves to bark. In your face and really, really loud. She knows she’s too tiny and cute to be punished. She also loves to howl. And it’s the most horrible thing you’ve ever heard. Lolly is about 12 years old and was found as a stray wearing a coat that was too small and had rubbed all the fur off her legs, belly, and chest. They had to cut her out of it. She is also missing all of her teeth. She’s never eaten a meal out of her own bowl. She steals bites and morsels out of everyone else’s bowl. I guess this is a carryover from her days of foraging as a stray, or probably more likely, just her beautiful mean girl way of showing everyone else she can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510106643548-YZZ7OF93KUITI5DTIKH3/Fig.JPG Our Residents - Fig Fig is our youngest dog. He’s about five. Being a Chihuahua means he is crazy. Being a Chihuahua with a brain injury means he is off-the-charts psycho. Kicked in the head as a baby by some lovely person, he was seized from said lovely person, hospitalized and then taken to the shelter where he was subsequently adopted. His adoring new parents, who promised to love and cherish him forever, apparently spent most of their time chasing and threatening him in an attempt to housebreak him. When they weren’t doing that, they were trying to forcibly restrain him so they could clip his nails. I guess all of this quality time got old, and they dumped him back at the shelter after a few short months. So much for forever. I said no to taking Fig five times. But when he ended up on the euthanasia list I caved. Fun fact: I suck at saying no (though I practice on my husband frequently). If I say no once, it’s a pretty safe bet you just gotta ask again. Or four more times, as in Fig’s case. Fig is super-sweet – loves to be cuddled and held, but he’s highly unpredictable. He has shrieking spells where even he is left wondering WTF. He’s terrified of bananas, will kiss you and then bite you in the span of a fraction of a second, pukes when nervous, sucks on your finger, rolls in disgusting substances to make himself more interesting, and has seizures. His head is misshapen, and his tongue hangs out for no apparent reason, but when he curls up into a tiny ball to sleep (like a psychotic gerbil) your heart will almost burst from the adorableness of it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/a9774184-046e-4c7d-bb13-aacb76351f9d/bob+balls.jpg Our Residents - Bob So, if you are unfortunate enough to land at the Sanctuary during December, you get a Christmas-themed name. I LOVE Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, (Erik HATES A Christmas Carol because he worked in theatre for most of his life) but I know he’s wrong, so here’s Bob Cratchit. (We’ve also had Dickens, Ebenezer, and Martha…you know, “it’s such a goose, Martha”…and we currently have Topper for those keeping track. We can’t have Marley because it’s the most overused dog name in history, and my brother-in-law’s name was Fred, so that’s a no-go. I do have a tarantula named Tiny Tim and two Euromastyx lizards who are The Fezziwigs, but I digress). Okay, so I was told by the shelter that Bob was a sweet, old poodle. Well, he is sweet, but that’s about all that was true. He’s actually a wirehair dachshund mix, and he’s very young. But I LOVE him. He’s funny, sweet, super friendly, smart, and affectionate. Sometimes I feel like when I get a young dog by mistake, it is just the Universe giving me a little reward…you know, like a dog that might not drop dead in the next week. The reason I know Bob is young is that he still has his testicles, and they are as firm as sugar plums. Most old dog testicles are more like the shriveled raisins you find in Aunt Bertha’s stale fruit cake. And the beautiful thing about Bob? He loves showcasing his balls. All the time. In every photo of Bob, he shares his most glorious attributes. Unfortunately, at some point, they’ll have to go, but we will let the world see them first. I’m sharing this one photo, but if you find yourself wanting more, you’ll have to subscribe to his Only Fans account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510107502583-QXA0Z9FSK8JPK8T551RC/Hamlet.JPG Our Residents - Hamlet Hamlet (or Hami as we like to call him) is n 8-year-old mutt. Put in a box at eight weeks old, driven to the desert, and abandoned, his life didn’t start out so great. Then Animal Control found the box. So that was great. Hami is one lucky dog. He suffers from Cerebellar Hypoplasia, meaning his brain stem isn’t fully developed so he suffers from constant tremors and instability (probably why he found himself in a box in the desert). Think of a drunken toddler. That’s Hami. Despite his disability, he is fierce. He is always up for a fight…he is the bravest dog I know. He’s small but thinks nothing of taking on our 185-pound Great Pyrenees; he is very strong and can pull himself up on the couch. Like those old-timey weight lifters with huge pecs and arms but with tiny waists and shriveled legs. He can't do stairs. At all. He throws himself off furniture like an acrobat. The only time he is still is when he is completely asleep. Like all of us who were traumatized in our early years, and have an anxious attachment style, Hami shows his love by biting. Specifically biting your shins when you walk into a room. Friends of mine know this and wear protective gear when visiting. As the Def Lepard song goes, Loves Bites. Indeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510105792789-HRXJXUELHZFRS1N43C1F/Chester.JPG Our Residents - Chester Chester is a 18-year-old Chihuahua. He is tiny…like three pounds. The kind of dog little girls dream about. He came from a hoarder where he lived outside with 70 other dogs. He survived the winters by crawling underneath the other dogs to stay warm. Sort of like Luke Skywalker getting inside the tauntaun’s warm carcass. When he was rescued he had a stick that was duct taped to his leg, which had been broken but had also healed. Chester loves to pee on everything. Beds, pillows, other dogs, guests. When he doesn’t feel well he climbs into the kleenex box on my nightstand. He refuses to have his nails clipped (making him look a bit like Mr. Burns when he rubs his long skinny fingers together and says “Excellent”). Chester can make your ears bleed with his bark. However, his real gift is that when he begs he can cry real tears. Sara McLaughlin and the Humane Society have nothin’ on Chester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/283fe491-d2f1-4d3d-b956-0d018a2e5a44/Priscilla.JPG Our Residents - Priscilla So when I rescued Priscilla (many years ago) she had been picked up for like the tenth time by animal control. Her owners decided they just didn’t want her back this time. Until they found out she was pregnant. Then they decided that they wanted the puppies, but not her. People are fucking evil. Luckily, the shelter said no way to that request. Priscilla was probably only about three when we rescued her, but now she’s about 13. When we got Priscilla we made her this amazing whelping box but she proceeded to have her babies in my bed under the covers instead. We adopted all the puppies out - worst experience ever - puppies bring crazy people out of the woodwork. Priscilla is smart and sassy. She sees herself as a big dog and likes to be outside (probably why she was always running away from her previous home). She has acres to roam here, so it works out well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/178fd6dc-f4d0-4597-b735-da3c9ebf7bb3/38EC37D8-5324-4AC4-8954-A7DF5A62CEAC.jpeg Our Residents - Mabel Mabel is the sweetest of the sweet. We call her Maple because she’s as sweet as maple syrup. She came to us from an abusive situation. When we got her she was terrified of us and the other dogs. She would sleep in a bed way across the room and would often hide her head under a blanket when she was stressed or scared. She is particularly scared of the floor cleaner. Or any kind of cleaning…making her my spirit animal and also giving me a good reason not to clean. It took her years to come out of her shell and start to interact with us. She’s about 13 years old and is completely blind. She has become the emotional support dog to other blind dogs here, like the late Irving and Story. She’s a total anomaly because she’s a chihuahua, yet she’s not a total asshole. IYKYK. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/6e8b1aa6-4d6a-499c-969a-fb0ce9fde6c2/Lulu.JPG Our Residents - Lulu Lulu was actually born here at the Sanctuary along with her siblings, Smokey Joe and Melody. I had rescued an old stray dog (Stella) from a rural shelter in New Mexico. I didn’t realize she was pregnant, and since I have trust issues, especially with people who only want puppies, I decided to keep them. Well, now they are all old, so they qualify as residents of Little Old Dog Sanctuary. Lulu is very smart. Like way smarter than all the other dogs here. She’s also a milkbone junky. And Sparky is her dealer. Lulu is also a prepper and will never go hungry when the apocolypse comes as she has about 1500 milkbones buried in the house and yard. They are literally everywhere. She is smart enough to where if one of the other dogs have a bone she will create a diversion and while the other dogs are investigating, she’ll steal the bone. Smart girl. https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/partners daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/6d889de4-7d11-44be-9a1a-fc8acbfea21d/jasper+monday.jpg In Memory - Jasper 3-years-old Jasper was born here at the Sanctuary. He was the runt and never quite right. He died suddenly from a heart defect. He was a sweet, happy-go-lucky little guy and my heart breaks that he died so young. If I could bring any dog back, it would be Jasper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/99628495-d3bf-45cd-833a-af6471196ff8/image-asset.jpg In Memory - Lenore 15-years-old Lenore was just as crabby and crazy as she looked. She hated people and hated beds and blankets. She would go to sleep curled up in a ball in the middle of the kitchen floor. We used to have a fox that would sit for hours looking through the kitchen window at Lenore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/f8a0859c-a513-4214-a7fa-fe700aac01df/Lucy.jpg In Memory - Lucy 13-years-old Lucy came to us from California. She had the WORST case of dementia I've ever encountered. She had no idea who she was, where she was, who we were. She died of a brain tumor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/900412f7-9224-40d6-bc63-89633a0b2c34/IMG_2813.jpg In Memory - Birdie -years-old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510364723996-6OLKXLNVF4RIQ6SD0UZ1/Mildred.jpg In Memory - Mildred 14-years-old Mildred was one of my heart dogs. She had a disorder that caused her legs not to work very well. So I carried her everywhere. She died of heart failure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1599007930060-IURQX5L6NQWK0NEAZDSN/PandP.jpg In Memory - Pru and Pearl 12-years and 14-years-old Pru and Pearl were a bonded pair of old labs that I rescued as a birthday present to myself. Pru was super shy when we first got her, but she started following me around and rubbing her head all over me. She loved treats and I gave them to her often. She died of insulinoma. Pearl was so sweet. She was blind, but super friendly and loved the little dogs. She was patient and kind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/35910795-bc6b-4b20-97ad-c2835f41ea8b/6C3C7CD4-7E1A-48C7-B4BA-99839B94C7A4.jpg In Memory - Lillie Mae -years-old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510166314765-DKRDP28A50XBANOIUPQX/Betsy+pic.jpg In Memory - Betsy 17-years-old Was a breeder at a horrible puppy mill in Texas We ended up rescuing her son Orville and daughter Zelda She lived in the cabinet in the kitchen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510167025431-FF42MIVQ50RY8RDQ7BLY/Clementine.jpg In Memory - Clementine 13-years-old Clementine was a three pound Pomerianian.

Wish I would have had a DNA test done on him He loved food and made what we called his "lovey noises" while eating. He was mostly blind, every time you reached for him he would open his mouth to be fed like a baby bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/71d5693a-49fc-4ee9-8f0f-5208b1baf157/Hershey+pic.jpg In Memory - Hershey 14-years-old Hershey was dumped by his family and never really recovered.

He had such a big personality. Lovey came to us after his owners found out he was terminally ill and dumped him at a shelter. He lived here with us for about two and half years before he died. Lovey suffered from extreme seizures, but was such a fun guy. He loved to give hugs, play with his stuffies and eat veggies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/889084e4-857a-4996-a387-631d01e6c13b/IMG_0527.jpg In Memory - Bunchie -years-old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/36af6d59-2a09-4d2e-b5b0-aec9be1330b1/Possum.jpg In Memory - Possum 12-years-old Possum was left in an apartment when his owners moved out and decided not to take him along.

He was named after John Elway from the Denver Broncos. He wasn't allowed on the furniture in his old house, so he spend his days going from one chair, couch, bed to another at our house He was mean and bit everyone, but not my son Oliver. He was never anything but gentle with him. One year he ate three dozen triple chocolate cookies off the kitchen table that were for my annual cookie exchange at work, I thought all that chocolate would kill him but he was just fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1529424756579-KNI7C1787NAFW1L5RE25/Lolita.JPG In Memory - Lolita 6 years old Lolita was the love of my life.

He was so matted that they couldn't see his eyes. When they shaved him they discovered both eyes had ruptured. Howard befriended another old, neglected blind dog named Willoughby. They spent their days snuggling together and sleeping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/d807dff6-1ad6-4cae-b06d-08ceb8053683/seymour.jpg In Memory - Seymour 14-years-old Seymour came from a horrible puppy mill where he was severely abused. His jaw and tail had both been broken. He was the most fearful dog I've ever encountered, but he warmed up to me. We were madly in love. He had many illnesses, ehrlichia, vasculitis (resulting in his ears and tail having to be amputated) disc disease, etc. I can't express my love for this guy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1510366222416-216D9S7RU463ABVNAKUF/image-asset.jpeg In Memory - Stanley 18-years-old Stanley is one of the great loves of my life. I feel like I've always known him. He was blind and suffered from seizures. He ate baby food and was always crusty from it. We will always be together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/3c39fac0-f169-491f-9a99-9296cf969a04/Zelda+for+site.jpg In Memory - Zelda 18-years-old Zelda came from a puppy mill.

But I loved him fiercely. We got him after he was found in a house with his owner who had been dead several days. He had a taleent of sniffing blood. We always knew when another dog had a tumor or injury.

We were told she would probably only live six weeks or so when we got her. She lived five years. She had a "special meal" before bedtime. She would jump and hit you in the back of the legs until you fed her. She didn't want you forgetting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1566507783526-057W5K5UQ0BU3NNFCO7O/Rudy.jpg In Memory - Rudolph 16-years-old Rudy was one of the sweetest, loving dogs we’ve ever lived with. He’s right up there with Coco and Melvin. Rudy had a hard life before finding us, but here he was worshiped. We kept him wrapped in warm blankets from the dryer and let him eat all his favorite treats. Rudy was only with us about three or four months. We still feel his absence, but also feel lucky he was in our lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1534374306968-VD4H2LHNBHHGGNTMGERD/image1.JPG In Memory - Chuckie 15-years-old Chuckie was a little min pin who came to us after his owner died. He reminded me so much of Simon, with those giant ears. Chuckie suffered from dementia, so I'm not sure I ever knew what he was truly like. What I did know of him is that he was very sweet, loved his little bed in the bathroom and his favorite thing was milkbones. https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1511801802035-WX9MKQB51XAW0AQG9KCX/chester+fuzzy.jpg Contact https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/faq daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1511275157073-LIAC5PSH0MSNBKU9I2LH/Valentine%27s+Day+010.JPG Donate https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/how-to-help daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a01d516c027d86107eaa3e5/1511228867051-AMBGXPYLD965R5FZBKN9/Willoughby.jpg How to help https://www.littleolddogsanctuary.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us
