Seniors and Special Needs Dogs
We Have Special Needs ... Can You Help??
As a rule, GRROWLS does not put adoptable dogs on our website. We match each dog to the family that can best meet the dog's needs. This page lists only special needs dogs for adoption.
GRROWLS takes in quite a few Senior dogs (over age 8) and a few Special Needs dogs each year. These dogs deserve a home as much as any other dog we take in. But, those who adopt these special dogs are special people. They are folks who really want to rescue a dog. They put the dog's needs first. They adopt to give the dog a loving home for whatever time it has left and whatever help it may need to live happily. Those special needs may be met by medication or they may be the kind of guidance required by a deaf or blind dog.
The Uncle Sherman fund is available to help adopters of Seniors with any unusual medical expenses the dogs may incur. This fund, established by one of the founders of GRROWLS and supported by donations, is designed to make it easier to adopt a Senior dog.
Please read the testimonials and stories on this page, and if you think that you would like to join the elite group of folks who have already adopted Senior and Special Needs dogs from us, please click the link below and send us an email.

Samson is an approximately two and a half year old, 60 pound golden mix looking for his forever home. He is a very active, smart boy. He would do great with an active family or someone willing to do agility with him. Fine with other dogs and cats.

We aren't quite sure of Honey's age. We believe she is over 12. She gets along with everyone and needs a home to live out her remaining golden years. Honey does have a mammary gland tumor, but that doesn't stop her from playing or being the sweetest girl. If you think you can give Honey the home she deserves, please send a completed application to adoptions@grrowls.org or fax to 877- GRROWLS
