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.

Even though Ginger, an 11 year old lady, may walk a bit stiffly, she is a happy girl with a wagging tail and sweet golden disposition. All she needs is the loving attention of owners who will spoil her and give her the time she deserves. She will do best in a quiet home where she can be the center of attention. Despite being diabetic and requiring insulin two times a day, she is in good health. She will give back all the love she gets from a new owner—a very special girl. If you think you can give Ginger the home she deserves, please send a completed application to adoptions@grrowls.org or fax to 877- GRROWLS
