My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sweetie! A 40lb Pittie mix with a big heart. Sweetie is about 8-9years old. Unfortunately Sweetie has not had the best last few years she was chained up outdoors on a short chain with little food and water. Thankfully she is doing much better now and gaining weight! Sweetie is happy and playful and loves attention from her people. She does well with other dogs but can be bossy with them at times. Sweetie is up to date on her vaccines, microchipped, spayed, and heartworm negative. She is back to a good weight and feeling great! To meet sweetie apply at barkingwishesseniorpets.org

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based and volunteer-run rescue, with a small sanctuary space for senior dogs who are unadoptable or in need of lifelong hospice care. Whether they’re with us for a short stay or for the rest of their lives, they are family.

We specialize in saving senior dogs who are often the first to be passed over and the last to be helped. Our dogs come from:

Scary, overcrowded shelters where they’re at high risk of euthanasia
Homes where their owners have passed away or entered long-term care
Situations of neglect, abandonment, or urgent need

They may come to us broken, scared, or sick—but they leave knowing love, safety, and peace.
