Sanctuary Residence and Lifelong Guardianship Programs
GENERAL PROGRAM - IN FISCAL YEAR 20/21 WE SERVED 46 PETS AND 41 PEOPLE THROUGH THE SANCTUARY RESIDENCE PROGRAM AND THE LIFELONG GUARDIANSHIP PROGRAM. AT THE PET COTTAGE WE PROVIDE HOMESTYLE CARE FOR PETS WHO LOSE THEIR HUMANS TO DEATH, DISABILITY, OR DEPLOYMENT. OUR SIGNATURE PROMISE MEANS PETS WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE HOME, CARE, AND LOVE THEY DESERVE FOR LIFE. IN THE LIFELONG GUARDIANSHIP PROGRAM, A PET, TYPICALLY A SENIOR PET (AGE7+) IS PLACED UNDER THE CARE OF A GUARDIAN, TYPICALLY A SENIOR PERSON IN THEIR HOME AND FOLLOWED FOR LIFE. WE COVER ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES AND CHECK IN PERIODICALLY WITH THE GUARDIAN THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE PET AS OUR COMMITMENT TO EACH PET IS TO ENSURE ITS HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. WE SPECIFICALLY SEEK PETS WHO BECOME HOMELESS DUE TO THEIR OWNER'S DEATH, DISABILITY, OR DEPLOYMENT. MATCHING THESE PETS WITH A GUARDIAN REDUCES THE NUMBER OF SENIOR PETS FORCED TO TRANSITION ( QUITE BEWILDERINGLY) FROM THE COMFORT OF YEARS IN A LOVING HOME TO LIKELY LIVING OUT THEIR REMAINING YEARS IN A SHELTER OR BEING EUTHANIZED.BY PLACING THEM UNDER THE GUARDIANSHIP OF PEOPLE, PRIMARILY SENIORS WHO NEED, DESIRE, AND BENEFIT FROM THEIR COMPANIONSHIP, THE PET LIVES THE REST OF HIS LIFE CARED FOR IN A MANNER THAT HIS OWNER DESIRED. THIS ARRANGEMENT BENEFITS THE PET, HIS OWNER, THE GUARDIAN, THE SHELTER, AND OUR COMMUNITIES! WE ARE UNIQUE IN THAT WE MAKE A PROMISE TO THE PET THAT HE/SHE SHALL HAVE A HOME AND A LOVING COMPANION FOR LIFE. WE DO SO BY FOLLOWING EACH PET IN ALL OUR PROGRAMS FOR THEIR LIFETIME AND COVERING ALL VETERINARIAN EXPENSES INCLUDING MEDICATIONS. THIS INNOVATIVE ASPECT OF OUR PROGRAM NOT ONLY REMOVES THE OBSTACLE OF FEAR OF A LARGE MEDICAL EXPENSE, THEREBY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF POTENTIAL GUARDIANS, BUT ALSO ENSURES THAT OUR PROMISE TO THE PET FOR HIS WELLBEING IS KEPT. IN THE SANCTUARY RESIDENCY PROGRAM, THE PETS HOME IS AT THE PET COTTAGE. PETS WHO BECOME SANCTUARY RESIDENTS ARE THOSE WHO WOULD NOT BE EASILY PLACED WITH A GUARDIAN IN THE COMMUNITY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2020 – Sep 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$62KProgram 1 [2025]
We served 58 pets and 49 people through our Lifelong Guardianship Program. Our signature promise means our pets will always have the home, care, and love they deserve for life, no matter what. In our Lifelong Guardianship Program, pets live on site at our Sanctuary or in the home of a Forever Guardian. Sanctuary pets have special needs and therefore require more supervision and medical care. Our Sanctuary pets spend their days inside our main house or cottage. They have access to couches, beds, toys, and our grassy dog parks. They receive walks and visits from our volunteers. At night, they sleep in crates or in the covers of a human bed. We take pride in thecare our pets receive. The other pets in our care live in the home of a Forever Guardian. The Forever Guardian provides daily exercise, love, and attention, and a safe place to call home. The Pet Cottage covers all veterinary expenses, provides wellness checks, and pet loving community.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2024 – Sep 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––
