[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Maybe you have asked yourself this question. [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I hope this new thread will become a list of resources for mobile lovers of dogs, their friends and families who are researching options for the ongoing safety, comfort and compassionate care of elderly dogs. CRVL members are welcome to share or describe [font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]additional arrangements and places to ensure [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]ongoing care for our furrie friends.[/font][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]This first entry was originally posted as a reply, under another thread within the forum Life On The Road > Traveling With Pets. I am taking the liberty of also posting it here as 1 source of[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] care to consider for our dogs "later on" - hopefully much later on[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Peace of Mind Dog Rescue ([font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]P[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]O[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]MDR). [/font][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]PeaceofMindDogRescue.org[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]A non-profit organization "For Senior Dogs and Senior Owners."[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Per POMDR's web site:[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]"Who will care for your dog if you no longer can? Our mission is to be a resource and advocate for senior dogs and senior people on California's Central Coast."[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]This group finds appropriate homes for dogs whose senior people will have to part with their canine companions, POMDR also rescues dogs whose senior owners have already become unable to care for their dogs or have died, leaving an elderly dog without its primary person.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Peace of Mind Dog Rescue goes to great lengths to keep this population of usually older dogs well cared for and absolutely NOT sent to a place that will euthanize the dog. [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]POMDR volunteers carefully match[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] these often difficult-to-place pets with appropriate experienced people in private homes, not kennels. Not the rock stars of the rescue world, senior dogs show their age. They may be slow, unsteady, confused by loss and changing homes; they may have medical conditions requiring needs thus medications or treatments; no spring chickens, most of POMDR'shave already lived most of their years. These dogs do not go to people for whom they will be the first pet. Rather, Peace of Mind volunteers carefully choose a person or family already experienced with dogs of different ages - care givers who know that older dogs need to live out their lives in peace, with special care, love and compassion.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]If a dog arrives at POMDR and its permanent home is still being chosen, Peace of Peace of Mind volunteers take the dogs into their own homes and provide foster care for the dogs until a suitable final home is matched to the dog.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]The organization's whole purpose is in its name. They know how important it is for people who must relinquish their dogs to be absolutely sure that their dog will always be loved and cared for, as they deserve. [/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]The volunteers' dedication to older dogs' lives often gives the dogs' owners the reassurance they need to relinquish their adored dogs.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]If you know of someone who needs information about this kind of assistance, even if they live nowhere near California, please encourage them to contact peaceofminddogrescue.org and ask a POMDR staff member [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]about similar services and options closer to the owner and/or dog in need.[/font]
