Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, located in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, has launched a month‑long partnership with local businesses to celebrate National Senior Dog Month. Starting November 1, participating merchants will contribute a portion of their proceeds to the nonprofit, giving residents a simple way to support the sanctuary’s senior canine residents.
How the partnership works
Each day in November, shoppers who patronize the featured businesses can feel confident that part of their purchase is earmarked for the sanctuary. The donations will go directly toward feeding the dogs, covering veterinary expenses, and providing specialized therapies such as laser treatment and rehabilitation services that help the older animals maintain a good quality of life.
Director emphasizes the mission
“It’s really all about the dogs, as it needs to be. Around the clock, we are feeding the dogs, making sure they get the medical attention they need, we also have rehab, so if they need laser therapy they get laser therapy; and making sure they have a great remainder of their lives here at the sanctuary,” said Tony Martino, director of business & culture at Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.
Ways to get involved
In addition to shopping at partner locations, community members can visit the sanctuary’s website to learn about other donation opportunities, volunteer schedules, and upcoming events throughout the month. A live interview with Megan Scarano, the station’s reporter covering the story, is available online for those who want a deeper look at the sanctuary’s work and how their contributions make a difference.
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary has long been a haven for senior dogs that are often overlooked by traditional animal shelters. By partnering with local businesses, the organization hopes to raise both awareness and essential funds, ensuring that these loyal companions receive the care and respect they deserve during their senior years.
Residents are encouraged to check the sanctuary’s calendar for additional ways to support the cause, including donation drives, adoption events, and educational workshops. By uniting the community around a shared love for animals, Mt. Juliet continues to demonstrate the strong family values and compassionate spirit that define the area.
