The Sanctuary For Senior Dogs
Is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, adoption, and lifelong care of senior dogs abandoned in shelters and pounds. All of our dogs live in Sanctuary-approved foster homes until a permanent home can be found. Senior dogs too ill or too emotionally fragile to be adopted stay in a Sanctuary hospice foster home for life. All senior dogs are spayed or neutered prior to placement.
At The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs, our mission is
To rescue senior dogs abandoned in shelters
To provide lifelong quality care for rescued senior dogs
To adopt appropriate dogs into loving, permanent homes
To develop programs that match senior dogs and senior people to their mutual benefit
To foster an awareness of our lifelong responsibility to our companion animals
To strengthen the bonds between humans and animals by teaching respect and compassion for all living things
As part of the Sanctuary's mission to respect all living things, we have served a vegetarian menu at our fund-raising functions since 2002. We do not believe that we should serve animals to save them. As of January 1, 2016, the Sanctuary has moved to a vegan menu at all functions. We have joined a growing group of animal protection agencies, individuals, environmental organizations, and others as endorsers of the Food for Thought program and encourage everyone to make compassionate choices. You can learn more about Food for Thought at www.foodforthoughtcampaign.org.
In addition, we support spay/neuter as the best solution to the overpopulation problem among companion animals and as an important part of health care for dogs of all ages. We, therefore, spay/neuter every senior dog before placement, and we require that all animals in the potential adopter's home be spayed or neutered as well. If a Sanctuary dog is too ill to be safely spayed/neutered, that dog will not be adopted out; he will remain in a Sanctuary-approved Forever Foster home for life. We believe that, while dogs can be too ill for spay/neuter surgery, age is not necessarily a reason to rule the surgery out. Before we alter any senior dog, our vet draws blood work to check overall health and takes x-rays if warranted.
We also firmly believe in the intrinsic worth of old dogs. To that end, we provide hospice care for dogs in end-stage illness, providing them with love and comfort for whatever time they have left. Our therapy dog program clearly demonstrates the worth of old dogs. We train appropriate old dogs to give back to the community that supports them. They share their joy and gentle natures with those in need of comfort in nursing homes, schools, colleges, hospitals, group homes, and libraries.
Although we cannot accept every old dog in need, we do not euthanize for space or time; all Sanctuary dogs have a place with us for life.
DANIELLE KAGY
Danielle Kagy (Soprano) is a 4th year Vocal Performance major with an emphasis in Vocal Pedagogy at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. Throughout her undergraduate journey, she has brought characters to life on stage, performing in a variety of operas and concerts. Her notable roles include Damigella (L’incoronazione di Poppea), Edith cover and sister chorus (The Pirates of Penzance), and most recently, Venus (Orpheus in the Underworld). This spring, she joins the chorus as a soprano for the Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival’s performance of Handel’s Messiah.
Beyond performance, Danielle is interested in vocal research, currently exploring the perceived effects of hormonal birth control on the professional voice. She plans to continue this work in graduate school while pursuing a Master’s degree in Vocal Pedagogy, with the goal of shaping the next generation of singers through private instruction and continued research.
