A senior dog sanctuary in Scottsdale recently accomplished a landmark achievement.
Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary hit 1,000 rescues earlier this fall when they took in Buddy, a 10-year-old Havenese mix who came to the shelter after his owner could no longer take care of him.
“It’s a little hard to wrap my head around 1,000 senior dogs, but I’m incredibly proud of our organization, all of the volunteers, foster homes, board members, donors, all who have made that possible,” founder and executive director Luisa Chocron said. “Without every single one of them, it wouldn’t be possible. So it’s pretty incredible and I’m really proud and I hope all of those who have been with us along the way are proud of it as well.”
