Forever Fostered Dogs

At Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary, every senior dog deserves comfort, safety, and unconditional love — no matter their medical or behavioral needs. We always prioritize their overall well-being and compassionate decision-making.

Our Forever Fostered Program combines hospice care and long-term fostering for dogs who are not adoptable due to terminal illness (such as advanced heart disease) or special behavioral needs, including a lack of social skills.

In loving foster homes, these dogs spend their golden years surrounded by compassion, dignity, and care. We are committed to giving them the best life possible, and always prioritizing quality of life — comfort, dignity, and well-being — over quantity.

Honey Bee

Honey Bee came to us in 2022 from a hoarding situation. We soon learned she was not good with other dogs. As she started to lose her sight, new people became scary to her. Unfortunately, only a few volunteers (known as her "hive") can safely interact with her. She is now a permanent sanctuary resident where she receives all the care she needs.

Dove

After her lifelong owner passed away, 13-year-old terrier mix Dove came to us having lived a very quiet and sheltered life. The world outside of that was simply too overwhelming for her. Despite lots of love and gentle support, Dove remains extremely shy and sensitive; she feels safest with her foster family & doggy companions. While she hasn’t progressed to being adoptable in the traditional sense, she's thriving in her own way — enjoying sniffaris, cozy naps, and a life filled with love.

Mini

Mini is a 16-year-old Shih Tzu who came to Forever Loved after her owner moved into memory care. When she arrived, she needed extensive dental work, treatment for an oral infection, and additional medical care. Recently, bloodwork has shown age-related changes that have led us to transition her to comfort-focused, palliative care. As one of our Forever Foster dogs, Mini will continue to receive everything she needs to stay comfortable, happy, and surrounded by love for the rest of her life.

Bailey

Bailey came to Forever Loved at 12 years old with significant vision loss from cataracts and elevated liver values. She found the perfect Forever Foster home with Bob, and after his passing, his daughter Amy lovingly continued caring for her. Today, Bailey is blind, experiencing age-related cognitive decline, and has several chronic medical needs, but she continues to enjoy a safe, comfortable, and deeply loved life.

Audy

Sponsored by Derrick & Tracyann Mains. Audy is a super sweet 13-year-old Chihuahua. Xray and a full exam discovered a significant heart murmur, enlarged heart, and significant arthritis due to prior front leg breaks that never healed correctly. Audy's spirit is strong, and enjoys each day to the fullest in his forever foster home.

Bella

Sponsered by Ed Gebelein and FLPS alum Sammy, Bella is incredibly sweet and gentle — she seeks out affection and will happily sit for treats, melting hearts wherever she goes. After recent syncope episodes and with a significant heart murmur, she is no longer a surgical candidate and will spend the rest of her days with a devoted forever foster, surrounded by love, comfort, and care.
