Till death do us part
Why people choose to abandon their aged dog after he has given them many years of faithful companionship is beyond us.
If you are interested giving an aged dog a comfortable home for the rest of his life, we’d love to hear from you.
Albury Dog Rescue will pay any vet fees. You would be fostering the dog on a long term basis so no strings attached.

We started this group in memory of Grandma, an aged Kelpie bitch who was abandoned in the pound. Trish could not tolerate this lovely old girl dying unloved in the pound so she took her home. The vet gave Grandma three months to live as she had tumours and a heart murmur.
Grandma spent the next year as a family member, loved and cared for and died peacefully in her sleep on the Australia Day weekend.
Old dogs are quite unique, wise, quiet and with all that experience under their belts, they quite often have hilarious ways of getting what they want, owning them is a very rewarding experience.

The demise of Old Tom
Old Tom was a true gentleman among the dogs of the world.
Sadly today, 22/4/10 we had to call the vet to put him to sleep.
We only had him for 12 months, but in that time he touched the hearts of all our family.
The excitement and joy on his face when we came home, riding on the back of the six wheeler motorbike, trips in the car or ute, trundling after us through the paddocks, nudging up close for a cuddle or pat, these were the things he loved to do.
He tolerated our staffy licking his face, I happily got up in the middle of the night when he wanted to go for a wander.
Anything we gave to him was returned tenfold by his unconditional acceptance and love for us.
I will miss you greatly old boy, I will still listen for you in the middle of the night and watch for you when I come home.
Sleep peacefully.
Love, Mary
PS. Anyone considering fostering an old animal, don’t think about it, JUST DO IT!
