IAMRA's Sanctuary Sweethearts

Sanctuary Sweethearts at IAMRA are dogs that for various reasons – usually old age or extreme medical needs, or both - are deemed unadoptable.  So IAMRA will provide them with their forever homes.  We locate the appropriate “furever foster” home for them, and provide for ALL of their needs, from special food, meds, supplements, and vet visits, to toys and chews and treats and anything else they need to make their twilight as perfect as can be. This of course can be quite expensive.  A bag of prescription or special food alone can be nearly $100. And all of our Sanctuary sweeties need extra vet visits – and almost always extra treatments and meds for what ails them.  Most if not all are on special supplements, for joint care, liver or kidney support – whatever each individual dog needs.  Anyone who has had an old dog, knows how expenses can climb in their twilight years. We’ve made a promise to take care of these special senior souls – most have had not so great lives until coming to us. So it is important that they not only know love and kindness, but also know physical comfort in their old age. Please consider helping to sponsor one of our Sanctuary Sweethearts, or make a one time donation to help with their care. Many thanks to all who help these sweet old souls!

Chance

Picture
This is 13 year old Chance. He was adopted from IAMRA 10 years ago, when he was just three years old. After 10 years, his people unfortunately had a lifestyle change that required him to be returned to us. At IAMRA. We always stand behind our dogs, so Chance came back to us as a Sanctuary Sweetheart (due to his age).He is a sweet old gent, doesn’t see too well, doesn’t hear too well, but loves his beds and naps!
Would you like to sponsor Chance? He eats a high quality food, gets joint supplements and medication, and of course loves his treats. Any donations towards his care is greatly appreciated.
​

Our thanks to Kim & Tess, for giving him a wonderful Sanctuary home for his twilight.
