In Memoriam
Gone, But Never Forgotten
Each of these dogs were life-changing for our team members and added heart and soul into our sanctuary. We invite you to get to know the special senior dogs that our sanctuary family has rescued and loved over the last several years.
They’re the original PSDS crew, and the heart and soul of our sanctuary. They live with our leadership team and at the sanctuary and are quite a collection of lovable characters who keep us on our toes 24/7!
