Our Story

Old Dog House began with Benji, a sixteen-year-old dog abandoned by his family. When Pam and I brought him home, he changed our lives. In 2004, we founded Old Dog House to give elderly and unwanted dogs a secure, comfortable home for life.

Pam was the heart of the shelter. Her work helped fund its beginning, and together we spent eight years rescuing 155 senior dogs. They lived in our home, shared our lives, and became our family.

In 2012, Pam passed away at home at the age of 66, surrounded by me and the dogs she loved. After losing my partner of fifteen years, I chose to continue our work alone.

Today, I carry forward the life we built together. Old Dog House has cared for 264 senior dogs, providing food, medical treatment, soft beds, and love during their final years.

We are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported entirely by public donations. I can continue the daily work, but I cannot carry the cost alone.

If you believe Pam’s work deserves to live on, please consider making a donation. Your support will help me keep the home we built together open and ensure that the senior dogs who reach us are never abandoned again.

Please donate today and help me continue the promise Pam and I made together.
