Updates From SDS!

Celebrating Val. Bingo is here. Adopt a senior.


February is here! It's a special time for us at the sanctuary as we celebrate Val Lynch's birthday on February 14th. He would have been 85. In honor of his incredible legacy of providing senior dogs with a haven, we are matching every donation up to $5,000, thanks to our board member, Barbara Spiegel. Help us reach and surpass our goal this month to celebrate Val and support our senior dogs!


Our upcoming events include an adoption event at the PetSmart in Glen Burnie on February 1st, a Vida Taco Bar Fundraiser the week of February 14th, and Winter Bingo on February 15th.


Adoptions have slowed since the holidays, and SDS is reaching capacity. Please contact us if you are interested in fostering or adopting one of our dogs. Find out more on our website, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

Loving Lenny

We laid our beloved senior, Lenny, to rest last month. He was diagnosed with heart failure in November, and we knew our time was limited. Lenny was one of the best pups, bonded with a brother named Dempsey. They made the sanctuary their home after their beloved owner passed away. There wasn't a toy Lenny didn't love, or a day of rough-housing with Dempsey he ever passed up. Like a true 90-lb dog, your lap was his favorite place to sit to get cuddles.


Our staff and volunteers are devastated, but we are working hard to ensure Dempsey is comforted with treats, love, and walks as he grieves the loss of his brother. We know things like this happen, but they never get easier.


The rainbow bridge gained another beauty, Val. Show Lenny the way home.
