PETALUMA, Calif. (KRON) — The last week of October is Saving Senior Dogs Week and this year the event is gaining momentum across the country.
Alice Mayn runs Lily’s Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary in Petaluma. Of the countless animal shelters and rescues across the country, only a small fraction focus on senior dogs.
“Well, we estimate, it’s not clear exactly how many senior dog rescues there are in the country, but I don’t think they’re more than 50. Probably 50, 55,” said Mayn. Thirty-two senior dog sanctuaries are a part of the newly formed group, Saving Senior Dogs USA. Their goal is to rescue the dogs others gave up on. [READ MORE]

Saving Senior Dogs Week is thrilled to partner with the New York Dog Film Festival™.

A portion of every ticket sold across the country will benefit all the participating rescues of Saving Senior Dogs Week. The Festival Premiere on October 24th kicks off SavingSenior Dogs Week, but, of course, the life-saving rescues and adoptions take place all 52 weeks of the year, as does the festival’s support of their work.

NY Times bestselling author, Jenna Blum, contacted Alice after speaking with Tracie Hotchner (NY Dog Film Festival) and learning about Saving Senior Dogs Week. Her new book, Woodrow on the Bench, about her senior lab, is coming out the same week as SSDW. She sent Alice a copy and it is fabulous. She is very excited about promoting SSDW on her social media and book tour. In return, we will be thanking her for her promotion and posting links to her book during SSDW. |

Today.com did an article about SSDW again this year, it is now LIVE at:
https://www.today.com/pets/quirky-dog-promotes-senior-pet-adoptions-saving-senior-dogs-week-t234719 In our social media postings during SSDW we use a format with an "Ambassadog" who introduces the stories throughout the day. The first story in the morning is the "Ambassadog" introducing him or herself and telling a bit about his/her story. Then he/she introduces the other dog stories and our sponsors throughout the day. The last post of the day is the "Ambassadog" coming back to say goodnight and tell the rest of his/her story. Apparently, the writer for Today.com likes the "Ambassadog" format and is creating a story around it.
