Forever Fosters
Peke N Chin Midwest is proud to introduce a new program for their Forever Fosters. Forever Fosters are dogs that are deemed "unadoptable".
Unadoptable dogs are those that are either severely disabled (with blindness, deafness, or lameness), unable to be properly socialized, or too old by the standards of most adoptive families.
Though it seems improbable that these dogs will ever find a home to call their very own, euthanasia is not an option.
We feel strongly that despite their special needs, whatever it may be, these dogs should live out the rest of their lives in a safe and loving home
and to be cared for with the respect and dignity they so richly deserve.
It is for this reason that Peke N Chin Midwest has established the Forever Foster Program.
In order for us to maintain the best quality of life for our Forever Fosters, we require additional assistance in the form of donations.
The donations we receive through our Adoption Program can never cover the medical expenses we've accumulated for the care of rescued dogs.
Please consider supporting our cause and our Forever Foster Program.
Your financial gift will help us continue to save many more dogs, and to provide our Forever Fosters a life of ease and contentment.
Can't afford to give, but would like to help out? How about providing a permanent home for one of our Forever Fosters? We would waive the adoption fee and cover all medical expenses.
In essence, our dog would remain with you while the program takes care of his or her medical needs, and you enjoy the special blessings of your precious special needs or senior dog while remaining responsible to the program in regularly letting us know how the dog is doing.
To get started, please fill out our Volunteer Application. To learn more about our permanent foster program, don't hesitate to contact Regi Goodhall.
| Would you like to make a tax deductible donation to our General Medical Fund or to sponsor one of our dogs? Make sure you make a notation how the funds should be used, as a Buddy Donation, General Donation or to Sponsor a Pet - no amount is too small! |
I can't hear as well
but I can listen with my heart.
Cashew is a happy, bright eyed little girl. She's about 11 years old and can't see or hear very well, but that doesn't stop her from smiling a lot or loving cuddles. She enjoys her walks on a leash with her foster mom in the woods. She sure is pretty - the Marilyn Monroe of the senior dog set! If you would like to help with Cashew's continued care, please sponsor her with a donation.
Thank you!

My vision is not as clear
but my devotion never fades.
Allie is a 10 year old female Pekingese that was rescued from a neglectful situation where she was not cared for properly and spent most of her time in a garage. She just had surgery to fix her eye lids. The doctor says she’s mostly blind, but that doesn't keep her from giving really great kisses! She will have to stay on a tear-producing ointment for the rest of her life along with artificial tears a couple times a day. The cost is minimal and she’s totally worth it. Allie is looking for a permanent home of my own with someone who will love and take care of me.
Thank you!

I won't always be here
but I will never say "good bye" only "see you later".
Noni is a grey-faced 10 year old, female Pekingese. She is a special girl with a severe heart murmur. She needs to be on two kinds of medication and appears to be content, but her foster mom suspects that she's trying to hide some of her discomfort - a survival instinct in animals. Because of her condition, she can not be spayed or have a dental to clean her teeth. The vet is afraid that she may not do well under anesthesia. The plan is to keep her happy and comfortable. Hopefully, she will have many wonderful days ahead, but if not, at least we can be assured that her remaining days will be full of love and goodies. If you have any questions about her or want to learn more about her special needs and how you can help, please contact us.
Thank you!

I came from a Puppy Mill and lived many years in a cage,
but I am home now.
Pops and is a white and cream, senior male miniature Poodle. He is looking for a permanent home of my own with someone who will love and care for him during his golden years. Pops has no teeth and therefore needs special attention at mealtime. Pops needs a quiet home without children. He sired many puppies in his life and is now ready to retire in a calm environment with soft pillows and good food. If you have room in your heart and home for good-natured fellow, please contact us.
Thank you!

The Senior Dog
Do you have room in your home and heart for an older dog?
Consider the following reasons why adopting an older dog is a very good idea:
- Older dogs, especially those that come to us, settle in easily and are more than ready and willing to bond with you and your family.
- What you see is what you get with older dogs. They've already grown into themselves in all ways.
- An older dog probably won't need a great deal of exercise, and will really appreciate quality time with you and a good nap. And of course, your socks and underwear will remain intact.
- Older dogs generally like to watch the same programs on TV that you do, so you won't have to learn to enjoy cartoons.
- Many older dogs have already experienced rides in the car and walking on leash, so they're instant companions and ready to continue those activities with you.
- Older dogs have figured out what humans are all about and are willing and eager to add new information to their knowledge of human behavior. Old dogs can absolutely learn new tricks!
- Older dogs are very grateful for the second chance they've been given and are very good at giving and receiving love.
- There's absolutely nothing like the smile you get from older dogs, especially dogs that haven't felt like smiling in awhile, but now have reasons to smile because you love them.
- Older dogs are looking for human companions who will value their wisdom and their slow pace. They have their very own special appeal.
- When you adopt older dogs, you can erase any unpleasant past experiences that they've had by loving them and caring for them.
It doesn't get any better than that!
"She is such a special little dog and it makes me wonder how many dogs get overlooked because of age or a limp, and it's just sad to me.
I hope that more people consider an older dog when they feel the time is right to get a dog." ~ Michelle (Bunny's Mom)
The inspirational and heart-warming story of Bunny, a senior dog who doesn't know that she has limitations, can be found on our Success Stories page.
