This Senior Dog Sanctuary Celebrated 12 Years With A Dog Prom

April 15, 2024

In the heart of Tennessee, Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary has been a beacon of hope and love for senior dogs for the past 12 years.

This incredible nonprofit, funded solely by donations, provides a loving foster home for senior dogs while also covering their medical expenses. To mark their 12th anniversary, the sanctuary decided to celebrate in style with a unique and heartwarming event: the Geezer Gala Senior Prom.

The Geezer Gala Senior Prom was a night to remember. Each dog was dressed to the nines, with ties and dresses adorning their furry bodies.

But this event was more than just a fun night out; it was also a fundraiser to support the incredible work that Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary does. Thanks to the generosity of supporters and attendees, the Geezer Gala Senior Prom raised an impressive $125,000.

These funds will go directly towards caring for the 500+ "Old Friends" currently in the sanctuary's care, ensuring they continue to receive the love, attention, and medical care they need.
