This narrative describes a small foundation which was developed to support the care of elderly dogs. It provides a website with information that is helpful to owners of elderly dogs. It also provides limited financial payments to assist owners with the costs of medications, tests, and veterinary care. The Foundation has supported the care of 15 elderly dogs during its initial 24 months. These dogs have ranged in age from 10 to 18 years and have been supported by the Foundation from 4 to 22 months.
