Grampie's freedom ride - A Hospice Rescue story

At the Bond Between we strive to give a happy ending for hundreds of dogs and cats every single day and this fall we have a heart warming story of a Senior dog, Grampie, as he takes his freedom ride to his forever foster home.

Grampie’s ride to his foster home

Grampie is our new Hospice boy who came from Minneapolis Animal Care & Control. Grampie is an approximately 10 year old male Pit Bull. He is so gentle and soft- inside and out! Grampie still has good quality of life, but he has a lot of senior dog issues which is common with our hospice cases. But that does not stop our sweet old man from loving his life! He is very social and he enjoys sniffing around, checking things out, playing with other dogs, and taking treats.

Grampie’s days were numbered at the shelter and we just couldn’t stop ourselves from saying YES to him. He deserves to enjoy the last few years of his life in a loving home. We just made that happen with the help of our Hospice Rescue Program and a loving foster home. Although The Bond Between rescue programs are adoption-based, we could not let these senior animals live out their final days in a lonely shelter. All animals deserve to feel love, even if it's in their final days. We are so happy that we were able to give Grampie a peaceful life filled with love during his last few years.
