White Whiskers Bark & Bid For the Fall & Holidays

The mission of White Whiskers is to ensure the well-being of senior dogs by providing a caring and compassionate option to live out their years, and to offer companionship for humans who will benefit from the special love that only dogs can provide.

White Whiskers Senior Dog Sanctuary of Western New York will be a unique dog shelter in the Akron, NY. We are an all-volunteer venture that aims to ease the stress and anxiety that senior dogs experience when they lose their homes by providing a vibrant and compassionate option for them to live out their years in safety, comfort, and peace.

White Whiskers will provide senior dogs a home-like setting in which to live where they can interact with other dogs and humans as well. It will not just be a haven for older dogs, but one that would benefit humans through interactions with the dogs. Imagine a green space filled with children who are playing with the dogs or reading to them; or a place where high school students can come and study with a dog on their lap, or where senior adults can gather at the sanctuary to enjoy an afternoon of classical music surrounded by contented dogs.

We are honored to have you along for the journey!

We have big dreams! Follow along, volunteer, or donate to help us make these big dreams turn into a special place for senior dogs and the people who love them. Please “like” us on social media platforms and “share” our dreams with your social network. Stay tuned for regular updates on our mission to give senior dogs a soft place to land when they find themselves experiencing homelessness.
