My Nonprofit Reviews

During the pandemic, our family had to put two of our dogs to sleep. Both were seniors that we’d taken care of for over 12 years each. We still had one senior dog at home who we thought seemed lonely. That’s when I started looking at adopting another dog, but knew an adult to senior aged dog would probably be best. Knowing that the dog picks the owner, we made several trips to ACC before we met Sonny. He wasn’t in the best shape and needed a place to recover and relax. He had recently been adopted and surrendered after one week! I was a little hesitant about how much trouble an 8 lbs chihuahua could be, but my husband fell in love with the little guy. We were in and that’s when we learned that Sonny was part of the Classic Canines community. I was unfamiliar with them, but Jean from Classic Canines is a great communicator. She got me up to speed and filled me in on the services they provide for senior dogs who need a home. Sonny was intact when we adopted him, but he was too sick to go through surgery. We were able to adopt him, but had to commit to getting Sonny neutered. Classic Canines covered the cost of Sonny’s surgery, sent us to a fantastic pet hospital and we were very grateful. That allowed us to afford some much needed dental work for Sonny. He is doing great and we look forward to taking care of him for as long as he needs us.
