In the land of devoted dog owners, Colorado is making headlines again with a sanctuary that takes "pampered pooches" to a whole new level. A new facility in Douglas County is offering a haven for senior dogs that might otherwise be overlooked. Welcome to Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, where retirement is nothing short of fabulous!
Ivory, a street-savvy pup from Trinidad, is one of the lucky residents at Pepper's. She now strolls through meticulously designed play areas, including separate zones for lazy lounging, active play, temporary stays, and a sensory garden. Forget traditional kennels; at Pepper's, dogs snooze in cozy bedrooms with plush beds.
Pepper's founders, Mary Leprino, Justin Klemer, and Leigh Sullivan, have built a retirement home and hospice that offers state-of-the-art veterinary care, water rehabilitation, and a top-notch kitchen. The team believes senior dogs deserve a chance to live their golden years in comfort.
Caring for senior dogs may have challenges, but with proper care and medication, these pups rediscover their zest for life. Pepper's takes its name from a chihuahua named Pepper and aims to contribute to Colorado's journey towards becoming a "no kill" state.
Pepper's exclusively takes dogs from shelters and partners with Firefly Autism and senior centers to foster the bond between humans and animals. Volunteer opportunities are available to create a brighter future for these senior dogs.
At Pepper's, it's all about giving back. Let's make Colorado a place where no animal has to be euthanized due to lack of space. Because when it comes to furry friends, love knows no limits!
