There’s no shortage of activity, good food, and love here at Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary.

There’s plenty of outdoor space for leisurely walks, rolling in the grass, and playing ball. There are van rides for enrichment, visits with our horse neighbors, and time spent enjoying the beautiful countryside of northeastern Pennsylvania.

There’s fresh goat’s milk to drink, frsh food to nourish their bodies, cozy places to rest, and most importantly, the peace that comes from knowing they are safe, warm, dry, and deeply loved.

This is Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary and Life With Old Dogs, where senior German Shepherds who were once abandoned are given a second chance at the very best life we can possibly provide for all of their remaining days.

Because being old should never mean being forgotten.

If your senior dog is getting bored with kibble, eating less enthusiastically, or you’re simply wondering how to make each bowl work a little harder nutritionally, this one is for you.

I put together a new Life With Old Dogs blog post all about simple whole-food additions that can help solve some of the most common feeding challenges senior dog parents face — from adding moisture and variety to boosting nutrition without completely changing your dog’s diet.

You don’t need to overhaul the bowl. Sometimes a few thoughtful additions can make a meaningful difference.

Caring for an old dog can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also leave you with a lot of questions.

What should they be eating? How much exercise is too much? What can help with mobility? Is this change normal aging, or something that needs a veterinarian? How do you keep them comfortable, engaged, and enjoying life as they get older?

That is exactly why I created Life With Old Dogs.

It is a growing resource for people who want practical, compassionate guidance for caring for senior dogs. You’ll find information on nutrition, home-cooked meals, mobility, arthritis, cognitive changes, enrichment, quality of life, holistic wellness, and the everyday realities of living with and loving an aging dog.

We offer blog posts, podcast episodes, newsletters, tips, personal experience from nearly two decades of caring for senior dogs, and more resources added all the time.

If you’re caring for an old dog and trying to do the very best you can for them, you do not have to figure everything out alone.

Visit Life With Old Dogs at www.lifewitholddogs.com and explore the resources available to help you make their senior years as comfortable, healthy, and meaningful as possible.

The same holds true for your old dog.

Just because you may be upset over something, doesn't mean leave them on a nasty note.

I have personally walked in or woke up to find two former residents who were deceased while I was asleep or out running errands.

You just never know.

We love our dogs. Right? And because we love our dogs, naturally, we want what's best for them.

At Woody's Place, I have a special affection for the residents and dedicate myself to enhancing their daily lives. One way I do this is by crafting homemade dog food and treats, prioritizing their health and nutrition. As a result, the happiness they display when I serve their meals is truly invaluable.

One recipe I created is my Healthy Soft Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats Made With Only Five Simple Ingredients. Since we are approaching the "all things pumpkin" time of year, I thought I'd share the recipe with you and your fur friend.

Wanna give them a try? Your fur friend will love them, and you'll feel good knowing exactly what's in them!

As I drive the residents through the beautiful Wayne County, PA countryside on our outings, the dogs breathe in the fresh air while I find myself staring at all the old barns.

Some are still beautifully maintained. Others are slowly being reclaimed by the earth. I can’t help but wonder about the animals, farm families, and generations of work that once filled them.

Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to them. I’ve chosen, in my own way, to live that kind of life. Less rushing. Less noise. More land, animals, old dogs, homemade food, muddy boots, and work that actually means something.

Life With Old Dogs has never been just about the dogs. It’s about the life I’ve built around them and, more and more, about opting out of modern society wherever I can in favor of something slower, simpler, and more intentional.

Sasha says „Wer wagt es, vor meinem Haus herumzulaufen?“

Who dares to walk outside my house?

Typical GSD. 🤣

Friday was a busy one here at Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary.

There was laundry to do, including Sashi’s reusable diapers and pads, muddy mats to clean, and plenty of the usual chores. But I promised the girls a nice long walk if they behaved, and they did, so off we went.

Afterward, Sashi got cleaned up and into a fresh diaper, the girls rested while I worked, and later we headed out for a long country ride. We came across turkeys in the road and a deer who was in absolutely no hurry to move, which is pretty typical around here.

Then it was home for dinner, a few more chores, and finally some rest.

Nothing fancy. Just walks, laundry, muddy paws, country roads, dinner, and caring for old dogs.

That’s life at Woody’s Place.

That’s Life With Old Dogs.
