She may not be able to see or hear the world around her, but she still gets to experience its comforts.

Pom Pom's story

Not every senior dog is a candidate for adoption. Some need a different kind of home, with ongoing care and comfort for the rest of their lives. Pom Pom, a 14-year-old dog found alone in a creek, came to Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary blind, deaf, and living with dementia. Her medical needs and advanced age made traditional adoption an unlikely option. With support from Grey Muzzle, Pom Pom received a medical evaluation, senior bloodwork, dental care, and vaccinations. Because adoption wasn’t the right fit, Pom Pom became part of Full Circle’s lifelong hospice program, where she’ll have a loving home and care for the rest of her life. And she has found some favorite parts of her new routine! Pom Pom enjoys morning walks with her foster family and their other dogs. Because she is blind and has mobility challenges, she gets to ride along comfortably in a sling, enjoying the fresh air and all the interesting smells around her. She may not be able to see or hear the world around her, but she still gets to experience its comforts. Grey Muzzle funding helped Pom Pom get the care she needed and a safe place to spend the rest of her days. She’ll be loved, cared for, and never left behind again.
