To care for a maximum of 80 dogs at once a passionate animal lover who couldnât bear the thought of pets experiencing loneliness converted her house into a hospice.
After facing difficulties, in finding a home for her fathers aging Doberman, Valerie Reid, whoâs 44 years old established the Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary as a non profit organization in Hermitage, Missouri back in 2017.
We couldnât simply give her away because we had already reached the citys pet limit â recalled Valerie. âDespite our efforts no rescue organization was willing to take her in due to her age.â
Valerie now provides homes, for dogs whose owners have either moved into retirement homes or have been unable to care for them. These dogs often spend time in shelters before finding refuge with Valerie and her husband.
