Jurassik Bark Senior & Special Needs Dog Rescue Society is a foster based, CRA registered Non-Profit Organization, run entirely by volunteers and funded by donors.

We are dedicated to Making A Difference for displaced Senior and Special Needs Dogs through "Responsible Rescue" practices.
We provide a safe haven, medical care, rehabilitation and rehoming for the "underdogs", the dogs that generally get overlooked due to age, health conditions or physical abilities and whose fate would otherwise quite often end in unnecessary euthanasia.

OUR MISSION

To build an ever growing community of volunteers to responsibly rescue, rehabilitate & rehome the incredible Dogs that come into our program. A community driven by compassion and kindness, that values the uniqueness that each dog offers regardless of their age or abilities.
While showcasing the incredible value that these amazing elderly, palliative and special needs dogs can bring to our own lives.

Meet Edward. Sir Edward-Anne Wrinkleton to be exact AKA the stinky wrinkle, weena, beans, toots, toots magoots, The old fart machine ... I could go on.

Edward is The Founding Fur Father, the resident wrinkle and the motivation behind Jurassik Bark Rescue.

Edward is my soul dog, best friend and partner in crime. He was adopted 6 years ago from a local rescue. Edward didn’t have the best start at life but I can say without a doubt he’s living a life of luxury now, he is the king of the castle around here.

Watching Edward age as his once black muzzle turns a distinguishing frosty grey and as arthritis slowly takes over his body making our once speedy jonts around the neighborhood now a very slow saunter has been absolutely heartbreaking but on the flip side so incredibly rewarding, this old man has been by my side through my toughest times, he’s put up with my breakdowns more than any other man would and he’s happy to listen and snuggle anytime, anyplace. So getting to care for him as he ages is a privilege, I owe it to him for the loyalty and unconditional love he’s given me. I’m lucky to have my best friend still by my side at 11 years old (Nov 2021) This is something many people don’t get to experience or don’t appreciate when they have senior dogs.

Every dog deserves to experience the love they give, returned. Hence why Jurassik Bark was born. Whether they were displaced after their owners passed or simply discarded because people no longer saw the incredible value they hold. No matter the situation, every senior dog deserves a safe loving home and should not have to cross the rainbow bridge without experiencing that.

Loving a senior dog is absolutely a privilege and one you won’t regret.
