If anyone knows of someone that has a small mature dog that is moving to a "no pet" apartment, or of someone moving to a nursing home and would like to donate the little dog to a senior lonely woman.  
This woman has been widowed within the last 2 years and then had to lose her favorite "puppy" of about 16 years. She is lonely and would love a mature dog to keep her company. The mature dog would be well taken care of and "pampered" with lots of love.

FFFF has a few dogs that might meet your needs. Sully looks like he might be a good match.

Diesel might be a good match too.

Hi there  
Funds for Furry Friends likely has some excellent options for you but Sully would not be one of them. He's being fostered in my house and he is such a lovely dog but he is 100 lbs and still learning how to walk on a leash, and is only 1-2 years old. He also would really benefit from another dog being in the house with him.  
 
I do hope you find your perfect companion! Dogs make life better

Have you looked at Before the Bridge rescue in Winnipeg? They mainly have small, mature dogs for adoption.

OMG, Have you seen Jumbo at the Brandon Humane Society. Part corgi. Not that old but sounds like a calm dog. What a cutie!

They are in Winnipeg & usually focus on smaller breeds of all types, ages, & situations, etc that needed rescuing.  
Quite a list of adorable characters on their adoptable list right now.

OMG now I want to adopt Jumbo!!!

I too have been trying to rescue a small dog. The rescues here in Brandon “usually” get medium to large breed dogs.  
 
The rescue in Winnipeg you suggested might have a restriction on the area they adopt out to, such as Winnipeg and perhaps as far as portage only. I could be wrong. Please go ahead and try. Your circumstance is different than mine. This is why I haven’t tried adopting from them yet!

We have a sweet little dog she is Frenchie pug cross is almost 2 years old fully house broken and kennel trained perfect for a senior who is always with her she’s a little shadow. Please email if interested

Might be a good idea, too, if the senior has limited experience with pets or their situation may change, that a rescue will take back the pet for such situations. With a "give away" pet, the senior may have more issues. Too, rescues provide health checked pets and support, etc. Much better imo.

Thank you for your input of your little dog.  
Is the little still available?  
Would you please send photos?
