Senior Dog and Helen Woodward Animal Center Dog to compete in American Rescue Dog Show!

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19th OLYM-PET SENIOR CANINE GOES FOR GOLD!

While young athletes from around the world receive broadcast attention competing for gold, a senior athlete of the fuzzier-kind gets his time to shine on national television this coming Monday night. Sammy, an 8-year old, Boston Terrier-blend and Helen Woodward Animal Center rescue will compete for the title of “Best Fetcher” on Hallmark Channel’s AMERICAN RESCUE DOG SHOW, proving that senior canines can go paw-to-paw with the pups.

Sammy, originally named Pop, was adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center in 2010 by the Tosheff family, including mom and dad, Lauren and Alex, and sisters Abigail, Kelly and Tara. At a very young age, Sammy displayed his athletic proclivity, preferring his ball over all other toys. In fact, Sammy overcame his fear of swimming when he was given the opportunity to fetch his ball out of the water.

The premiere one-of-a-kind, three-hour special, slated to light up your President’s Day, will feature 52 shelter dogs from across the country vying for top dog in the world’s most adorable categories.

The “2018 American Rescue Dog Show” is part of the Hallmark Channel’s cross-platform campaign “Adoption Ever After”, aimed at raising the profile of shelter pets. During the star-studded three-hour special, canines from various shelters and rescues will compete for grants for their alumni shelters from the Petco Foundation.

Discover why senior dogs rule when you fall in love with Trey!

One of the best things about older dogs is many of them have lived enough life to appreciate every moment they have, and aren’t slowed by potential obstacles — like having three legs.

Trey was given his name because this adorable pup is a tri-pawd but I can tell you that this doesn’t slow Trey down one bit! He loves to go for walks, explore, and play.

He is great with other dogs and learning to quickly warm up to new people, too. Trey came to us from a family that no longer had time to take care of him, and he can’t wait to find a place to call home.

We know this loving boy will continue to blossom once he knows he’s found his new family!

Trey is 8 years young and weighs 9 pounds.

Fall in love with him at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco!
