Meet Your New Best Friend: Silver Snout Senior Dog Rescue Event in Sarasota
In the season of giving, some of the most deserving souls wear fur and carry years of quiet wisdom behind their eyes.
This December, Silver Snout Senior Dog Rescue is hosting a heartfelt adoption and fundraiser event in Venice, Sarasota County, where the focus is on love, second chances, and senior dogs who simply want a safe place to call home.
From gentle tail wags to soft, greying snouts, these dogs have seen life, and are still ready to give their hearts.
A Mission That Matters
Silver Snout isn’t your average dog rescue. Their mission is focused solely on senior dogs, those who often get passed over in shelters because of their age or medical needs. These are dogs who once had families, homes, routines. Many were surrendered due to life changes, others were simply left behind.
Yet despite the hardships, senior dogs are some of the most loving, resilient companions you could ever meet. They're calm. Grateful. And more than ready to spend their golden years in a home where they’re safe, seen, and loved.
At the heart of Silver Snout’s work is a belief we can all get behind: every dog deserves dignity, no matter their age.
A Conversation That Inspires
To shine an even brighter light on Silver Snout’s mission, Ashley Jansen recently joined Travis Jansen on the Choose Your Hard Podcast to talk about what it truly takes to run a senior dog rescue — the emotional grit, the victories, and the challenges that don’t always make it to social media.
In this special episode, Ashley shares:
• Why senior dogs are the most overlooked in shelters
• The medical and emotional care these seniors require
• What Silver Snout needs most from the community
• The heart behind the December 6th adoption & fundraiser event
• How love, leadership, and resilience shape the rescue’s daily work
It’s a heartfelt conversation about compassion, responsibility, and choosing the harder path when it matters most.
