Gettin' To Know Patricia Rogers and Paul Cassidy | Owners of Pattie's Waggin Tails

In this episode, we chat with Patricia Rogers and Paul Cassidy of Pattie’s Waggin Tails Senior Sanctuary in Northeastern Pennsylvania, a nonprofit pairing senior dogs (7+) with senior citizens while covering vet care, food, medications, grooming, and transport through a Forever Foster program. They share that the organization recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, has 40 dogs currently in the program, and addresses the risk of senior dogs being surrendered and euthanized when owners fall ill or pass. They discuss their background in rescue and animal control, motivations rooted in caregiving, the broader shelter overcapacity issues tied to breeding and lack of spay/neuter, and the sanctuary’s costs, fundraising, grants, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events, plus how to adopt or support them online. For more information about Pattie's Waggin' Tails Senior Sanctuary, visit their website or find them on Facebook and Instagram.If you or someone you know wants to be featured on our podcast, visit our website!
