Interview: Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary Founder, Doreen Jakubcak 🐶

I talked to a neighbor this week who recently lost their dog. She just adopted a senior dog who lost her home after 11 years. Bless her heart!!

In celebration of Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November, I’m re-posting my interview about Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary. Enjoy!

The month of November feels like the true holiday season has arrived! This month, we celebrate National Senior Pet Month and the ASPCA’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Senior pets are as gentle, loving, and loyal as any younger pet.

In celebration of all senior pets, I’m happy to share my interview with Founder and Director, Doreen Jakubcak. Out of love for Marty, a rescue dog who forever changed her life, Doreen created a wonderful and loving home for senior pets called Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary.
