THE SANCTUARY
About Us
Dogtree Pines
DOGTREE PINES is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit senior dog rescue & sanctuary located on 6 acres in the pines of Prescott, Arizona. We are dedicated to seniors in need of a forever home, medical, hospice and end of life care. We primarily intake high risk, med-large breeds who are 10 years and older. We adopt & foster out a few, but the majority that come to the pines are here to stay. We support them with great food, supplements, medications, & love until the time of their passing. People call it “Doggie Disneyland” as we supply everything needed for health and happiness. We call it "DOGTREE PINES SENIOR DOG SANCTUARY - Where miracles happen"
Our MISSION
OUR MISSION IS TO RESCUE, PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE, NUTRITIOUS FOOD, AND SUPERIOR LOVE & CARE IN AN AMAZING SANCTUARY SETTING TO HOSPICE AND SENIOR LARGE DOGS THAT ARE LOCATED IN ARIZONA AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
WHY SENIORS?
They are the sweetest, most appreciative dogs! Almost all the dogs we rescue have come from horrible circumstances. Some were once somebody’s dog and knew a better life, but for circumstances we will never know or understand, have ended up homeless, lost, sick, injured, neglected, ignored, or on the euthanasia list with no hope of rescue. They deserve better than that and they know better. “No dog deserves to die alone in a cage on a cold concrete floor, certainly not seniors that have given their entire lives to us!”, states Cindy Lamont, Founder.
THE STATE OF THE UNION
Seniors are being dropped at shelters, dumped and euthanized in record numbers right now. Seniors are especially hard to adopt out because they have limited time left and may have unusually large vet bills. Very few people go to a shelter looking to adopt an old broken dog that they will only have for a very short time. In addition, rescues face the same challenges. Seniors cost more, require more time and effort and they cannot recoup an adoption fee in most cases. These old guys usually sit at the shelter, uncomfortable and in pain, until eventually they are euthanized. Dogtree Pines gives these dogs the joy, love and health that they deserve and when it comes time, a loving passing.
Provided Care
Food/Special diets
Quality of Life Care
Quality of Life Care
We feed based on the needs of the dogs but most of our seniors eat a custom diet. Some eat chicken, lamb & beef based meals, and a few must have even more specialized diets to include boneless skinless chicken, chicken soup with vegetables, ground beef, turkey, rotisserie chicken, raw, and disease specific. They also eat a “veggie glop” that we make from pureed raw vegetables and freeze monthly. Canned pumpkin, Omega-3 and other supplements are added.

When the time comes, we choose a peaceful location in the pines in which to lay them to rest, a place that they enjoyed spending time. They are surrounded by love and their pack when it is time to say goodbye. It's always the hardest part, but part of what we do.
