"SILVER LININGS for SENIOR DOGS" with Erica Psaltis

Silver Linings for Senior Dogs – The Rescue Ranch Giving Aging Pups a Second Chance

Every cloud has a silver lining—and for senior dogs in Bend, Oregon, that silver lining is Silver Linings Rescue Ranch. Founded by Erica Psaltis, this heartwarming sanctuary is dedicated to giving older dogs the love, dignity, and second chance they so deeply deserve.

After adopting a senior dog herself, Erica discovered just how much joy, wisdom, and companionship these “seasoned souls” bring. That experience led her to create a safe haven for older dogs—especially those left behind when their owners pass away or can no longer care for them.

Located in the heart of Dog Town USA (yes, that’s a real nickname for pet-loving Bend!), Silver Linings Rescue Ranch is more than just a place—it’s a movement. In a city known for its iconic dog parade and dog-friendly culture, Erica is filling a gap in rescue work, focusing on dogs who are too often overlooked because of their age.

This episode is a touching tribute to the power of second chances, the magic of senior dogs, and one woman’s mission to make sure every dog’s golden years truly shine. Grab a tissue—and maybe your own senior pup—and listen in. This one will warm your heart.
